Hi. Your laptop features an i5 9300h, GTX 1650, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB NVMe M.2 drive. As a HP Pavilion gaming PC, you can anticipate significant thermal performance. Prior to undervolting, temperatures would spike to 98°C within 8-10 minutes during gaming. I've experimented with undervolting down to -0.145V, but gaming consistently crashed. I then adjusted to -0.125V, which aligns with the recommended settings for most CPUs. For a week, temperatures stayed below 90°C without issues. However, I'm unsure if thermal paste changes made a difference. PS: I've played CPU-heavy titles like PES 2021 and Minecraft at high settings with SEUS Very High Shaders. Considering the current summer heat in your area, I'm hoping for a solution soon. Thank You Smile

If the surrounding temperature rises by 10 degrees Celsius, your processor will also heat up by about the same amount. The best you can do is tidy up the laptop, make sure dust isn’t blocking the fans and heatsinks, and consider getting a cooling pad to place under it.

You can't just adjust the thermal setup with a small voltage drop. Lower your Turbo boost capacity until the CPU isn't throttling—likely starting below 25w should work. Most laptops use the same cooling method for CPU and GPU, which can become too much when paired with a powerful GPU workload.

They can refill the thermal paste, but other options are limited.

Consider adding a fan desk accessory to enhance airflow. It helps dissipate heat not only from the official cooling system but also from the laptop itself, improving overall cooling performance.

It’s necessary to compromise on clock speed to achieve lower temperatures, as undervolting alone isn’t sufficient. Consider using tools like ThrottleStop to modify your CPU’s turbo multiplier. Begin with a 500MHz reduction and adjust from there. You might also swap your CPU and GPU, which can significantly impact performance. Remove all fans and vents while working, since dust and hair often obstruct your exhaust system.

When your CPU approaches its thermal threshold, it doesn't matter. The notebook is built to keep the CPU at around 95°C. Your CPU should be okay. However, the GPU needs to stay below about 85°C. Keep things cool—it's just a poor design choice. For lower temperatures, consider liquid metal, but be aware it might damage cooling parts if used on bare copper or aluminum. To avoid shorts, secure the SMD around your CPU with nail polish.
