Gaming Notebook VRAM at 110 degree

[Cherdogan]

Hello everyone,

I just bought a Lenovo gaming notebook which has 7840HS and 4060.
The problem is when I use VRAM hard like high quality gamig or stress test GPU VRAM degree goes up to 110 degrees. GPU and CPU degrees are generally normal around 75-85 degrees under load. I didn't use a cooling pad , I tested it while it was plugged in and in performance mode.

I can return it in 6 days so I'm not really sure about how should I proceed. Is this degrees are normal ? Can I continue to use it like this for couple of years ?

My notebook model is LOQ 15APH8 - 82XT.

Thank you in advance.

So when you researched VRAM temps, what did you learn?

Everything I've read suggests VRAM can get hot, and 110C may not be an issue. You didn't bother to post your specs and if you're too lazy to do that I'm too lazy to look up random laptop models.

So what about your hardware makes you think the VRAM needs to run cooler? Or should run cooler? What's the manufacturer of the hardware say? Before you do something you should see about answering at least some of those questions. Otherwise you may end up returning a dozen laptops under the wackadoo belief they all have defective VRAM or something.

Generally when you use programs to stress test the GPU they push the GPU to max. Also the more fps you have the more heat it is gonna produce. Look in to limiting the FPS and you should see less heat. Have heard of Vram being up in 110degree but I wouldn't want it to go that far.

Laptops aren't known for being low heat when in use or gaming. So look in to limiting fps.

Laptops aren't this bad at cooling though. This is abnormal temperature on the vrams.

I think I shared enough of my spec with my cpu , gpu and notebook model to determine build quality. Question is clear and you got it right I'm asking that is it normal to see 110 degrees in VRAM and is it OK in the long run thank you for your answer though.

Yeah my main point was reaching out to max TDP of my gpu which was 115W. GPU was 80 and CPU was 90-95 degrees during that period. However VRAM reached out to 110 so my question is would it be any problem in the long run

So you think that 110 degree VRAM could cause problems in the long run right ? I'm not sure that should i return it due to that.

Laptop manufacturers are why I don't bother with gaming laptops anymore, they're more concerned with the chassis being slim and light than the actual hardware inside

You either get a bulky and heavy laptop with mediocre cooling that isn't very comfortable or you get a slim laptop with garbage cooling, take your pick

You're supposed to use the balanced profile. But everyone likes to use the wrong settings with their PC. Maybe it's because these settings are misleading.

The performance setting doesn't offer more performance. It offers 'consistent' performance, which will prove to be lame in gaming because it will interfere with boosting characteristics. These circumstances become worse with mobile hardware.

My latest experince with laptops was with gtx 950m which it was okay gpu once it was reaching 98 degrees with in seconds. And i use it at that state everyday over 6 years. At the end of first year its paint started to decay. Then some keyboard keys started to broke. It was called shadow keyboard or something it was totaly fine out side but it wasn't working. And the case becomed bendable.
After second year some screws wasn't holding anymore and batery died . After 3 year its screen started to die. There was alot of flickering from the bottom when i first open and it covered the whole screen till i restart. Odly restarting was fixing this issue. And my ssd died. After 5 years it was impossible to use any wireless device because connection was constantly losing for no reason.
And after 6 years it was painfull to acualy use. It was freezing constantly specialy when there is a disk usage. I try my best to make him in a good shape then i sell it.

Im using a desktop for 3 years now im happy. I have no performance issue. I still have some temp issue's with my gpu but its a very demanding gpu + im living a very hot city. And i dont need to buy a whole new pc just to upgrade.

Seperate coolers usualy useless speacaly fans you put under it. I was using vacoomed cooler it wasn't acualy droping the temps but it was improving the performance for me.So if you have a hope coolers might help dont bother.

My finaly toghts on this matter laptop's aren't suitable for gaming. No matter what brand's says that plastic case will crumble and decay with in time because of the temps. And at some point it will become unusable.

If you dont nessesarly need a laptop i would say get a refund. If not it totaly up to you to decide

Video card ram is rated up to 125c. 110c is perfectly within normal specifications and nothing to be worried about. If the laptop continues to function and does not shut off when playing demanding games then you are perfectly fine and do not worry.

The only time you worry is if the laptop is actually completely shutting off when you play games. If it does that then return it as defective. If it plays games fine without shutting off then no worries and everything is fine.

Thanks for your reply. I couldn't see any ratings during my search about normal VRAM temp though. Can you share any source ?

Thanks for your answer. I need to be mobile so I got no other choice. I'd prefer desktop if I didn't have to be mobile.

That was the question I'm asking thanks for your related answer.

I don't have any issues with a heavy laptop mine is not that light as well. It has a good cooling actually yet VRAM gets hotter than rest of the components.
