Overheat

[YolTheDragon]

Hi
I've got a Victus laptop with r5 5600h and rtx 3060. 

When I play a game like cyberpunk 2077, CPU heats up to 101˚C. In some reviews I have watched was mentioned, that temperature does not exeec 70-80 ˚C

Is this normal temperatures in games?

@YolTheDragon,

(Gaming) laptops run usually hotter than desktops, but 100+ °C for any extended periods of time would be, well, undesirable.

Question: when was the last time you took your laptop apart and cleaned out your CPU heatsink?  Come to think of it, when was the last time you renewed your processor's (high-performance such as Grizzly Kryonaut!) thermal paste?

Also, what has helped me out on my laptop are external cooling aids like a laptop side- or back vent cooler like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098WCYMNV?pd_rd_i=B098WCYMNV&pd_rd_w=Fmh43&pf_rd_p=7672bfb7-93b0-4322-b74... and/or a laptop cooling pad like this one: https://www.amazon.com/TopMate-C11-Lighting-Compatible-Adjustable/dp/B08CZBH7FV/ref=zg_bs_1477084501....

Hope this was helpful.

Thank you for your reply, NonSequitur777

I got this laptop from a store so it was never dissassembled, it's new

In this review of similar laptop, but with r5 5800h CPU, mentioned, that top temperature is 90°C https://youtu.be/W18HaYdl3VM?t=592 (just an example)

On AMD website it said, that the max temperature is 105°C

So i don't understand, why temperature rises that much with my r5 5600h, almost to the max temp

@YolTheDragon,

If your gaming laptop is still under warranty, consider [the hassle of] opening a service ticket.  Regardless, I would get a side-vent cooling fan as suggested by me -it really would make a difference.

I openned a ticket as you suggested, but store service center said that that laptop works properly. I asked for a replacement of that laptop with the same but from stock.

New one does not heat that much

In AIDA64 stress test temperatures are about 85 ˚C, in Cyberpunk 2077 80-90 ˚C, mostly close to 80˚C

On the previous laptop it was 102˚C both in AIDA64 and CP (and other games like Control)

@YolTheDragon,

Excellent news!  -I would call that a very positive outcome, I'm happy for you!
