I received a fresh laptop, but its CPU temperature keeps spiking to over 95°C during games like Warframe. I’m curious if this is typical and looking for possible solutions.
It's typical behavior. Laptops have limited cooling options, so to achieve higher performance they operate at the maximum temperatures possible. If you wish to alter this without sacrificing speed, consider cooling upgrades, though many are not easy to install regularly.
It will limit performance. Though the common belief is it shortens device life by running components at higher temps, real-world use doesn't show massive failures like thousands of MacBooks dying. So it probably isn't a major concern.
Changing the thermal paste to a higher-quality version might help lower temperatures. There are several good options available; some highly recommended include Arctic Silver, Thermaltake Premium, and Cooler Master Hyper. Let me know if you'd like more details!
Performed a Google search for cooling mods for the M15 and reviewed the results for temperature comparisons.
