the trend with trying to force laptops to be thinner is not helping at all, a senseless fad that has no place in gaming laptops, in my opinion
Bring back the thicc boi laptops. I don't care even if they have to look like a mid 2000's Alienware Aroura.
Funny enough, the "thin and light" wasn't a new concept. And most people don't understand anything about why thin and light is bad for most laptops.
@@killertruth186 nor do they care, marketing teams make sure to convince them that thinner and lighter is always better, gamers cannot be following the rest of the masses however, and need to be informed to protest against thinner and lighter
I able to solved the heating problem by getting a GT500 cooler.
I used it on my MSI GV62 i5-8300H 1050-Ti with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD for 200 bucks by winning a bid.
95c down to 65c at 80% fan speed.
It also save me a trip to the repair shop for thermal paste renewal.
@@Jason75913 That's because the marketing teams doesn't understand the product itself. Also, they are doing it to give as little of the product as possible without outright scamming.
Summary:
If you have sex in a sleeping bag its going to be hot as hell.
Weirdly a very effective analogy
to solve the overheating problem I had to shift to the Himalayas and it worked guys!
man my laptop is running wild now! *passes out from hypoxia*
I m from himalyas and i can assure you thats not the case... my laptop is acer nitro 5 ... it can support games on high settings but cant play on high due to heating , only at mid low setting it wont heat
Still gets 65 to 75 80 during gaming
Awesome and very informative video mate! :) Over time I have actually come to respect and understand laptop APUs, CPUs and GPUs a lot more. I have a 1.2kg, slim Ryzen 2500U APU laptop right now. and when I got it I remember being really impressed by the performance, only to be disappointed 1-2 minute later once the laptop reached its thermal threshold. Later on I understood the design behind it. It was meant for normal laptop use. With other words; light usage with moments of boost-performance. NOT running full blast all the time.
This is why I put it in power saver mode when playing games (downclocking the CPU to 1600MHz and GPU to 750MHz). Sure, performance is significantly reduced, however, the difference is that it can be maintained within the thermal design of 92 degrees. On such a slim and light device I feel like games should never be optimized for max output. E-sports titles that demands 60fps I heavily reduce resolution, In demanding single player games I resort t a locked 30fps (+ lower resolution). Even if the laptop can sometimes theoretically play at ~60fps and/or 1080p. I much rather have the laptop stabilize its temperatures along the 60-75 degrees range instead of thermal throttle at 92.... It's also more comfortable for your fingers on the keyboard xD another workaround is to play outside during the freezing Swedish winters but your fingers quickly turn cold, and the display will start to become slow and blurry. ;)
I own a HP Omen 15" laptop, equipped with an RTX 3070m and a Ryzen 5800H. I've decided to turn off the Turbo Boost on the CPU and also limit all my framerate to 80 max in all games (on a 3840*1080 resolution).
My CPU and GPU never go above 67°C and I haven't lost much in performance to be honest. Performance is more consistent, laptop is quieter, I'm happy with these results.
what about your gpu? Did you undervolt it or just leave it at stock?
Guess that if you under-volt a GPU tecnically you are doing your GPU a MaxQ version, so is trash
My computer buddy told me that the best thing for my gaming laptop is try not to push it too hard and keep it as cool as possible. Because all of that heat is wear and tear and determines the lifespan of your laptop down the road. It's like all the electronic parts in your car eventually those parts and or sensors burn out from use.
For those who want to avoid these , you can DISABLE DYNAMIC BOOST in power profile settings, if you cannot find it, here the regedit location

3) Change option under name "Attributes" from "1" to "0".

Just setup a framerate limit in nvidia control panel - it will throttle up to maintain minimum framerate but generally run cooler and quieter when it can.
Ye this, Just play Lower Details Your machine is capable of running, Who cares about Graphics you wont even notice difference on laptop screen anyways. But you will have good Temperatures and Machine will last long time, Current Laptop i have With Gtx 1070 is like 5 years old and still Working fine.
@@janodefenua4603ok so how can i know the best settings for my laptop tho its an victus 15 with 3050 rtx 16gb of ram and i5 processor and 144Hz screen
If a laptop was customized to have a easily removeable bottom panel where the needed CPU and GPU could be made to dock in direct contact to a full sized cooler in some way then should it, in theory, be able to sustain it's boost speed?
We gotta invent a universal dock where you can adjust the position of the coolers in the dock to fit any laptop.
@@hopper9034 yes
no they should be designed with practicality in mind not sacrifice everything for design. Why cook everything inside slowly when there is already a shortage, for those who need it for work MAKE the gaming laptop for them with less demanding cards and cores that didn't just release recently

Disabling CPU Turbo Boost really works, but it slightly lessens performance. However, it’s really worth it if you have a powerful GPU.
Halo Infinite doesnt think the same 💀
real its a game changer
This channel growing strong. Great videos recently.
My gaming laptop shreds through all the games I've played but it does struggle with thermal issues on very intensive tasks like mining
Excellent video, perfect explanation
People keep going with the misconception that gaming laptops overheat, when actually, they're perfectly in spec
You are talking very important thing, general consumer won't even have any idea why there machine runs slow.
Many Companies cheap out on heatsink.
I have an i3 1005G1 laptop, it's an Budget-Student category laptop. But the company went super cheap on cooling system. My laptop was going, 101°C on boot, laptop fan was so cheap that it was not even detected by any Info/Monitoring software.
I disabled, it's turbo boost & replaced thermal paste, now runs better.
Great video! Thank you for the useful information and the first hand experience!
Thanks for the video. I just bought a Helios 300 3070 and I was pretty shocked by how hot it runs but I feel much better now. It's fans are really efficient and it's not hit 90° yet.
really not hit 90 yet?? my predator triton 300 2019 or 2020 runs at 97 degrees!
@@Tomzclipz22 I run Microsoft Flight Simulator on my Helios and according to the dashboard it normally runs in the high 60s. The fans are running and I have an efficient cooling stand for it.
@@Tomzclipz22 me too
@@Tomzclipz22 i have the same laptop 2021 spec, i run a few demanding games like beamng, gtav with mods and eurotruck with the oculus etc. I use extreme setting on predator ui for gaming and put the fans at max. I check the monitoring graph occasionally and my cpu hits 100 sometimes but is mainly at around 95+. Im wondering if im stressing her out too much, its not daily use though, maybe 5 hrs of continuous play a couple days a week. If you can advise me would be appreciated.
How is the sound passing 80 degrees?
mine did for the first 2 days i had it then i re-pasted with noctua nh-2 my MSI GF63 thin went from 67C idle to 40C idle on an intel 11400H, when i got it, it was throttling doing nothing now its fine no more high temps
Good job ! yo man what tool u use to measure the temp stats ? thank you.
I've had my acer nitro 5 for roughly 2 years and I've noticed it reaching high temperatures even when idle. Though I have a feeling it's because of the dust build up lol
same bro
If you research windows throttle setting you will see the same issue i dealt with .
well, i also have a nitro 5 and it only heats when i play VERY extensive games, but doesnt make any noise at all when idle or doing other stuff, but still, that coment is scaring me
Same here, just got mine 2 weeks ago and I'm seeing temps of 70-80c, I'm scared because my ASUS TUF A15 processor died due to overheating a month before, so I'm trying not to go above 60 on my acer
Thank you for the wonderful content. However, I wonder a few point:
(1) If I buy a laptop with CPU a few years old (9th or 10th gen) and low GPU (GTX1650 4G), will it reduce the heat generating from the laptop?
(2) If I don't play any game, will the laptop get overheat too?
(3) Is there any gaming budget laptop you would recommend to avoid this overheating issue?
Honestly, I am considering buying TUF F15 FX506LHB GTX1650. I usually run my PC for more that 10 hours a day, so I need the one that can withstand the heat!
Thank you.
Any msi with cooler boost laptop won't overheat in my opinion. My gp76 11800h 3070 won't go over 70 Celsius in any game at 100% CPU/GPU. But you need good headphones so you don't hear the helicopter fans in your room.
You can improve a little with the overheating by switching to liquid metal on chips, but for a portable thing it's dangerous. But the real reason why many laptops overheat is bad designing of the coolers. Always less pipes and thinner than needed, always smaller fans than needed.. I can build a better computer with the same cash and it will contain much more copper and aluminum than the laptop, i wonder why..
people with disposable income and low emotional maturity basically throw and replace them after 4 to 5 years. Gaming laptops will continue to be made in to note books and there is nothing you can do about it cause it would require lots of resources to cater to minority
I think the screen also make it expensive for laptop
Corporations have no interest in give you something reliable. Capitalism requires constant buying. :)
man my dell 15 3000 inspiron is what i use to game on war thunder and roblox but i need to get a better fan any suggestions on fan that can fit in it?
Turbo boost working while also abiding by the Tj Max spec set by Intel / AMD. Disabling TB basically resolves the issue entirely and also remember TB is never guaranteed, the only promised speed as such is the base core clock I think, you also do not need the max TB speed for gaming at all, I always disable it personally.
*Yeah, I disabled it* on my Student- Budget i3 laptop. Now it runs better & processor speed minimum 50%, else everything is a bit slow.
Takes owning a laptop to see how much energy TB wastes, for a marginal improvement in performance.
Do undervolting cpu using throttlestop helps?
The biggest thing you can do about laptop temps imo is just by undervolting the cpu with throttle stop or pbo2 tuner. It hardly affects performance if at all but will drop your temps considerably and it doesn’t take long at all to do.
Ive redone the thermal past dozens of time. Burned through 17 chill pads. I really can not understand what it keeps overheating. Getting too how to actually toucj sometimes.
Hi! I've recently bought a gaming laptop with ryzen 7 5800h and in heavy games CPU sits at 95-100C° with rare spikes to 101-102C°. Did i get it right that that's ok for gaming laptops and i don't need to lose my mind about it?
so i dont know a whole lot about tech but i was curious something like a 2060 gaming laptop what would be considered to hot fo something like that?
If the laptop manufacturer does not use liquid metal then it is better to replace the temopaste with a Honeywell PTM7950 phase-change thermopad. Lenovo has been using the PTM7958 version in Legion's higher-end laptops since November 2021. CPU and GPU temperatures should drop significantly and there should not be too much throttling. I would also recommend performing undervolting.

Whats the life time on that ptm 7950 stuff.
You dont wanna unplug a gaming laptop while gaming or else it will drop dead like a fish
simple they are made thinner and thinner while the components inside them require greater and greater cooling, like a thin 2000 series is fine maybe but why the eff would you convert a 6 core rtx 3000 series in to a big note book. You barely need half of it's power for work and studies so WHY?
Techteam: if your parts are close to 90 degrees, you should try to cool them down.
Me with a 95 degrees gpu: this is fine
Me when my pc literally shuts off in roblox: this is fire
They just don't have enough room to dissipate the heat of the powerful CPU and GPU housed inside. I think it is kind of stupid building laptops that are 0.6 inches thick with a dedicated GPU.
i have a nitro 5 11400h + rtx3060 and its a freaken furnace ! ive seen it get upto 96C XD cant undervolt.. lowering tdp just lose performance, i have to play with this laptop with turbo off and gpu low af and still over heats XDD .. its the cpu side that heats up
Well that explains everything, I have an hp laptop with an i5 1035g1, and recently upgraded to 16 gigs of ram, while the performance of it was definitely a step up compared to my other hp laptop with only a dual core cpu, I noticed when I left it out doing nothing the fans would start ramping up, at first I thought that the fans where just acting up, but I looked at the temperature and it was already approaching the 80's which was not a good sign, even when I put new thermal paste in it still was very warm especially when not in use, so it was probably a good thing when I retried it from editing, because I know if it were to be in extremely heavy work loads the temperature would probably be off the charts.
Disable turbo boost, you'll notice the difference.
If you don't mind the CPU to run on stock speed.
Thanks for this!
Guys if you put your laptop in water it will run pretty cool actually
Some of latest gaming laptop are nearly there to solve that overheating issue with the laptops, I have HP Victus 16 it temps never crosses 80C even hours of gaming, but my Asus F15 always stays at 92C while playing BFV.
I got victus 15, is gaming around 70-80c for cpu safe? My gpu temps are pretty low i think (around 65c)
My one is f15 dash it goes 95 while gaming
I solved the heating problem by getting a IETS GT500 cooler.
I used it on my MSI GV62 i5-8300H 1050-Ti with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD for 200 bucks by winning a bid.
95c down to 65c at 50% fan speed. You can lower the fan speed to keep the fan noise down. The other benefits is not to overworked the fan motor. It's the most expensive cooling pad with tight seal and industrial turbine fan. The price tag is 80 bucks while making this post. Make your investment worthwhile.
It also save me a trip to the repair shop for thermal paste renewal.
Look up IETS GT500 and you'll see a lot positive reviews.
Thanks for the cooler suggestion! I'll look into it.

my laptop's ryzen 6800h goes up to 95 degree Celsius when I put the load on it, real quick, I don't know why you say it takes longer for AMD than Intel to heat up lol
I have an i5 12.450 H but warzone 3 full HD low 60 fps limit which I said was 95 degrees and I applied thermal paste yesterday.
Uhhhh, I've always read and heard that the CPU's and GPU's in gaming laptops are built and meant to run at higher temps like that.
I have an I7-10750h with a GTX 1660ti gaming laptop. I forget what the GPU usually runs at on the "max performance" mode running games on high/ultra settings, but i do know that the CPU running with the same "max performance" on high/ultra settings runs around 93°c - 95°c.
It has NEVER exceeded 95*c and the max temp it is safe to run at is 100*c before it starts thermal throttling.
But yeah, from all my research in all my years of learning about PC's, laptop CPU's and GPU's are built and meant to run at higher temps of 90-100*c.
I had this problem on my predator Helios 300 it would stay a 92C constantly but I discovered that Turing off intel turbo hydro boost fixes it! Find a video on how to do it and you should be good
Liquid metal changed my perspective. My results are staggering, a decent 14-20 degree drop, depending on my load. It still thermal throttles on cinebench, but that's what I get for having an i9 and 2080 Super Max Q in one unit.
I'm thinking about doing this with my I7-12800h/3070Ti Razer blade. Cpu keeps hitting 100c when gaming. You think it'll help with temps?
@@TruFire710 Easiest way is to disable turbo boost. It'll impact performance a bit but you'll be looking around 70c temp after.

Is it a normal temperature for a gaming laptop ?
how long my laptop can work fine with a daily 6 hours of usage on heavy load gaming ?
it's a lenovo legion 5i 2021 model and is it good to compare other similar devices from other brands.
completely normal
perfectly normal, just make sure you have a cooling pad or incline your laptop a bit to allow for airflow, rest they all run around 90-95C.
I have Asus F15 with i7 12650 and 3070 and they all hover around 91-92C while gaming, just make sure they dont hit 100C or higher.
Sounds like the same laptop I have - as a free hack you can use the long edge of the power adapter under the back rubber foot of the laptop to prop it up and get some airflow. The surface of the power adapter will remain uncovered so does not overheat.
Also it's best to cap the framerate in nvidia control panel to allow it to throttle down when the game doesn't need full power.
If using an external screen you can stand the laptop vertically like a tent, by having the screen slightly open and standing it on a matt/carpet by its front edge. This exposes the underside of the laptop to maximize airflow.
100c is water boiling temp. Cooling pads don’t help much.
Good stuff
I disagree with amd keeping cool for longer period of time, i had lenovo legion 5 pro with i7 gen 11th and asus rog advantage edition with r9 5900HX, the asus was able to keep 3.2 ghz in benchmark at 90C and lenovo was able to keep 4.3 at 85C, this is a massive diference beween them, at score too (intel 13500+, amd 11600+).
Some High budget laptops has good cooling system and thermal paste like that of Lenovo whereas some doesn't, I have seen my Intel processor has way lower temperature on different laptop with bigger budget and better cooling system (probably because of thermal paste) , so it might be possible u r lucky....and yes AMD is always better than Intel these days but U can't really blame Intel for this issue

Sorry to ask it here , I got a question ...I've been thinking about buying a gaming laptop lately , but I got a little confused and discouraged by people complaining and joking about these laptops' thermals and overheating . Do "all" of them overheat?! And how bad does that affect your experience of the games? Is it even possible to play for like 3 or 4 hours straight? What brand is the best in this matter? I was planning on a Asus ROG strix g17(RTX 3060) or maybe a Legion 5 and in my situation laptop is my only option so I can't thing about desktop PC. I'll appreciate it if anyone could share their experiences
Don't listen to the negativity because at the end of the day you're going to be the only one using the system. I'd ask yourself why you want a laptop because you can build, find guide or buy adorable pre-built computers for the price of a laptop
@@nickdaawgg Thanks for the reply man. Well portability is the main reason for me , as a student in a dorm.

I dont know if you have already picked up a gaming laptop or not, but while its true there is alot of heat coming from these laptops, there is also techniques in dramatically lowering those temps.
If you google "How to limit turboboost", you can put a limiter on the amount of power that the cpu is pushing without much loss of performance and a dramatic drop in heat.
@@KaramTNC using throttlestop?
Is it normal for me playing game with my gaming laptop max temp is 83 °?
I make sure to have a fan that is about twice the size of my laptop sitting under it to keep it cool.
If you ever consider repasting:
For long-term stability and high thermal performance almost nothing beats Honeywell PTM7950 paste sheets.
Honeywell PTM phase-change pads are better than basically any paste you're going to replace it with. My first highly recommended choice is the PTM7950 sheet (i found and got them from ebuy7). Otherwise Thermalright TFX, Shin-Etsu 7921-5, IC Diamond, Maxtor CTG9, Thermagic ZF-EX, Highly viscous pastes but even with those a repaste within 5 months might be necessary.
Kryonaut and many other popular pastes work great on desktop CPU's but are not very reliable on gpu's and direct-die with high temperature at 80'c and above. It starts with great day 1 temperatures and rapidly declines after a few weeks/months.
Hard to spread high viscosity pastes works best on those situations, and that's the reason why pre-applied factory paste is thick.

I have a genuine question. I'm completely new to gaming laptops and just bought my first one a few weeks ago. It's a Lenovo Legion 5 and while it stays super cool while playing on battery, usually staying around 55 and rarely getting up to 60, once I plug it in the temps for both my GPU and CPU rise up to 65, even reaching 74 at some moments. While I know that those temperatures are complete safe, the device it self gets really hot. The bottom of it and even the keyboard. Even the plug of my charger gets hot to the point that it makes me nervous that it might be damaging the laptop and since this is my first gaming laptop, I am not sure if this is normal or if I have to give up on long hour gaming sessions and just rely on my battery. I only use my dedicated GPU during gaming. It's a RTX 3060 mobile, while my CPU is a AMD Ryzen 5 6600. So, are stuff that I am experiencing with my laptop normal?
Congratulations on your new gaming laptop, the Lenovo Legion 5! I can understand your concern about the temperatures and the overall heat of the device. Let's break down your concerns and address them one by one:
1. **Temperature when plugged in**: It's quite common for gaming laptops to experience slightly higher temperatures when plugged in compared to running on battery. This is because, when on battery, the system may prioritize power efficiency and performance might be limited to some extent. When plugged in, the laptop can draw more power and perform at its full potential, which may generate more heat.
2. **GPU and CPU temperatures**: The temperatures you mentioned (65-74°C) for both your GPU and CPU are indeed within safe operating limits. Modern gaming laptops are designed to handle high temperatures and have built-in thermal management systems to prevent any damage due to overheating. The maximum temperature threshold for most GPUs and CPUs is usually around 90-100°C, so you're well within safe limits.
3. **Hot laptop and keyboard**: Gaming laptops tend to get hot during intense gaming sessions, especially when both the CPU and GPU are under heavy load. This is normal behavior, and the heat is dissipated through the laptop's vents and cooling system. As long as the laptop doesn't shut down due to overheating or suffer from performance issues, it should be fine.
4. **Hot charger**: Chargers can also get warm during use, especially if they are providing high power output to the laptop. Some heat is normal, but it should not become uncomfortably hot or pose a safety hazard. Keep the charger in a well-ventilated area, away from any flammable materials, and avoid using third-party chargers that are not specifically designed for your laptop.
5. **Long gaming sessions**: It's okay to engage in long gaming sessions on your laptop, but it's essential to ensure proper ventilation and airflow. Place the laptop on a flat and solid surface to allow for better air intake from the bottom vents. If you're concerned about the keyboard getting too hot, consider using an external keyboard during extended gaming sessions to keep the heat away from your hands.
To summarize, the temperatures and experiences you described seem to be within normal ranges for a gaming laptop. However, if you still feel uneasy about the heat, you can try a few things to improve the situation:
- Invest in a laptop cooling pad: These cooling pads have built-in fans that help in additional cooling by increasing airflow beneath the laptop.
- Clean the laptop: Dust and debris can accumulate inside the laptop, affecting its cooling efficiency. Cleaning the vents and internal components can help improve thermal performance.
- Optimize in-game settings: Lowering some graphics settings in games can reduce the load on the GPU and CPU, resulting in slightly lower temperatures.
If you notice any significant performance issues, sudden shutdowns, or temperatures consistently reaching close to the maximum thresholds, it might be worth contacting Lenovo support for further assistance.
Overall, it seems like your Lenovo Legion 5 is performing as expected, and with proper care and maintenance, it should provide you with a great gaming experience. Happy gaming!

Turn off turbo boost, for the love of god... I've been getting temp problems on my Legion 5 whenever i'm gaming whether it's a light game or a heavy one it always runs at 90c turns out it was because my cpu had been running on turbo mode this whole time.. After turning it off it runs max load at 70c average and only peaked at 80c which is a big improvement.
You might want to check and see if yours are running on turbo mode because i definitely suggest you to turn it off
@@ReikiMaulana
You don't have to turn off turbo boost .. just reduce the max CPU frequency to 98% in the power scheme in windows and turbo boost won't turn on all the time
For those who want to avoid these , you can DISABLE DYNAMIC BOOST in power profile settings, if you cannot find it, here the regedit location
Follow the path:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7
3) Change option under name "Attributes" from "1" to "0".
* If this does not work - try changing it to "2".
What does it exacly do?
Turn off turbo boost in batery and power options, if possible undervolt your PUs.
it reduce perfomance alot u can notice it in intensive games like battlefield warzone
I play Ark epic setting and ended play them just for 10 minute after the performance drops to 1 fps with glitches voice. Imagine, from 80fps drop to 1 fps. Imagine.
Got 4 years out of my MSI with a 1660ti. Avg temps on gpu were 85. Never any issues. Sold it for a good price to my buddy 6 months ago and he's had zero issues. Some of the tips for longevity is open a damn window, get a fan going near by for airflow, or just cooling pad.
So it's ok that my new laptop gets real warm when gaming for a while?
They all get warm anything that draws over 150w from the wall are going to get warm its normal.
This is one of the reasons I'm gonna switch back to using a desktop PC. I have already had two gaming laptops and it's nothing but trouble to me.
oh there were lot of good ones just that now there is not only a brand problem but the good ones have now opted for super thin design, basically cooking them
I had an alienware 17 overheating gave me a headache tried everything until i got a PC with same specs and way cheaper and i gotta say its the best decision ive ever made 😅🔥
I was playing rainbow six siege on my k6500ze and with maximum graphics it runs around 76fps that for me is acceptable. But it overheat pretty quicly, so i found the solution: A wireframe thin box and sinthetic ice! With only one sinthetic ice pack i can play for 2 and a half hours!
Thicker and heavier, not an issue for me. No pun intended. I prefer the gaming laptops to be on the thicker end.
great video, hey i just bought the alienware x17 r1 the cooling on this thing is amazing, the redesign includes 4 cooling fans and a new type of thermal compound, im getting 75c max on the cpu and 73c max on the gpu. review this laptop its amazing.
Congratulations & Enjoy Gaming !!
That good to hear I have the M17 R4 and I hate the temps on it... It works flawlessly but man does it get hot.... Might get a x17....later...

i'm trying to have lass temperatures on my i5 10300h wile gaming through underclock and other methods to lose as little performance as possibly
You can undervolt your CPU, it helps a lot. Depending on how much you need performance, the games you play or your FPS target is, you may also consider completely turning off Turbo Boost. By doing these tweaks your CPU will never go beyond 60°C to 65°C.
@@ascerta no problem i have changed pc😂😂
Thank god, i thought 90° wasn't normal
Its normal in gaming laptop
At this point Gaming laptops are becoming stoves 🤦♀️🤣
Gaming laptops CPU are built differently that pc CPU that is the whole thing they are kind of made to handle those temperatures to the cooling capacity is little
i had to x1.25 speed this video cuz of the slow mo talking with this dude
my laptop is new but it gets heated very quickly even when i use only chrome,how to fix it
same!!
It's normal for Chrome tho
Easy tips
- play games in medium setting with 30fps for longer lifespan the laptop
Or turn off the CPU turbo boost.
@@barebarekun161 yup 100% true
That's what am doing
@@barebarekun161 if i disable turbo boost the fps not lower still same ?
@@brahimmarizak3964 Depends on the render target.
I have rather low target so turning off CPU Turbo barely decrease my performance but 1% average fps performance obviously affected but I'm not neurotic over it.

I absolutely hate thin and light laptops especially with gaming laptops. Because the concept of thin and light is nothing new and never was new. Especially when there's already concepts and or physical proof of them existing decades ago. And gaming laptops can never have the OC desktop performance let alone stock desktop performance, unless it is a single generation ahead.
The concept of thin and light isn't the worst thing for laptops or in general, it's just the manufacturers going the lazy route to copy and paste from that design perspective. And to recycle only one case design throughout the generations of hardware...
Undervolt, lower TEPS, higher price, this is way more better path than actual trends in my opinion. I discover some Asus notebooks have uniqe cooling system, sucking cold air via keyboard and blow hot air is space between back and monitor where it bend. i5 7200u and nVida 940mx was that specific case. I rather spend more money for newer cpu and undervolt it than run some cpu for minimum price and max power with destructive temps. lol....
Funny how ALL of your laptops are from either Acer or Asus, those notorious for high temps. Why isn't there A SINGLE Lenovo Legion, msi GP\GE series?
Imagine a gtx 970 desktop which is overclocked to max performance and has best cooling in that desktop.
Now imagine a 14 inch laptop with 2 cm thick with better performance and better cooling than gtx 970 desktop.
That’s what’s possible now . Also it’s very affordable.
It’s good to know that my Zephyrus G15 isn’t broken bc it runs at 90-93 Celsius and I really don’t want to know I wasted 1500 dollars so thanks for the reassurance
there are a few ways to help lower temps, and you can find videos about it all

got a laptop I won from hp man this thing sucks, I spend most of my days configuring this shit to run at low temps, succeed then somehow right back to 100c. this things like 3k and I dont even want to sell it I wanna throw this shit and bust it with a hammer. dogshit heat makes me fume man even lightweight games it crys like a bitch. so sick of computers but this pos might have made me have a hate for them
Eyy I’ll take it if you don’t want it😂😂
Try replacing with a thermal pad or high end Thermal Paste.
Let the words flow smoothly, bro!
some people do not have that talent, Including me.
The real issue on why it's overheating was it mostly caused by Turbo Boost for the CPU.
My MSI GF63 THIN has some similar thermal spikes issue that sometimes goes up above 93 then go down to around 73 to 85.
When I deactivated the turbo boost from ever triggered when launching productivity app or gaming, the thermal *Never* spikes above 53 Celcius anymore, games like Warzone 2 doesn't have any fps impact other than more unstable fps due to my RAM being single channel ( yes, i still haven't upgrade it after 2 months, give me some time to get more money ). This honestly made me happy, like i don't really care if I lose 10 to 25% performance because I disable turbo boost, games that is GPU Intensive wouldn't even had any difference anyway, and i rather have my CPU to be 30 Celcius cooler than having to squeeze 20% more performance.
I have recently came to conclusion that is the only reason why gaming laptops became much worse than it should have been. I think in my conspiratorial opinion, Intel never changed the boost behavior any different between Laptops and desktops and assuming that every laptop would have as much cooling as desktops. When in reality they never do.
The answer is simple. Because manufacturers these days are idiots who keep making them 'slimmer' for no reason. The best gaming laptop is a wedge shape, low at the front for the wrists, and high at the back for beefy heat sinks. Almost like the G752VS. Those sinks are 2cm tall. Now a days they're only 1cm tall and the fans are annoyingly loud and high pitched.
Water-cooled laptops
They need to stop pushing thin and go back to pushing durability and reliability .
Edit : turn windows turbo boost off . I just want my games to run and not melt my machine into a puddle .
Gaming laptops are pretty much evolving towards devices like the "steam deck" and the "gpd win max 2"... so the potable aspect of the "gaming laptop" will eventually become obsolete
I got the same acer nitro5 and it burned itself while playing genshin impact, worst laptop I ever had
