CPU Overheating
CPU Overheating
Hello! Your setup includes a Dell G5 5587 with an Intel i7 8750H and a Nvidia GeForce 1050Ti. You're experiencing high temperatures during intense gaming sessions, reaching nearly 90°C and then throttling. You have a cooling pad with six fans underneath, but it doesn’t seem to help much. You’re considering disassembling the machine for better cooling and are unsure about replacing your current laptop. Since you’re also using it as a desktop with a monitor and peripherals, you’re looking for advice on managing heat without taking it apart. I’ve heard mixed experiences with battery drain when gaming on a laptop—any suggestions?
It doesn't make much sense unless you already notice your RAM is nearly empty. You can use Task Manager to check usage during games. It's unlikely you'll need more than 8 gigabytes.
