OMEN 30L Desktop GT13-0000i (236B0AV)
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'm using this computer to render 3D and AI programs. When using it normally, temperatures are around 48-65% which is fine.
But using 3D or AI software, all cores go up regularly to 92-100C° (for a second or two), every frame rendering. One time, I even had to put the computer into sleep mode as it got really too hot.
I changed the Maximum processor state to 90% but I still get readings up to 96% so that is obviously not having a huge impact. I've read that the cores shouldn't go higher than 85C°, so I'm really worried.
I noticed that standard the Minimum processor state is set to 100%. Do I need to change that as well?

As you can see, the max column shows high values. 
PS: I have the GT13-0695nd model, not GT13-00001 as the website wrongly indicates.

This is a little slower than waking up from sleep but it seems to work fine.
Question is, if I do that as often as I put the computer to sleep, is that damaging in the long run? 
If not, then I will copy this message in the thread about not waking up from sleep mode bcs a lot of people struggle with this.
What do you think?


Answer: No it will not damage anything. Everything is fine !

( It would be the same to ask if you can turn off a car to put it in a garage instead of driving it non-stop. It will not damage the car ... )

 

Good luck

I installed everything and then did a test with Maximum processor state 100%. Using an AI application, during the first 3 minutes, I had readings like 75-78C° per core which gave me high readings:

raboo_0-1659436346113.png

Then I tried reducing the Mex processor state to 99%. Using an AI application, during the first 3 minutes, I had readings like 73-76C° per core, after that it begins to climb. After 7 minutes, I had 3 cores going to 84C° I do hear the fans at that point like a light wind. After 17 minutes I got these readings:

High peaks are definitely less frequent now. No red alerts so far. I do notice that when I open a browser when the AI keps working, it peeks quite strongly but only for a few seconds.
After closing the AI app, I render a 3D animation in Blender that makes the readings shoot through the roof almost instantly.

raboo_2-1659438114346.png

I had to stop the rendering.
Now a test reducing Maximum processor state to 90%,same alarming reading immediately:

raboo_3-1659438453339.png
Clearly still a problem somewhere. Any advice how to fix that? Should I lower Minium Processor state also? If so, how much?
It's a rather simple animation with 4 glass balls and a video projection. Thanks for helping me, by the way.:)

Hello @raboo 

 

What CPU cooler/fan do you use ?

HP Recommended

I don't know, there is a big fan above the CPU, which is water cooled. In total there are 5 fans inside, 2 are from the NVDIA card.
I also use a big external fan but that doesn't seem to do much except blowing away the hot air above the computer.

Hello @raboo 

 

Did you install some fans yourself ? With fans it is very important if they (1) pull warm air out of the tower or (2) blow cool air into the tower. Often mistakes happen during installation and this causes a heat buildup.

HP Recommended

The computer was installed by HP. I didn't touch anything myself.  But in the meantime, I found out that in Blender, for Cuda, the CPU was also ticked on instead of only NVIDIA. So, I turned that off and now it takes a little longer before I get higher readings. Still not 100% OK, but we are closer.:-)
I'll do some more testing and publishing my findings here. 
In any case, the installation of the drivers did help with the AI apps.
Thank you very much for your time!

You're welcome

We will stay in contact, should an even better solution be found we will exchange ideas.
