Performance metrics for CPU and GPU.
Performance metrics for CPU and GPU.
Hello, your MSI sword 15 laptop i7-12650h with an RTX 4050 is running well, but the temperatures you mentioned seem high. CPU temps between 80–90°C during Valorant is unusual and could indicate overheating or poor cooling. GPU temps at 60–70°C are normal. Check your cooling system, ensure proper airflow, and consider cleaning dust from vents. If issues persist, consult MSI support or a technician.
It's not an issue, it's just a laptop with inadequate cooling (and it may become worse over time).
It varies based on the game, your refresh rate, and the volume level. One side tends to run hotter than the other. Your room temperature plays a big role too. Gaming laptops are designed for those who can't use a desktop, travel often, or want a portable gaming setup. You're balancing performance, audio, and heat for a compact experience. That's the trade-off.
