laptop cpu 90*C

very hot cpu + long game session cant be good for laptop life

[bradybrklyn]

You're probably right.

♥♥♥♥ laptop?

Try limitting your frame rate then for long sessions and happy laptop life.

90C is EXTREMELY hot. Im lucky if my FX Gets to 40C tho. Try turning graphics down or just getting a new laptop. an HP Pavilion with an i7 would be good, or a Lenovo with an i5.

At 90C your cpu is getting ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, upgrade your fans, thermal paste and get one of those fan-desk things you put your laptop on

Sometimes its just the limit of the laptop to handle heat from BOTH CPU and graphics... if its either one its fine... if both have high loads, its a bit overworked

i live in a high ambient temp environment... so i change this setting of my laptop to cap by CPU at 90% instead of 100% performance.

Power Options --> edit Plan settings --> Advanced Power Settings --> Processor Power Management --> Maximum processor state

avaliable for both win 10 and win7. actual words may differ depending on OS versions.

yes, it caps my processor some... but it feels way better to play at 70-75C as opposed to 90C.

How the ♥♥♥♥ can you get yours to stay on at 90C mine auto shuts off at under 60C.

@furry_freak: 60C is wayyyy too low for it to shutdown...
theres something else funny in your system. what processor do youhave?

[Feudal]

60C isn't even thermal throttle time, let alone shutdown. 90C is when all my stuff starts shutting down.

It's an AMD A4-3300M

The newer laptops just keep throttling down until it is unplayable. I don't think they go over 85C.

If you ever get a gaming laptop, make sure it has dual coolers. One for CPU and one for GPU. Otherwise it will always throttle down on you. Avoid Dell, HP, etc. MSI usually gets the best gaming laptop ratings nowadays. Asus are very good Stix/ROG series gaming laptops as well. You'll likely pay a premium for them.

a lot of notebooks with "dual coolers" uses heatpipes that go across both the CPU and GPU.... so in essence its... shared.

(dual heatpipe that joins the 2 coolers)

Partially shared: https://www.ultrabookreview.com/18807-asus-rog-gl503vs-review/
(single heatpipe that joins the 2 coolers and the 2 other individual ones)

Somewhat split... https://www.notebookcheck.net/MSI-GF62VR-7RF-7700HQ-GTX-1060-FHD-60-Hz-Laptop-Review.262362.0.html
are there even any notebooks with truly split dual coolers now?


My ancient Acer 3820TG have 2 coolers left and right for CPU and GPU without any crossing heatpipe, truly not shared. I could OC each of them individually when depending on purpose. ah... the good old times.

im on a tight budget... i dont play enough to justify an all out gaming notebook like ASUS and MSI... got myself a Dell 7567 notebook for 900usd... 7700HQ + 1050Ti + a good enough IPS screen. With a 5+hr battery life under normal usage so it functions as standard notebook away from the a/c power (whoopie!)

the newer Dell 7767 upped graphics to 1060 max-Q... but drops the (mini)subwoofer and a third of the battery. =/

Splurge on an MSI and don't look back.
I cant tell you how happy I was after buying it.
Took about 2 weeks to get over the sticker shock though.

Dual coolers are the biggest key. a single cooler cooling both a dedicated GPU and a high end CPU won't work. And many may cut corners to keep the prices down.

But shared coolers usually have at least one heat pipe going direct;y from one cooler to the other. This benefits the GPU the most as GPU generate a lot of heat. They have way more processing power than CPUs, but they have limited abilities on what they can process.

But I'd imagine you'd need to get to the highest end models to need separate coolers.

I mean these new nvidia cards are so low powered with no competition from AMD.

I mean the 1080 only needs a single power connector for base models. That is usually the 1060 model. with 1070 needing one 8-pin and one 6-pin and the 1080 would need two 8-pin connectors.

The reference cards usually pull around 180 watts total. 75 watts from motherboard.

My old GTX 780 took over 300 watts of power to run for comparison. I hope AMD pulls their heads out of their behinds as this is just getting ridiculous. nvidias touting their mid-range cards as their top tier cards. then launching their high end card as a professional $3,200 card that's roughly 5% faster then the 1080 Ti. They're intentionally stifling the market because they have no completion. At least they have some competition with Ryzen CPUs and AMD forced Intel to lunch their 6-core to the main stream market. It took them long enough. 6 years since bulldozer 8-core were released by AMD, and just recently they were competitive enough to outperform Intels 4-cores.

But back on topic. If you get a gaming laptop you better make sure it has dual cooler. Maybe check online or YouTube to see the design. I'm sure they'll all start having dual coolers, so they will still cut corners on design to be competitive.
