Even when voltage is reduced, overheating persists.
Even when voltage is reduced, overheating persists.
Hello, I'm using an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-52 with an Intel i5 8300h. When running games while connected, the CPU temperature often exceeds 90°C. I've tried undervolting with an offset of -0.175, but the max temperature still reaches 86°C. I'm looking for ways to improve stability and extend battery life. Any advice?
The temperatures mentioned are typical for that laptop model. Consider applying premium thermal paste if possible, though the situation is limited.
This will greatly slow down the system. You might need to re-paste content and clear dust, though otherwise it should work fine.
I mean, it's not throttling, and 86C is safe. Sure it's not ideal out of context, but this is a laptop we're talking about, so it's not that bad.
