Laptop temps issue

10-04-2016, 04:12 PM

Laptop temperatures appear unusual. They rise about 15 degrees during turbo mode. Isn't turbo meant to boost fan speed for better cooling? Let me know if you're mistaken. A video is attached for reference. (i7 10750H, 1660Ti, Far Cry 3). The temps hit around 95°C in turbo (with maximum fans) and stay in the high 70s when silent (lower fan speed).

I think this makes sense. Turbo mode is meant to boost the CPU clock speed, leading to higher temperatures and better performance. Silent mode, by name, aims to maintain low fan speeds, which requires reducing the clock speed to lower temperatures. I believe this clarifies how they work.

It varies by model. This appears to be an Asus laptop, known for its powerful turbo settings that push performance to the limit. The cooling system responds by increasing fan speeds to maintain high output. Running at maximum capacity can cause increased heat generation.

No, there is no method to boost fan speed while maintaining low clock speeds.

For fan settings, open the manual section and adjust RPM to your needs. For clock speeds, apply ThrottleStop and utilize GPU clocking tools such as MSI Afterburner to modify the clock ratio and cap the speed.

It seems the device is running warm, but not dangerously hot. Check for dust buildup or performance strain to ensure it stays cool.

No problem at all. Those numbers are normal for what you're seeing. It's just that the device is getting warm. Are those temperatures okay for your use case?

Maintain standard temperatures for an Intel laptop. To reduce power use, adjust Windows power settings so the CPU runs at a limited percentage, or lower the voltage.
