Need help with my laptop temperatures

[JPizzle]

i have a gigabyte g5 kc with an rtx 3060. and i5 10050h, or something like that.

My problem is that despite cleaning out all the dust with a vaccuum, repasting the thermal paste, buying the most expensive cooling pad on the market (llano, completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless btw, if anything it increased my temperatures in gaming vs my laptop stand)

despite all these things, my GPU is constantly sitting around 86-87 under heavy load.
what else can i do? I know there is undervolting but i do not wanna go there, i am borderline retarded and i will ♥♥♥♥ it up somehow and destroy my laptop faster than my GPU will melt at the current pace...

I need some help getting my temperatures down to a level where my GPU won't slowly melt over the course of a year or two..

Check if game in Nvidia experience now run game in DSR Resolutions.

86-87 degree for a laptop 3060 under heavy load is completely normal.
Even the desktop 3060 with way better airflow usually goes above 80 degree under full load.
Modern GPU are made to work under these temps full time.
The 3060 has a thermal throttle of 96 degree celsius, meaning thats the temp where the GPU starts to clock down to lower temperatures.

If it does not go higher then 86-87 under full load in demanding games you dont really have to worry about it. Laptops just become hotter then desktops, thats the price for the limited space.

My older RTX 2080 which i use mainly for AI picture generation has run for nearly 6 years under similar temps daily and still works as well as on day 1.

Laptops will allways be hot.
If you can not get the temperature lower, it likely was meant like that.

With a normal pc i nearly dont feel warmth at the exhaust.
An old laptop if it does something, the air feels unhealthy hot.

While high, it is a laptop after all. Temps will typically run a higher due to the reduced space and cooling solutions. The components are built with that in mind. The breaking point of most components are 100c. But before you even reach that point, they will begin to throttle themselves down. That's an advancement that's come about in recent years.

Other than reducing graphics features, or resolution in game, the hardware will take care of itself. One thing to try is make sure the laptop is on a hard surface to prevent airflow from being blocked at all.

Good luck.

Mine is fine just change ur fan speed to high and it will do the job or undervolt ur gpu

While high that’s fairly normal for laptops. It’s pretty hard to get the temps down under load given the limited amount of air it can push out the fins. Those temps are not overheating levels so I wouldn’t worry.
