The fps of the game Im playing decreases the longer I play?
I have an hp split x2 ultrabook and with solid slate drive. The two games I play are league and tera and the fps of both games decreases the longer I play the game. Is there anyway to fix this? Or it cannot be fixed?

@iAreDavidx3 yeah it's really a let down isn't it? And I thought I got the coolest laptop ever.
@BobR Well looks like I'm going to buy a new computer. Thanks for your creativity.

You could probably open it up and add active cooling and large heatsinks to the CPU/GPU, but it would end up looking like a Frankenstein monster and not be portable any more. People have done similar things to game consoles that were designed with marginal cooling by opening up the system and gluing aluminum heatsinks to the chips. Unfortunately a tablet is designed for extreme compactness so you'd have to remove the case to fit the cooling to the guts and leave it hanging open like a Borg zombie.
[quote=GregoryG]It is called throttling it means your cpu/gpu is running too hot so it will lower the strength automatically to prevent any damage to your hardware.
Open your laptop and clean the fans directly.
[b]edit:[/b] I see that you have a tablet, and I belive the hp split x2 ultrabook is cooled passively , if so your in a bit of trouble. Tablets(passively cooled) aren't meant to run semi intensive games.[/quote]
he's right. i'm a split x2 user as well and from my experiences it should only be for casual use (i really regret buying it lol)

@Phonetics @zpattack12
yes my pc does get really hot. I looked at my task manager and it's never above 80% memory so that can't be the problem. Is there any other way to cool it down? The cooler pad won't work since the cpu is behind the screen instead under the keyboard ( it's a convertible).
The games could also be leaking memory (aka coded inefficiently in some way) causing more memory to be used from the game and requiring more and more cpu to handle it all. Its probably what @Phonetics said with the heating though.
