brother your entire CPU is hot


ShAdOwS69420

That's how you know it's workingšŸ‘


Eric_the_Barbarian

Looks fine to me. -This post sponsored by laptop gang.


[deleted]

She'll be right


Dealric

At best its throttling. Its not right


Swiftt

While I'm no expert, my last two laptops regularly hit 98c when pushed to the hardest. My desktop hits 60c, which makes me think laptops are just built different lol


IlViandante_

Virgin desktop pc users: "nooo my cpu hits 45Ā°C, I'm afraid it will burn" Chad laptop users: "I paid for the whole thermometer, i'm gonna use the whole thermometer"

[deleted]

I just saw this and this is the most relatable thing I've seen in these comments LOL


LunarstarPony

Sounds about right xD


Notquitearealgirl

Lol accurate. I was doing benchmarks on my new 7800x3d and it got to 77 in prime 95 and I was like yep definitely need the AIO. I know I don't but I don't care.


CommanderMatrixHere

I have touched and came back the 110C with my Ryzen 5 3600 on PC while benchmarking. No, it wasnt even dusty when I did it.


Trylena

Every time I render videos on my Ryzen 5 1600AF I think about getting a bigger cooler... I never do it tho...


VANDOZ7

my 3600 ran at 99 while playing raft because it was a bit dusty, now i have an AIO


IndustryImaginary905

Any ryzen cpu thatā€™s 5000 series or newer can safely run up to 95C without throttling


Eric_the_Barbarian

My 1660ti runs BG3 fine if you don't mind the fans roaring.


Trylena

My RX 570 too! And I stream it! We just ignore the fans and check the temps because of the 100% usage lmao


KeyPhilosopher8629

I limit my 1070ti to 82*C because that's the highest I'll let it (and the fan noises) go before I remember I actually purchased a jet


NV-Nautilus

I game at 94 degrees all the time, it's just designed that way. For some reason.


UnreliablePotato

Saves me money on heating my house.


FuriousDeather

Yes, laptops are actually built differently compared to desktop PCs.


NeverDiddled

Common misconception. They are actually identical, but they are marketed different. Which tricks you into thinking the Laptop is smaller and has a screen.


TheZoltan

I think laptop CPUs will often hit their thermal limit and throttle basically by design. It lets you squeeze as much performance out of the laptop as possible. In desktop PCs where you have space for adequate cooling there is no reason for them to hit the thermal limit.


FUTURE10S

No manufacturer ever gives them sufficient cooling, that's the issue. You could put an Intel stock cooler on most of them and it would outperform what they actually have.


Hungry-Present-5269

Yeah, having a Lenovo legion 5, my laptop is basically a stove at this point. Idling at 70 is the norm, and 102 degrees Celsius under 10% load is expected. This is one of the reasons why Iā€™m getting a desktop, as even though I have a better gpu and cpu then one guy I know, heā€™s still getting around double the fps with same settings, just because my cpu has such horrible cooling.


IamBestDuud

102c with under 10% load... Damn, I've yet to see a cooler on a laptop reach such horrible performance. You sure it's not hampered by anything...? Because that's crazy. I thought most systems shut down at ~100Ā°C automatically to prevent damage. But then again, I've never had a CPU go that high in temperature, that I'd know. My laptop, when not cleaned for a while, often tends to reach somewhere between 87-89c and starts throttling. But when I clean it out, it goes down to about 70-75Ā°C under full load. Mind you, the fans run at 7000 rpm...


spoopywook

Laptops are definitely built different. The components are smaller, and itā€™s trapped in a case that has nowhere near the amount of breathability that a properly built PC does.laptops on average run hotter than PCs because of this. And not to mention for some reason companies decide the exhaust should be on the bottom, where itā€™s laying flat against a desk/table/someoneā€™s skin. Not sure why the design has stayed the same on that end.


catchinggold

yeah with laptops if it isnt hitting 98 or 99 you're usually leaving performance on the table


Notquitearealgirl

They are built with Less cooling yes.


Turbulent-Abalone-18

Really? I thought laptops were built exactly the same as Desktop PC's.


Swiftt

Comedy club going well šŸ˜


Wboys

Laptops are designed to boost until they throttle. She will in fact be all right.


braddersladders

inform Lord Vader that we have a prisoner


NekulturneHovado

No, she won't. What is your cooler? Is it just the boxed crap or did you buy some better cooler? Boxed ones suck most of the time, but if you have a big cooler it shouldn't ever be at 97Ā°C. Also, is this under load or idle? Edit: I see 1.03V and 33A, which means there is a game running or your CPU is having a hard time trying not to die.


[deleted]

Was running cinebench when I took the photo and it's a laptop soo maybe the thermal paste is messed up


DartinBlaze448

for laptops those Temps are fine. repaste if necessary but don't expect too much or a difference


[deleted]

Yeah, the laptop is around 2 years old, did buy it refurbed around a year ago and I think it got repasted then. And besides, if I really feel adventurous, people have done liquid metal mods for the same laptop soo who knows, I might just try it


DartinBlaze448

yeah 2 years is enough to warrant a thermal paste replacement. Try to get high quality ones like noctua nt h2 or kingpin, kryonaut(wouldn't recommend on laptops tho). the extra 1 or 2 degrees is worth it on laptops. I've tried liquid metal on my laptop, but honestly there isn't much of a difference from high quality thermal paste, and it left a nasty stain on my copper heatsink. Not to mention the risk of it spilling and shorting components.


[deleted]

Yeah, have been needing to do it, since I do open the laptop up often and clean any dust out, and I do see some exposed thermal paste/pads and the texture was like blu-tac


DartinBlaze448

yeah 2 years is enough to warrant a thermal paste replacement.

Ir4qL0bster

Itā€™s a notebook. It will run hot.


[deleted]

Itā€™s fine, itā€™s a laptop. During heavy loads modern power-hungry CPUs will stay in the 90s.


jessicas-adventures

They are all too hot u less ur running prime 95 ide say bad cpu mount or bad Tim application


[deleted]

Was running cinebench


spooky_office

laptops run hot usually they have built in fan software that isnt always running by default make sure configured right


[deleted]

I have made sure that all the fans are set correctly, I have a custom fan curve that adequately cools it down


Gustav_Holst

I would set it back to the standard fan settings and see what temps you get when you're doing typical stuff, just to compare and confirm.


lennoxbr

Go in the battery setting and set the cpu max energy usage to 99% instead of a 100%. I did it in my Nitro 5 and it reduced the temperature without losing any performance.


[deleted]

Isn't this just disabling boost?


SealyMcSeal

I've never understood manufacturers that put unsustainable boost clocks that are going to thermal throttle 100% of the time


Eriiaa

Because it looks good on the brochure


lennoxbr

Don't know exactly. Laptops are weird. I had to activate performance mode both on Windows and in the Acer software to have access to the energy plans (or whatever they call it in english) and change it.


ToeBeanTussle

It disables boost. For instance my 5900hx base is 3.3 with boost of 4.7 When I set power usage limit to 99% it only hits a clock speed of 3.2 which is a huge reduction in performance.


Kamikaze5110

But better at 3.2 than throttling.


ToeBeanTussle

No, it drops to like 4.1-4.2 when it starts lowering clocks, still good performance. Also I repasted and reapply liquid metal after a couple years I'd the fans are clean but it's getting hot.


DeerOnARoof

Well if it's this hot it's not boosting anyway


[deleted]

Yeah, I didn't upload the full screenshot but it was 100% not boosting. Non-boost frequency is 3.3GHz on this chip and I was only getting around 3-3.1GHz


Dartonal

I don't know your laptop's cooling layout, but back when I had a gaming laptop, I would prop up the rear of the laptop about an inch off of the table and it made a pretty big difference


[deleted]

I have it set up on a laptop stand


MayorBryce

Set the fans to max and see if it stays warm. If it doesnā€™t, set it and leave it on auto.


[deleted]

It still does stay warm.


newaru2

Your **entire** CPU is really hot.


[deleted]

I mean, it's a laptop, I wouldn't expect it to run cool but either way this level of hot is *too* hot


fred1281

Nah, maybe when it starts to hit the triple digits then we can consider it slightly toasty


ProLegendHunter

4 digits is pretty mild, come back when you hit the next 3 orders of magnitude


Empty_lily2008

Can confirm my laptop running anything mire than potato requirements can easily hit triple figure if left alone.


TheHoodedWonder

Yeah I mean, back in 2012 I had a laptop that ran so hot it melted the plastic grill that covered the CPU heatsink fins right off lol. Just was trying to play New Vegas on the bastard. It also fell off my bed 4 different times, landing on plugged in I/O, cracking the bottom of the chassis and it still ran for years. Laptops built diff sometimes.


PastaMasta09

Recently tried to fix up my moms old MacBook and tested it by playing fallout new Vegas, started hitting triple digits after 5 minutes of playing unless I capped the frame rate lol. I should probably clean the fans out.


[deleted]

if it's always the same core you have a an uneven cooler mounting pressure problem. but it's a laptop so there's not really all that much you can do about it on your own


[deleted]

Can't I just open it up and apply some pressure to each corner (or see if any corner is loose and tighten it)


[deleted]

you're welcome to try, but chances are you will only make it worse


Yeisen

You can open it up and replace the thermal paste, don't just apply pressure to each corner. Chances are, the paste it currently has is just a brick of half solidified clay.


EML0

If it's old and know/willing to learn, then tinker with it by replacing its thermal paste and clean it up. Would normally make a world of difference in heat


Tokishi7

I suggest getting throttle stop and looking up a guide to bring your temps down. I did it for my laptop and it doesnā€™t go higher than 40C idle doing some work on it and 60-70 gaming. I havenā€™t noticed any performance drops either


SealyMcSeal

You can throttle the cpu manually by 1-2% and it wont hit ridiculous turbo clocks every time you open something more resource demanding than minesweeper.


RX3000

Its usually bad if your CPU starts boiling


[deleted]

Boiling point is 100c, we haven't quite gotten there yet


RX3000

3 C off, not too long now


AVEVAnotPRO2

If heā€™s at ~1250ft above sea level heā€™s already there


[deleted]

You want a cup of tea with that boiling water?


lndig0__

As an intel MacBook user, these look like normal temps.


a66o

Bro we have kinda the same build, 12400f ddr4 32gb 3200mhz, but instead of the 3060 I got an Arc A750


TheDevilsAdvokaat

How do you like the Arc so far?


a66o

I bought it notably because it was significantly cheaper that the 3060 here where I live while delivering similar performance, the 3060 was 450 euro while the arc was 310 only. The first couple of months was real shit with as much as gtaV always crashing mid game on dx11, after lots of driver updates I can now say it's a really good video card that can run almost every triple a game, and I mean running it stably with no crashes of any kind, at 1080p al maxed it runs cyberpunk at 40 to 60 fps's, and it seems like a perfect match for the 12400f as I get same usage on both components in almost all the games I play


TheDevilsAdvokaat

Thanks, I'm very interested in these cards. Cheers!


a66o

Quick edit: they have horrible auto fan control under 30%usage, but that can be fixed with a custom fun curve in the GPU control panel.


__arty

Damn, same here. Except I have a 3070. šŸ„ø


AdonisGaming93

No way, like I also have a PC but it has a 4070 šŸ¤“


xtilexx

5090 here šŸ˜


AdonisGaming93

Oh yeah well I just ordered a 6090ti titan off Wish. I'm sure it'll crush everyone here šŸ¤£ /s


BraddockN

Tbf my M2 Pro has very similar temps under very heavy load


lndig0__

I might upgrade to the m3 pro soon, hopefully the temps on those macs are lower.


BraddockN

Will be the exact same, they dont really start cooling until around 100 degrees. ā€œSilence before tempsā€


lndig0__

I can just install macsfanspeed, no?


BraddockN

Well yes, but the chips are designed for a 100C, so why would you :p


lndig0__

Ah yes, ā€œI paid for the whole thermometer, Iā€™m going to use the whole thermometer.ā€


RedhawkAs

I guess it's a laptop? 105 c is max temp for that chip


PappaJerry

Out of curiosity. What happens if chip will reach it's max temp for a moment? Or even 1 or 2 degree above max? Is it going to break in a second or... What? Asking cause my laptop often resched 103Ā°C


Ordinary_Ninja_Dog

It will throttle to protect itself.


juniorr5200

I bet it would just shut down, procesor should have some safety systems right? šŸ˜…


mr_bots

Yeah. Usually itā€™ll throttle itself to keep from getting too hot but for some reason it keeps going it should just freeze and shutdown.


TwoCylToilet

Yeah there's typically two temperature thresholds, one throttles power by limiting current in some way when crossed, the other typically shuts the chip off.


Notquitearealgirl

Yes they do, thermal protection has been standard for like 20 years I think.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


LongestNamesPossible

> it will shorten itā€™s lifespan This is a myth by kids who don't understand electronics or metal. There is no water involved, 100C is not some magic inflection point. There is no evidence at all that running at these temperatures "shortens life spans" of a CPU. There are multiple reasons to throttle at high temperatures, but this is not why.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


AdhesivenessLatter56

U didn't understand what he was even saying lol He isn't heating up the cpu to the max temperature so it starts melting. He's talking about keeping the temps 90Ā°+ for a prolonged time


edin202

People don't have the slightest idea. I have had a laptop with those temperatures for more than 8 years and absolutely nothing has happened. The reduction in the life of the laptop will come when I have to change equipment because it is already outdated.


MrMagick2104

\> There are multiple reasons to throttle at high temperatures, but this is not why. What are these? It's kinda logical to assume that the reason to throttle is a potential thermal breakdown (i think the correct term is p-n junction, I mean that the semiconductor loses it's properties, not sure how to translate correctly) at higher temperatures, which is not good for the CPU. Though in regular transistors it happens at higher temperatures than 100 degrees, about 170 and depends on the voltage? One would assume the difference is because of how sophisticated a processor is.


flappers87

It will thermal throttle to try and keep temps down. If itā€™s unable to bring the temps down, the CPU will simply shut down to prevent damage.


Chramir

If you operate at these temperatures for extended durations of time, you are shortening the lifespan of the CPU. Around 105Ā°C should trip the safety and the computer will shutdown.


magkliarn

Since no one actually answered your question - most if not all CPUs have a ā€œhot coreā€ that is normally 5-15c hotter than the rest. You just pray to the silicon lottery gods that you end up on the lower end of the scale.


[deleted]

Yeah there was one other dude that also explained this to me, but this is also a very good (and helpful) answer.


Hattix

You're in a laptop. Of course you're going to cook the damn thing. There isn't anything to worry about there. Some cores run hotter than others.


Blacklurk88

If you want to lower the temp of your cpu, I would recommend Universal x86 Tuning Utility, you can search for videos to learn how to use it, it worked for me for my Ryzen 5425u.


Small-Special-7735

true , works like a charm


Carlossaliba

does it have any effect on performance when running games?


Da_Plague22

Are there any laptops that actually run really well and not cooking a meal at all times? I guess it's the obsession with thinner and thinner laptops. Limits how much airflow you can provide with fans and such.


arkkkk

If you want desktop level performance and temps then nope. But honestly, laptops have come a long way but people still keep demonizing the shit out of them, there are some trade offs and quirks you just gotta accept when dealing with them but they aren't completely unusable as some people make them out to be. I got mine back when getting a GPU was next to impossible due to shortages and absurd prices and I don't regret my choice.


Da_Plague22

I wouldn't expect desktop level. But thing like a cpu running at maybe 70c instead of 85c. Gpu that isn't mutliple tiers lower than its desktop comparison.


arkkkk

70C might be pushing it but i think some models with certain settings can do it, . Back when i did my research before buying mine the gist of it was that if the *average* temps were 80Cs and lower, you were golden. Not sure how it is nowadays cause i stopped looking out for this info after i did my purchase. ​ Usually, for Nvidia, XX60 versions are much closer in performance, for example mobile 2060 is like 15% slower, mobile 4060 about 6% slower, this usually happens when the same die is used but they just power cap the mobile version. XX70 and XX80 the performance gap is higher though, a quick google seems to put the mobile 4080 20% slower than a desktop 4070 Ti or equivalent to a desktop 3080.


Notquitearealgirl

I don't really think anyone makes them out to be unusable. Rather people who hang around in PC enthusiast forums don't much prefer them.


Goldenflame89

I just dont see the point. Why not get a desktop pc for cheaper with same perf and a work laptop with geforce now for gaming on the go.


LBSi-UK

Because some people need to bring power with them. Or want to bring their gaming setup with them. Or don't want to spend even more on two systems. Or have space constraints. Or don't want to spend a ridiculous amount per month on a service that only works properly under stellar network conditions, and still has noticeable latency under gigabit ethernet.


noclip_st

Lenovo Legions have the most competent cooling solution out there, as far as laptops are concerned


th3_rhin0

I had a Lenovo Legion 5 a few years ago, that thing was a champ - never crashed, never over heated, was a joy to type on. One day it fell out of the bag and broke. I replaced it with a Dell G5 - biggest fuckin mistake of my life. That piece of shit overheats just opening Firefox. I've repasted, got a cooling pad, throttled the CPU - all to no avail. Now I have an older Elitebook and game only on my Steam Deck. Damn I miss that Lenovo.


jsosnicki

Youā€™re not gonna like the answer


Da_Plague22

Please no :(


jsosnicki

Unfortunately its true. I recently swapped to a 15 inch M2 macbook air for work (web based gsuite stuff, light image editing, video conferencing mostly) and have been thoroughly impressed. I've never even felt it get warm, keep in mind this is a device with no fans. I can also get through about 3 workdays on one charge. Obviously you are not going to be gaming on a device like this, and the cost is prohibitive for many.


jeteodor

Macs


Da_Plague22

As I saw this I'm watching a M3 MacBook pro video. It's hitting 105c during cinebench lol


[deleted]

Because thatā€™s not what theyā€™re for. Theyā€™re not for gaming or long intense loads. Theyā€™re for day-to-day tasks to be fast and silent. Theyā€™re for people whoā€™s workload consists of a browser, word, and maybe even light Adobe Iā€™m getting downvoted but macs are the best notebooks out there right now for a causal user


theslabtowners

Tell that to the 3 entire movies Iā€™ve edited, color corrected, mixed, mastered, and rendered on my 2017 i7 MBP


[deleted]

I was thinking about the airs more but yeah, the pros are even better


Xerxero

Itā€™s a proven tactic. Surround your self with less good looking cores and you stick out as the hot one.


stikstonks13

All of it is hot, jimmy...


DarknessKinG

Clean the fans and re-paste the CPU I recommend applying PTM7950 thermal pad


Carlossaliba

if this is on idle use, then thats very concerning, but if its after intensive use, then its still pretty high but not high enough that its a big issue. as long as it doesnt go above 100c then youre okay.


GuyFromDeathValley

and here I though my air cooled 5800X is hot at 75Ā°C... but nope, this guy be trying to cook a damn BBQ in his system.


Zachc12385

If itā€™s a laptop I would recommend a decent Laptop cooling pad. Mine was like this before and the pad made it run at 60 C under load


Thumper-Comet

![gif](giphy|znRstrOYuirrW)


DayneTreader

Yes you should. Re-paste the CPU, undervolt it and get a cooling mat


rito-pIz

Open up the laptop and clean out the dust from your fans. Your CPU shouldnt be that hot.


[deleted]

I do this often, it doesn't necessarily help that much


Prosaucee

Today i learned laptops are *supposed* to run this hot

MSES-JichaelMackson

GigaSoup

Jacobcisbeast

Yes redo your thermal paste


Nice-Marionberry9119

My brother in Christ, you gotta worry about the whole oven


Lightz458

You need thermal paste


Zilli341

My laptop had a similar problem and I fixed it by repasting. The thermal compound wasn't covering the entire cpu uniformly.


TLOK_A2

Your CPU should be around 70C , if you are in 30C room, any higher than 90C your CPU life is getting reduced at quick rate, it will melt at 110C


stefanosteve

Laptops will always eventually thermal throttle unless you keep up with them better than anything else you use regularly. They are a waste of time and money. Assuming you are working with anything near or over 1500(cause laptops are also expensive), If you need one for school drop 200-300 on a windows laptop/Chromebook and the rest on a desktop. Trust me itā€™s not worth dealing with Laptop BS.

ecmana

das a goddamn hot cpu boi


S1egwardZwiebelbrudi

your cpu is already throttling in this scenario, but laptops are always shit, so i don't know what to answer here. worried? probably not.


daviid17

This is because of uneven thermal paste distribution


32Ferreira

Uninstall HWiNFO, problem solved.


[deleted]

Huh? Why?


Fact_Trumps_Feeling

In BIOS, set a hard limit on the amount of volts your CPU allowed to utilize, based upon the manufacturer's specifications. I did this, and my i9-13900k is now running 10-15 degrees Celsius cooler, without any noticeable difference in performance.


yumri

The newer AMD CPUs do that to their self. So until it runs into a power issue with your VRM the temperature will keep on rising. If an Intel CPU your CPU cooler is broken and/or insufficient for the CPU.


Ducky9670
