Laptop temperature

[smolbaka]

Is it normal for laptop to be 80-95°C while running this game?

[Captain T1]

Well it depends on what laptop you got. What temp is that? You're CPU or GPU?
Also are the air vents clear of any dust?

I'm currently use ASUS TUF gaming F15
the temp is in °C its around 75 for GPU and 80-95 for CPU
and I just clean it last month, so there should not be that much dust

Yeah "gaming" laptops always get crazy hot, laptop design can't dissipate heat enough

[MrSoul]

Yes that is entirely normal for a laptop. My asus rog gets slightly less hotter than that but also use a cooling pad.

According to asus support guy at least, they’re built to operate at those temps cos as other poster stated, compact design simply cannot dissipate heat like a desktop can.

so is there going to be any problem in the long run?

I mean, got warranty for a reason, and mines a year old, played over 1000 hours of wh3 with it, no issues.

Got the cooling pad for work laptop really, now the work laptop goes ape over excel spreadsheets and honestly worries me. Asus rog feel like could play next to a volcano vent and it’d be fine if not optimal in comparison lol which is also why use the rog for work now and finally bit bullet on upgrading old desktop. If that didnt just confuse f outta ya Lolol

Point being in my experience using the rog for gaming over previous year; it gets hot yes but that was never an issue and always ran the game quite well for ‘only’ having a 3060. Still does too, just using it on weekend there while travelling.

That's normal for most any gaming laptop.

[Teh_Diplomat]

That's normal

Think about the tight compartment of a laptop vs. a PC Tower. Tight area= less heat in-flow/out-flow, and the heat will be more concentrated, since all of the parts are packed tightly together, compared to a PC Tower.

If you dislike the temps you are getting then you may want turn down some settings in the game. But honestly doesn't seem too bad from your reported temps, considering it is a laptop.

Laptops do tend to get that hot, but for me: I'd be cautious and tone down some graphics, if possible.

[MrSoul]

^ya good point.
They can handle going ham for sure, and no need for immediate panic but if lowering few settings or capping the frames does moderate temps etc, no harm with erring on side of caution either.

Yeah, the heat management is why a lot of us are playing on desktops with huge towers and multiple fans/liquid cooling.

Gaming laptops have always been about compromise, even more so since the manufacturers and engineers behind them followed the Apple trend (basically worse even, far more power and ever thinner profiles)

I mean, look at the size and number of fans in your average gaming desktop, along with the sheer volume of space within. Compare that to a gaming laptop with (usually) two far smaller fans and far, far less space for airflow in, through/across the internals and out again, with minimal heatsink to boot.

That's not to say gaming laptops can't be a good choice or performant btw, just that as much as the form factor are a compromise vs demand, how you use one also must be a matter of compromise vs a desktop.

For me it's an easy enough fix (assuming said laptop is also a good brand/model, kept clean etc) I simply drop one preset and/or cap fps down. My Lenovo Legion 5 (6800H, 3070ti, 16Gb RAM, 1440p) can manage 60-65 fps ultra (battles at least) for 85C at lowest, loud fans and maxed out VRAM... but I tweak for 60 fps capped high, units ultra, for 75C max, far quieter fans and less drops in battles and campaign. It's honestly no poorer an experience vs my desktop (5800X, 6800XT, 32Gb RAM) at high, units ultra, capped to 75 fps for around the same temps. The only real difference is my desktop is doing that at 3440x1440 instead of 1440p.

A laptop cooling pad might help but didn’t do much for me when I had an Alienware laptop in like 2016-17 playing wh2, putting new thermal paste on CPU after removing some of the stock thermal paste noticeably improved my temps for around 6-12 months after. But taking apart a laptop just to put thermal paste on cpu is a taller order than it is for a desktop too, a couple hours potentially vs a few minutes if your laptop has a tricky layout to take apart

Your temps are completely normal for a gaming laptop. However, prolong use under the higher temps will take a toll on it's overall life span as would any electronic device. Hell the wire in your walls is only rated for 75C.

You should seriously take the advice of others and get a cooling pad and refrain placing your system on loose fabrics or other surfaces that block airflow. Also be aware that USB ports can and will die on you after extended use as well so if a cooling pad uses USB for power just be aware. Their not terribly expensive to replace and really I'm talking a good while before you have to worry.

are you using programs like msi afterburner to lower the total power output of your gpu? I found that my old one gtx 1660 ti, used to run on turbo for no reason and it raised it temps by like 10c. but after tweaking it using youtube tutorials, i still got 60 fps and lowered my temps.

also theres programs for your cpu...or something. undervolting, look that up as well.
