CPU stays at 97°C despite repairs and voltage adjustments! :('
Hello everyone, my cousin gave me his laptop for my birthday. I installed some games and started playing, but it's heating up a lot and making the system slow down. (http://prntscr.com/rkqisf) I attempted to paste the image, lower the CPU and GPU voltages, updated the BIOS and cleaned the fans, but nothing changed even at 3.5Ghz. My machine is an I7 8750H, which tends to get very hot—most tutorials claim it can be cooled by about 8-9°C. It's a bit of an Omen 15 chassis. The GPU is a 1070 Max Q, and I might have messed up the undervolting settings, so I'll share the curve link. I ordered some liquid metal to test, but I'm not sure it will help much. I'd appreciate any suggestions if you're willing to assist me with fixing it. Thanks for your time!
temperatures during idle are usually high, especially with such a setup. Trying to cool it down with just undervolting won't solve the issue. The best options might be removing the case and placing it in a ventilated stand or switching to a less dense build. Alternatively, consider moving to a desktop with a better cooling solution like an NH12 fan.
Do you mean the usual temperatures remain typical while the processor operates at 3Ghz, which is quite low?
use quotes when answering, so ppl get a notification. the problem is not the cpu or the powerdelivery, it is the anemic cooler that is supposed to diccipate 45 watts f heat with probably two long heatpipes and a heatsink the size of three potatochips, and the fan is a practical joke. according to intel the 8750h has a T junction of 100°C. This is the maximum temp the chip can run at before it will shut off to prevent damage. So when your chip is pegged at 95° or smth it is trying its hardest not to blow up, the temp curve is set very aggresive but hp probably thinks it will last at least until their warranty is over. This is a typical problem of modern laptop manufacturers trying to tick all the boxes and chasing the specsheet. Apple did it aswell. Everyone just wants more cores aand higher clocks in their laptops without stopping to think if they can actually cool the darn thing.
Thanks for the details, I’ll give it a shot. If it doesn’t work, I’ll consider selling that thing. Have a great day!
Consider selling it before you start working on it with a Dremel. 😄
