CPU hot

[Lau]

I play game such as Planet Coaster and Cities Skylines on a decent gaming laptop, But there is one problem: Overheating.Like 2000 guests and my cpu is already a 85 degrees. I'm not a expert in software and hardware but I think a desktop is a better solution?
Can someone help me?

Thank you! :)

Sorry of hear of that, and yes it a simple problem of physics. This game is deep simulation, that's a lot of work for the CPU. Work equals heat, and that heat need is be taken away. Laptops don't have a lot of space to get rid of the heat. So yes a desktop (being bigger) will have less issues with that. You could also try external cooling (like a fan pointed at the laptop) or an external heat sink (like a metal tray) to help move the heat away.

Try downloading a 3rd party program to increase fan speed to 100℅ when playing, might help:)

85 is normal for gaming laptop. It's fine.

So a decent desktop should handle like 5000 guests on a normal cpu temp? :)

My overclocked i7 2600k gets to about 70 degrees with a huge park, in other non CPU intensive games it usually stays around 60 degrees. The only thing able to push my CPU past 70 degrees so far is this game, and Prime95.

Okay, I see. Do you use normal fan cooling or water cooling?

Fan cooling.

Make sure your not blocking your laptop vents in any way, many laptops have bottom vents that get blocked by clothing, etc. Also laptops can get filled with dust and the fans and heat sinks can need servicing / cleaning to become efficient again. PC towers can have far far superior cooling. My PC has two radiators for water coolers and three fans and make less noise then my laptop fans. GPU and CPU nerver gets over 65C on hightest load for hours.

Also your laptop will have safety mechanisms to power off if the temperature gets too high but high heat almost always shortens the life of the laptop.

Strange, my laptop i7 6700HQ, 32Gb RAM, GTX 1060 not hot CPU 70°C & GPU 74°C because I use laptop stand with 6 fans cooler. Look like your laptop on legs or bed duvet is getting hot, buy laptop stand with fans help cooled down.

i5 and i7 auto clock down when they go over 90c and auto shut down your computer at 115c. in the 80s is ok.

Throw that crap away and get yourself a proper pc, never seen a slaptop not over heat, unless you playing snap or checkers on it.

yeah with like 600-800 guests my temps are also like yours, but with a couple of coasters and rides, with app. 2000 guests it will logically rise to higher temperatures :)

mine gets to max around 50-60 using a corsair hydro h100. best cooler i ever bought.
