Overheating

[DUUK]

Hey. I bought an Omen 15t with and i7 and GTX 1060. I recently noticed that the CPU is consistently reaching 97 degrees Celsius in game, whilst the GPU is fine. This concerned me so I went on HP support and they told me that this CPU temperature was fine  and that the Omen was designed to withstand temps up to 97 degrees, even though I was under the impression that a CPU should not really go above 85 degrees. Is this CPU temperature a problem? Should my laptop be replaced? I have about a month of warranty left. Thank you.

@DUUK Welcome to HP Community!

Click here for steps to resolve overheating issues, you could try reducing the resolution on the in-game settings and switch the windows settings to performance rather than visual effects to make a minor change, however, the game may heat up your PC, hence make sure you are using a cooling pad as well, to be on a safer side.

Here's how you change windows settings:

• Go to Start Menu > click on Settings.
• Type performance > choose to Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows.
• In the new window, go to the Visual Effects and select Adjust for best performance.
• click Apply and Ok...this should do the trick.

I must let you know that its normal for a gaming PC to heat up, and with an kind of CPU that goes with the Omen series there's nothing to worry about, for details on why you don't need to worry: 

Please to go through the CPU specifications, look under Tjunction of the CPU, as it usually supports up to 100°C.
