CPU overheating problem on laptop
CPU overheating problem on laptop
Hi
I’m experiencing an overheating issue with my laptop.
HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-ec1xxx
Ryzen 5-4600H
gtx 1650-ti
When the GPU is at 100%, the temperature stays between 50 and 55 degrees, but when CPU usage reaches 50%, the temperature rises to 95 to 105 degrees.
Here are some examples:
cs go: in low resolution, fps around 300 but CPU temp 90–100
Rainbow 6: in low resolution, fps about 120 but CPU temp 100–115
I tried replacing the thermal paste a few days ago, but the problem persists.
Could you check if spilling tea on the keyboard a while back might be causing the issue?
Sorry for my unclear English
😀
Thanks.
I think it's still early to say Windows is the issue and that a "format" or a reinstall would help. The problem hasn't been clearly identified yet. Look at the CPU and GPU overview: https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/tech-takes...-pc-gaming. You can also check other relevant links. Then review the installed GPU information: https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDI...Mo...628.0.html and https://laptopmedia.com/comparisons...-g...gnificant/.
Your English is acceptable.
If temperature issues arose or emerged shortly after the tea spin, the spill might have contributed to the problem.
Excellent that you’re monitoring GPU and CPU percentages along with temperatures.
Go a bit further by using Task Manager and Resource Monitor to identify which processes, services, and applications are consuming those percentages.
The goal is to find out which running apps—whether foreground or background—are responsible for increasing temperatures or causing fluctuations.
I think you might have some corrupted or faulty files.
Make sure all drivers are current. Even if they are, try reinstalling them by downloading the drivers directly from the manufacturer’s official website and then reinstalling and adjusting settings.
Remove the games temporarily. Check if the laptop cools down. Then reinstall games one at a time. Wait a day or so between installations to confirm temperatures stabilize.
You should be looking for a specific app or installed software that triggers the issue or alters its behavior.
Thank you for your reply.
I’m not sure if temperature issues began after the tea spill, since I spilled it two days after buying the laptop.
Of course, I’m regularly checking Task Manager—everything is using a low percentage.
When I play the game, only one app uses high percentages, which isn’t a problem.
All drivers are up-to-date, and I installed them from HP Support assistant.
Do you think there’s an issue with Windows, and would formatting fix it?
I think it's still early to say Windows is the issue and that a "format" (actually I believe you mean a Windows reinstall) would fix the problem.
This is especially true since the exact cause hasn't been determined yet.
First, take a look at the overall CPU and GPU situation:

You can find similar resources easily.
Next, check the installed GPU:

In summary, many factors are at play—not just the CPU.
I plan to shift this discussion from CPU to PC Gaming.
Achieving a good balance between performance and temperatures requires a wider perspective. Possible answers are more likely to come from the gaming community.
