The problem stems from pairing the CPU with insufficient laptop cooling. A cooler laptop should handle the workload more efficiently. The main bottleneck appears to be heat, affecting performance mainly in certain games like Horizon and Tarkov. It doesn’t seem to impact all titles equally. Edited September 13, 2022 by Bombastinator
Hello again everyone, do you think it’s feasible to adjust the turbo boost to reach a higher frequency without triggering excessive noise? This would let me test different settings until I discover an optimal balance. It feels frustrating having to run at 2.6GHz when the system can go up to 5GHz. Here are the current power plan configurations; I don’t have access to a dedicated CPU utility or console, so I assume adjustments are made via the Power Plan interface. I’m only using the "Intel Graphics Command Center" on my machine.
The issue stems from higher heat output which generates more warmth, and the equipment struggles to dissipate it effectively. This often leads laptops to reach temperatures around 100°C. Efficiency improves with a smaller temperature gap between the processor and surroundings. Sometimes laptops simply need to operate hot. The challenge with laptops is their use of specialized components that limit longevity—typically around 5 to 6 years. Even at 95°C, functionality drops significantly, making them less durable compared to alternatives. If a laptop lasts only about seven years, it still outperforms most other devices. By nature, laptops become e-waste quickly once they reach obsolescence. Edited September 13, 2022 by Bombastinator
You can access it from another location if you configure it properly, keeping it connected.
It would be quite troublesome and I already got rid of it. It came with a 1080 and a Ryzen 5 2600. R I P
Fair point. There’s nothing nearby to connect with at first. It might be a thin client linked to a gaming service—probably too pricey. Rust is full of people struggling financially, which isn’t surprising. I never picked it up; the hype and streaming kept me hooked, often watching six hours or more. Even the nice players seem to have an edge. I’ve put it in “games that taint my soul” and try to ignore it as much as possible.
I removed it, but it still takes a long time. With my full-time job, it’s not practical to play with friends after work. I’ve been using it since the early days, and honestly, it was more enjoyable back when there were many bugs and lower-quality graphics—maybe just nostalgia.
