This game makes my laptop overheat. It doesn't even use up half of my CPU's processing power, but if I run it without throttling, it consistently overheats my laptop. Why is that? Is there any fix other than throttling my CPU?

And I don't know if it's important, but throttling doesn't slow down the game, it's just my laptop overheats when running this game unthrottled.

hm this is the first ive heard of this issue, what are you running on?  it may also be a unity issue 

It's a pretty old laptop. Core i7-2820QM, intel (R) HD Graphics 3000, AMD Radeon HD 6700M. It generally doesn't overheat on games that place a similar amount of load on it. Usually what heats it up has 3D stuff though.
