New laptop CPU overheating issue?
New laptop CPU overheating issue?
Hi everyone, I've tested four different laptops this month: 1. Asus TUF with Intel Core i7 12650H Alder Lake 2. HP Victus with AMD Ryzen 5 5600H 3. Lenovo Legion Pro 5 with Intel Core i9 13900HX Raptor Lake 4. Asus Vivobook with AMD Ryzen 7 7730U Each one performed similarly. The fans were extremely loud, even when I was just opening a few tabs in Firefox. Monitoring showed CPU temperatures consistently above 90°C. When I was installing Hogwarts Legacy on the Lenovo laptop: The same model while playing at the lowest graphics settings (without using a cooling pad): Referring to this guide: It says a good temperature is under or around 50°C when idle, and ideally under 80°C when under load. I’m not sure if these guidelines are correct, but my readings were much higher. My previous laptop (Acer with Intel Core i7 4702MQ) started acting this way about a year ago and then declined quickly. Now it barely runs older games. I know cooling pads are usually needed for gaming, but surely they’re unnecessary for everyday tasks? It would be difficult to carry a cooling pad daily to university lectures (or have my laptop making such loud noises during them). So what’s happening here? Did I pick the wrong laptop four times in a row? Are all laptops overheating now and can’t last more than two to three years under normal use? Or am I misinterpreting the data and these fans are actually fine?
