Intel Power Gadget displays Proc Hot at 40 degrees
Hello everyone. My laptop uses an Intel 6300HQ, and occasionally it shuts down while gaming. While loading Witcher 3 I saw the Intel Power Gadget show PROC HOT, but the ROG center displayed around 40°C. Anyone have any ideas? I've attached some pictures for reference. I'm also doing a sensor test right now. During that test, the Power Gadget lit up with PROC HOT when temperature dropped to 40°C during the Small Prime 95 benchmark, but disappeared when it reached 60-70°C.
It seems your laptop might be experiencing issues during startup, possibly due to overheating, software conflicts, or hardware problems. Check the power settings, ensure proper ventilation, and verify that all drivers are up to date. If the problem persists, try restarting the system or consulting manufacturer support.
It seems there might be an issue with the temperature sensor or the adapter you're using.
I know this is an old thread, but this has been effecting my Dell Precision 7720 with I7-7920HQ for the last two years. It's so bad that I had to buy a new laptop. Here's the new kicker. When I pull out my power cord, the "PROC HOT" disappears from Intel's Power Gadget. It always shows my temp as around 50C, it just reacts to being on AC power. I'm wondering if this is a: Intel driver issue. Dell Power Brick issue (it does communicate with the laptop) Windows Power mgmt issue. So here's my conspiracy theory: This started right after I refused to upgrade my laptop to Windows 11. Hmm, yah, coincidence? Of course..., maybe, #&$#)(%#)(# computer software. This laptop worked fine for 3 years. It still kicks-a$$ when it's running at 100% CPU. Something, somewhere, in the driver chain is fubar. Anyone have any experience with the power management in windows 10?
