  • Hi Guys,

    So ive been wondering if my CPU are in danger because of the temperature’s while Gaming games like Apex legend’s.
    Idle temp is around 39-42 celcius and while gaming it hit around 70-95 celcius!

  • Hey so I tried everything and even changed my cooling paste and I still get 90 degrees celsius even when it’s idle :((

  • I would not recommend method 11. I had set out to try and lower my cpu temps and I have ended up with my SSD being formatted and I’ve been bluescreened by windows after trying for several hours to get my pc to start up again after adjusting settings based off of method 11. This might work for some, but if your temperatures are above 70, don’t do this.

  • Lowering CPU usage worked with me too. 15 degrees Celsius down. My laptop shut down permanently because of the too high temperature. Now it doesn’t anymore; however it’s a bit slower. The core problem is for sure not in CPU usage; lowering it solves the problem on the spot, but not the cause. I think, I have to open my laptop and to clean it from the dust. Additionally, I have put some plastic corks below, to ease the air circulation and ordered a cooling pad. Afterwards I will try to set the CPU usage back to 100%. Thank you Juzel!

  • About Method 11: Is it safe to play games using 80% of CPU Power ?

    The whole Fatal Error part got me uneasy;

  • Actually your wrong a cpu can go above 80 degrees c and is suggested by Intel, the Intel core i7 9750H actually can go upto 100 degrees C without damaging the cpu, may want to updated your suggestions, most high end gaming laptops operate high demanding games from 70-90 degrees c.

  • Thank you for the advice! While I didn’t need to download your program as my motherboard comes standard with fan management software, your advice on lowering cpu power usage worked like a charm! Just as you said, lowering it to 80 dropped my core temp by a whopping 15 degrees Celsius! An addition point of advice though: sometimes, your minimum settings may be set to 100% as well so you’ll also need to change those to 80%! 🙂

  • The GPU on a laptop is often the component that generates the most heat. Also known as the Graphics Processing Unit, or graphics card, it can easily be become very hot if you are working on graphics-intensive projects, like photo or video editing. Manufacturers may put the maximum temperature on the specifications sheet for your GPU, but this isn't always the case. Generally, the maximum GPU temperature can range from about 94 to 105 degrees Celsius, or 201 to 221 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Laptops, like all electronic devices, are not designed to be used at extreme temperatures. LCD, or Liquid Crystal Display, screens can freeze if they are left in extreme cold temperatures. Generally, the safe temperature range to use a laptop is in temperatures between 50 to 95 degrees F, or 10 to 35 degrees C.

    If the graphics card temperature in your laptop gets too hot, it will normally reduce its power usage on its own until the temperature goes down. If this isn't enough to reduce the heat quickly enough, the laptop itself will shut down and you won't be able to turn it on again until the internal temperature has reached a safe level.

    You should never leave a laptop in extreme hot or cold temperatures for long periods of time. For example, if you leave it in the trunk of your car overnight in extreme cold, you could find that the frozen laptop has been permanently damaged and all of your data lost.

    If your laptop has been in extreme temperatures, let it return to room temperature before turning it on. Don't try to warm up a cold laptop with a blow dryer or a heating pad. Similarly, don't try to cool down a hot laptop with an ice pack or by putting it in a fridge. A sudden change in temperature can be just as damaging as an extreme temperature.

    Good air circulation is vital for keeping your laptop, or any other electronic device, operating effectively. Because desktop computers are larger, there is more air flow available than in a laptop and they can have more fans and heatsinks installed inside. Laptops don't have the room for these components or as much airflow. Additionally, the batteries that power a laptop generate a great deal of heat, putting even more strain on the device's cooling system.

    To keep your laptop as cool as possible, it's important that the vents are clear of any obstructions while you're using it. Additionally, the case itself should be exposed to air. You should never us a laptop when its surface is covered, like when it's still in a case or laptop bag, for example.

    Placing the laptop on a soft surface, like a bed, cushion, or your lap, can interfere with heat dissipation. Even placing a laptop too close to another heat-generating device, like a printer, can cause your laptop to overheat.

    If you regularly use a laptop in a warm environment, you may want to consider buying a cooling stand, which will increase the airflow around the case. Some stands include fans in their design to accelerate heat dissipation.

    Even a thin layer of dust can cause cooling problems. If your laptop is hot to the touch, ensure the vents and fans are clean of dust. Usually, a can of clean compressed air blown into the vents and across the fans is enough to clean the dust.

    If none of these solutions help to bring the temperature of your laptop down, then you should contact the manufacturer or retailer where you bought it. If your laptop is out of warranty, you should get a technician to look at it.

    Hey guys! So, I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop. It has an Intel Core i5-3230m and an AMD Radeon HD 7670M 2GB. It's summer here and temperatures are getting pretty hot... my room temperature is around 26-30 degrees Celsius. And I notice my laptop getting a bit hotter, but a bit more than expected (I suppose). CPU on idle runs at 58-60 degrees, under full load, 68-70 degrees. After 3-4 hours of use, idle goes up to 65-68, and full load up to 77-78. When playing games, it can get as high as 95 degrees. Highest I got was 98 degrees. The graphics card is around 57-58 degrees on idle after the 3-4 hours of use, forgot to check before those 3 hours. When gaming, it can go up to 80 degrees. I am using RealTemp and HWMonitor to check the temps. These temps are for Power Saver mode. When Gaming, I put my computer in High Performance. If I put it in High Performance when not gaming, temps can go up 5 to 10 degrees. My laptop is gonna complete 2 years on August 31st 2015. And that's when the warranty ends.

    I am using a stand like this one, so the air flows quite well: http

    Are those temps normal, because it's summer and ambient temperature is high? Didn't had these issues before summer started... CPU used to be around 45-48 degrees when idle, and 60-65 under full load before summer. 75-80 when gaming, could get to 85 degrees in long gaming sessions. I tried cleaning the fan through the holes with a compressor (very carefully, short bursts, etc etc so I wouldn't damage it). Almost no dust came out of it. I haven't opened the laptop yet because it will void warranty if I do so. Since the warranty hasn't ended yet, should I take it to the store where I bought the laptop and see if they can fix it?

    If you need any more info, let me know. Thanks in advance.

    Then most likely then it is the ambient temps as 44 - 50 is hot for idle. Gaming is understandable but still on the high side. I would get a cooling pad to cool down the laptop. Also something that I have learned that may help you is to remove the battery as this can increase the temps by 5 - 15 degrees in my experience. This assumes that the battery is removeable.

    The temps are way too high. You will need to cool down the laptop as 98 is approaching critical. Anything above 90 for laptops is considered bad. Try and keep it between 60 - 80 if it is possible.

    They only get above 90 in long gaming sessions. First 2 hours it doesn't go above 88 degrees, after that it can go as high as 98 in rare instances. As I said, I only started having these problems when summer started and the ambient temperature went up considerably. The other day, the room temperature was 22-25, it was a colder day than usual, and the PC was idling at 53-55 degrees Celsius. I gamed a bit and it went up to 84 max. And that was playing Witcher 2, which is the most CPU and GPU intensive game that I have for my laptop. With this said, I am more convinced that it is the ambient temperature causing this more than anything, but I may be wrong. Today the ambient temperature is pretty high again. My room temperature is at 30 degrees celsius. But the laptop seems better today, it has been on for 5 hours and it's still idling at 60-62 degrees, it's not going up to 68 idle after 3 hours of use like the other days. Thanks for the answer velo!!

    I considered getting a cooling pad, but it's probably not worth it... what do you guys think?

    Turns out it was an AVG issue... it was putting too much load on the CPU (for some reason, it didn't show up in the Task Manager). Today it updated and it no longers loads the CPU as much as before. Now I'm idling at 44-50 degrees and when gaming it only goes up to 75-80 max.

    Then most likely then it is the ambient temps as 44 - 50 is hot for idle. Gaming is understandable but still on the high side. I would get a cooling pad to cool down the laptop. Also something that I have learned that may help you is to remove the battery as this can increase the temps by 5 - 15 degrees in my experience. This assumes that the battery is removeable.

    Thanks for the tip about the battery! Didn't knew that.

    I just ordered a cooling pad today

    Is 45 degrees Celsius hot for laptop?

    Just posting this here so people know how effective the cooling pad that I bought is on my laptop. I acquired a DeepCool X6 Multi Core. 22 euros, 121.4 CFM, 2 big fans + 2 small fans. The big ones have 1000 RPM and the small ones 1300 RPM. After using the cooling pad, the computer idles at 45 degrees Celsius max (as opposed to 50 degrees before using the cooling pad). Minimum idle temp now is 42 degrees celsius. While browsing the web, it goes up to 52 degrees max, it could go up to 58 before putting the cooling pad. As for gaming, it stays on the 65-73 degrees range. It can go up to 80 degrees, but only on loading screens for example. Not a huge difference, but it's better than nothing. The biggest difference was on the HDD temps. Since the two small fans cover the HDD area of my laptop, the temps of the HDD went down from 42 to 34. GPU also stays 3-5 degrees cooler than before.

    The only complaint I have about this product is that the panel where the laptop rests isn't all connected. If you see some pics of it you will understand. As such, some areas of the laptop aren't cooled because there is no air flowing there.
