I have a question about cpu and gpu temperatures

[Mxrkes]

Hello!

A few months ago i bought an "OMEN by HP – 17-an021no" laptop and i am getting really high temperatures while playing games. When i am on the internet or writing documents etc the cpu and gpu temp stays at around 50-57 degrees celsius but playing games my gpu is around 60-70 degrees (sometimes a little higher than 70) and my cpu temp is around 80-85 degrees.  

Are these temps safe to have while playing for a few hours?  and what can i do if it's not? and can these temperatures cause performance issues?

My specs are:

Processor

Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ (2,8 GHz basfrekvens, upp till 3,8 GHz med Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, 6 MB cache, 4 kärnor)

RAM

8 GB DDR4-2400 SDRAM (1 x 8 GB)

Graphicscard

NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1070 (8 GB dedikerat GDDR5)

Harddrive

• 1 TB 7200 rpm SATA
• 256 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD

Would really appriciate if someone could help me!

Thanks 🙂

Welcome to HP Forums. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.

I have gone through your Post and I understand your concerns

70 degrees while playing high end games is quiet normal and just regular browsing with average 55 degrees is well within the acceptable temperature range

Do you feel that the HP Omen is overheating? If you feel it's overheating, please update the BIOS from this Link: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers

If the computer starts overheating alot then it will cause performance issues

Keep me posted if you need further assistance

Thank you and have a great day 😊

Hi!

Thanks for your reply! What i am most concerned about is the cpu temperature wich can sometimes go above 85 degrees! 

is that still ok?

Thanks

@Mxrkes

80 to 85 degrees while playing high end games is still OK as long as it's not causing any performance issue.

But try downloading the BIOS and check if that helps with the temperature

Thank you

Hi again!

The temperatures are reaching above 60C for the cpu and above 50 for gpu on idle!! Is that normal?

and gaming the cpu is nearly always above 85!

Thanks!
