100°C CPU performance test on R15 with Dell Ryzen 7 4700U and Inspiron 15 5000
100°C CPU performance test on R15 with Dell Ryzen 7 4700U and Inspiron 15 5000
It's quite typical for this model given its size and performance specs. The reported idle temperatures around 50°C and high load temps in the mid-50s are common. It looks like the laptop might have subpar thermal paste and compact heatsinks. If you have the chance, sending it back would be wise. A better alternative could be a ROG G14 or similar, offering improved cooling without a drastic size change.
Thank you for the update. The software running the temperature check is "Core temp." After turning off turbo boost, the benchmark shows 95°C with a core speed of 3200 MHz. Will this affect your hardware? For a laptop around €800 with strong CPU performance, I recommend looking into mid-range options like the ASUS ROG Strix Zephyrus or the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon.
Using "hwinfo" shows the same core temperature readings. I've heard that Ryzen 7 4th generation CPUs are designed to run at 100°C safely. I'm wondering if lowering the temperature this way could affect my system's performance. From my tests, stress tests gave similar results, so it seems stable.
It might look a bit excessive, but it appears typical and shouldn<|pad|> to cause harm.
I'm using an HP ProBook 445 with the same Ryzen 7 4700U and encountered the same problem. I believe it's due to the Ryzen being quite demanding on workloads. Eventually, I resolved it by fine-tuning power profiles. In 'Windows Mobility enter' you have three power profiles. Tweak the advanced power settings for each as shown. Adjust Processor power management: Balanced Minimum processor state: On battery: 35% / Plugged in : 50% System cooling policy: On battery: Passive / Plugged in: Active Maximum processor state On battery: 65% / Plugged in : 80%. Activate Balanced mode from 'Windows Mobility enter'. This will restrict processor usage based on your settings. Similarly, modify the other two profiles and apply them as needed. This should work: Power saving – keep it under 40% or 50% as desired. High performance – set to full capacity for demanding tasks.
