Is My Laptop Too Hot ?

[Bravo Phantom]

Idk but I just noticed my laptop is 10 degree below water boiling point. Damn... is this fine, or something wrong ?

- Cooling System: A Software called "Intel CoolSense" is installed in laptop. And I have a cooling stand (which has 2 Large Fans and connects via a USB cable to laptop for power)

- Gaming (All Games on low or high settings regardless; usually on high settings and 60 fps): Around 90 Degrees

You may want to consider reducing the graphics quality, resolution and even consider an FPS cap if the software with fans set to high still can't keep it cool along with a cooling stand.

As I mentioned, even on low-medium settings, the temperature is the same. Its like when I turn on a game, the GPU rises straight upto a fix temp. And it doesn't go beyond 90 (around 90).

I always cap my FPS in games to 60 (except ONLY counter strike 2). Should I open the laptop myself to check if there is dust or not, but I'm 99% sure it is clean and all component are like new; as I just took it for cleaning last month :<

how many fans do you have? the problem however seem to be software based. the fact that the heat rises independent of load suggests that some kind of software make it go to that temprature.

Maximum operating temperature is 97°C according to NVIDIA. If you are getting 90s at low load then you should clean out your vents to make sure there is good airflow, otherwise your GPU will throttle to protect itself from damage.

2 Fans in total (+ a cooling pad with 2 fans as well).

I never used any external software to adjust any hardware specific settings, like MSI Afterburner, etc. Only thing I have is Intel's default Fan Control Software called "Intel CoolSense", which speeds up the fans when the usage becomes high. (I can literally hear fan's sound from close, when it starts to speed up)

[andreasaspenberg575]

i suggest trying to uninstall HP coolsense. see if that helps.

i do not know what to answer.

Constant - Something happens again and again; Something is fixed and doesn't change.

Because processors come with many cores and just use a base clock, while the applications we load have different requirements, in this case the i7 8750H has 6 cores, but some programs use only one core and others use more than one core, so turbo boost technology allows you to have the best of both worlds. The best single core and the best multi core you can get from the processor. Now you are saying it is thermal throttling. Well in this case adjustments must be made to the ratios the processor is set to use.

Check your laptop's internal fan ducts for dust, smoke, cat hair, etc. All those things will obstruct cooling.

Hahaha... brother you should read from the start of this discussion. I mentioned early that my table is in a very clean position, and laptop is free from almost all dust; as its almost only a month before I took it to servicing :)

Perhaps it just runs hot before ramping up the fans then. Could also be that CoolSense app trying to keep noise levels down.

As a side note, if you get a message that your computer is not compatible with Windows 11 but you want to upgrade, check your BIOS for Intel Platform Trust Technology or PTT.

If the laptop keeps it fixed at 90°C, then it itself keeps running in a safe range. If you want to try to fix it or keep the temperatures lower most of the time, you can go ahead with reducing the voltage.

That is the first point that seems like a valid point

90c under constant or heavy load on a laptop GPU is normal. All the rest of most of the past two pages has been FUD, fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

Your temps are fine.

[andreasaspenberg575]

they are not fine, because they are so high that it causes constant thermal throttling. if you intend to get optimal performance, you need to solve this. try to uninstall HP coolsense, it could cause issues. though you could try to use task manager to kill it too, before you uninstall it.

That suggests either you have a larger problem, or the software isn't making the fans go faster as the load increases.
