Hey, I understand you're just starting out. It's good that you're thinking about keeping your CPU cool. For your i9-12900HX, default settings might not be ideal for high performance. Checking your current temperatures and adjusting BIOS or fan speeds could help. Always test changes safely and avoid overloading the system.
Operating at 90C on laptops is typical, but if you see elevated temperatures and increased power draw without noticeable gains, you're likely approaching the limits of efficiency. You'll need numerous tests and tweaks to reach optimal performance.
I appreciate the feedback, so any changes are safe. I'm targeting 80°C since my laptop had a burning smell yesterday; I cleaned it up today and everything seems fine now. I'm hoping the new settings work well.
