    For tip #2, I'll only really recommend Ilano or IETS as a laptop cooler. Im surprised not a lot of laptop reviewers get how good the vacuum sealed type coolers are, decrease temps of around 15-20C and a lot of them come with an air filter so that theyre always blowing clean air most of the time and not packed with dust. "The greatest technician thats ever lived" finally got a hold of it, now i just hope other tech reviewers actually give it a chance cuz its really really good, and i personally own one. Now i can use my laptop as a main station without worrying about temps

      I've used both of them, but I like and currently use the Flydigi BS1. It delivers the same performance as the other two but is noticeably quieter than them at similar fan speeds. It's also cheaper too, $50-60~ last time I checked on Amazon. I've yet to have any issues with it unlike a few others, so from me I recommend it over the other two due to the price and noise.

    Additional tip:
    #1 Disable Turbo Boost, by limiting ur CPU power to its listed spec, you virtually lose nothing while gaming. It decrease my temp from 88c to 75c .
    #2 choose 'balanced' profile or tweak ur GPU to perform in lower Wattage than its listed spec. My 3060 mobile has 90w tdp, and I don't have any feature to limit it, but my laptop 'balanced' profile let it run on 65w tdp. It never went up higher than 70c.
    These 2 tips might turn people off becauss it's limiting performance, but after I tried, I feel like the loss is miniscule compared to the anxious feeling of deeling with crazy high temps.

      At first I was terrified when I played Uncharted & TLOU on PC, in the shader cache compiling, the temp goes to 92c which is "the worst thing you can do" for the laptop longetivity.
      Then I just disable turbo boost on control panel to see what has changed... and the cpu limited to it's listed clock, and I lose 2-5 fps on average which doesn't matter because I already achieve above 60fps anyway.
      If you think it's bad, then please do tell us about the side effect of it.... which in my case, I see none up to now.

Did some reserch and i think they decided not to open the holes for a lot of low end gaming laptops, even tho opening them helped a lot

    @cihaztvvideo 2 месяца назад +4

    You can also limit the CPU Wattage. Many laptop processors reach unnecessary wattage levels. In this way, a temperature drop of 20-25 degrees Celsius is possible in games without feeling almost any performance difference. (There may be a noticeable difference in competitive games that require processor power, but I can say that there will be almost no difference in AAA games.) For example, 30-35w power is enough for Ryzen 5/7 6000/7000/8000 series processors. For Intel 12/13/14H/HX processors, you can try 45-65W limit. You can use UXTU software to limit AMD processors and Throttlestop software to limit Intel processors. There's no harm in trying, you can find the ideal processor wattage of your laptop with a few tries.

    There's one of the most important tips left behind, turn off turbo boost from your cpu, for example if you have a ryzen 7 or 9hs, the base clock wil be +3.2ghz at 1.0v, turbo will reach +4ghz but at a 1.2 or even 1.4v for small amount of time, if you disable turbo from the cpu your temps will be stable and a lot lower, i mean 20-30° lesser, im able to run warhammer darktide and vermintide at 60fps+ at 70° in a asus rog flow x13, if i turn boost on i will be always at 85-95°, but no noticeable performance difference, of course it will depened on the application or game you are trying to play, even rendering a 4K music video that took me 35 min my temps never went higher than 74° with most of the time sitting at around 68-71. For gaming i will also recommend capping the fps, framerate will be a lot smoother like that and you'll be getting lower temps. hope that helps

  • @KurtisPape
    @KurtisPape 3 месяца назад +2

    Frame rate capping is a necessity for me, even though your average frame rate is lower, it's still better for gaming because you get consistent FPS, so 60fps solid. Where uncapped it can be 100fps then drop to 60fps when the gameplay intensifies.

    • @aaronjones4529
      @aaronjones4529 3 месяца назад

      AFAIK you can still undervolt all CPUs from BIOS, just not at runtime (ie via IntelXTU or ThrottleStop)... The most simple undervolt can be done by locking Vcore in BIOS to a fixed value - this will use slightly more power at idle (than stock settings), but will also use significantly less power under load... eg: 12700 with fixed undervolt goes up from 3W-5W idle to 6W-10W at ilde, but also goes from 195W down to 149W at full load, without changing any other settings.

    • @RS-nq8xk

    @Jakiyyyyy 3 месяца назад +4

    It don't have to be very aggressive for undervolting. Just do +225Mhz for the core and +300Mhz for the memory with 825mV should give you stability in games like 99% of the time. After that you can proceed with locking the fps. I would recommend repasting with Honeywell first and then you should be good for years. Last thing is to get an IETS cooler. It's expensive I know but really worth it if you are a laptop gamer. If undervolting is all you cared about, definitely pick Intel over Ryzen. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    fyi, i've tried many thermal paste like GellidGC Extreme, Kingpin KPX, Kryonaut, Arctic MX-6, and several cooler master paste that i can't remember and none of those ever have temps better than the PTM 7950 i currently use.

    Tip 1 has a couple of asterisks. Some Laptops have an intake facing the display, in which case opening the display more (which is also a side effect of propping the back end up) makes the display less of a air flow hindrance. This is more usual with the kind of hinges that prop the back of the computer up as you open the laptop. Asterisk two, if you use your laptop on top of the lap, check where the air intakes are and sit in a way you don't block them with your thighs. Not an issue with demanding games as they'd burn up any thighs of people trying to keep the laptop on top of their lap, but an issue when playing older games or just less demanding games. It is very easy to accidentally block the intake with the thighs and then wonder why the laptop is way hotter than it should be for running a simple game.

    Jarrod, I have found that limiting frame rate to 40 fps, lowering screen resolution, AND using Lossless Scaling to both upscale and using 3x frame generation to get 120 fps makes a huge difference. I have even played Helldivers 2 on the much-maligned HP Omen Transcend 14 with Core Ultra 7 155H and 4060 IN ECO MODE and I'm still able to maintain 120 fps, with some screen tearing albeit but it doesn't seem to really harm the gameplay. I can actually hear and enjoy the games with minimal fan distraction!

    My older Predator Helios (2019 rtx 2060) started overheating to the point of blue screen. Did all the obvious housekeeping - cleaning fans/vents, raising it a little, bought a cooling pad) none of it helped much but at least no more blue screens but it was still running even older games at about 91C. I then discovered undervolting using Throttlestop. I started off big, then gradually walked it back to stability. Funny thing is, I suspect it may have been the thermostat (?) misreading the temp in the laptop the entire time; with Throttlestop running in the background, and with NO undervolting Predator Sense would read about 70C on startup, as soon as I started Throttlestop, this would instantly drop to 50C or so and drop from there once the cooling kicked in. Of course it doesn't help I live in the tropics....

    the result is that in the past 2 years I rarely get temperatures above 85 for the CPU and the GPU never again reaches 75

    From my experience, if you use an AMD cpu you can disable cpu boost in the windows setting (or if you're using an asus laptop you can use g-helper to turn it off) this simple change can lower your cpu temperatures from 80-90 degrees to 60-70 on heavy load, and it only costs you around 5% of your fps (sometimes it doesn't even affect it at all)

    Even though laptop coolers in this video don't seem to accomplish much, I will say that the Llano, and other laptop coolers that seem to have the memory foam sealant do a really good job at lowering laptop temps. I didn't necessarily believe the videos that mentioned that it could drop the temps by 20 degrees C, but in my case I did get a nice 5 - 10 degree drop which is much better than I remember laptop coolers being like 10+ years ago rofl.
    At max fans, I can potentially see the 10 degree C drop more often than not. Ultimate trade off is still the sound, but it's nice to know it actually does accomplish something.

    To me, undervolt has to be the best way to keep a gaming laptop cool. Mine is a LOQ 15IAX9 with i5 12450HX | 3050 and the temps dropped from peak 90 (CPU) and 85 (GPU) all the way to 75 and 72, respectively, while sacrificing absolute minimal performance (about 1-2%). Though getting a cooling pad from Llano or IETS is much more preferrable and effective.

    @MOTO_RIDERNGDABAW 2 месяца назад

    I got some tips too. Though this is for the intel users only.
    dont try to follow video saying disabling turbo.
    1st download throttlestop, if you got those h-series and 12th gen up undervolting is not allowed.
    try to set PROCHOT to 20 or 17. (100-17= 83c starts to thermal throttle) You will still get single core high boost clock when surfing and doing low resource apps. when gaming it'll just max out at the set prochot value. Make a task scheculer for it to run every log in daily in background. set and forget.
    if you're generous enough, you can also decrease the value to whatever you would like. I knew someone from discord that wanted all performance and set it to 0.
    he might toast that laptop LOL
    WARNING: make sure you do not accidentally set it lower than what your 30 or it'll lag and freeze.(for those who have task scheduler)

      on cinebench r20 default I could get around 4900 to 5000 score. (92c prochot = default on nitrosense, i dont wanna try performance as it allows the cpu to go 100c)
      but with this set up i get like 4200 to 4600 depending on my surrounding temperatures. sometimes it hits like 38 - 41 degrees celcius in heat index in my country.
      for me, not a bad compromise

  • @Bargate
    @Bargate 3 месяца назад +1

    A stand normally all you need and limiting your fps. If you have a decent laptop this make your laptop shouldn't reach the 80s anymore and 70s and lower is completely safe and won't cause damage to laptop CPUs and GPUs because they are designed to run safely until 84 on GPU and 90 or 95 on CPUs. I'd only suggest the extra stuff like a cooling pad if you're running turbo to get max framerates and you mostly play competitive games. Personally I can lock in 144fps and not really feel a difference in play and still have good temps in the high 60s or low 70s but I understand people can be more frame sensitive than others. A small undervolt can also really help too would suggest watching a guide but it's not necessary.

    2:46 true, my MSi Prestige P65 9SD with an i7-9750H is one of those that would severely thermal throttled unless I use either the super expensive Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme or Conductonaut (which is very risky if you're not applying it correctly). 🫠
    If I don't use either one of these two top of line TIMs, the idle temp would be hovering around 67-70 C, and would instantly spike up to 80+ the moment I do anything. Even if it is just opening a frigging File Explorer.
    Running games or productivity apps (especially the more CPU demanding ones) would lock it over 88 C. I don't even need to run AIDA64 or Cinebench to get this high.

    Aside from CPU undervolting, gpu undervolting is a big heat and power saver for nvidia laptops. Very easy to do using msi afterburner. There are plenty how to vids floating around for doing that. Amd lapop gpus don't undervolt as far as I know, you can only power limit them.
    Also, for AMD laptop cpus, you can't undervolt but there's a power limiting trick you can do in one of the advanced option submenus. You just turn down minimum and maximum processor power down from 100% to 99%. This will reduce cpu clock speeds and limit boosting behavior. In most games the performance loss will be negligible but this trick can drop cpu temps anywhere from 10 to 20c.
    I've been running my legion 5 pro with a 5800h and 3070 this way for the past 4 years and the highest temps I ever get peak in the low to mid 70s. It often runs in the mid to high 60s. Performance wise I would say I'm giving up 5% to 8% of its max capability, but the greatly lowered heat generally provides more stability over long gaming sessions.

    Here's, most significant technique, that can drop your temp. for almost 15°C. It's disabling turbo boost CPU.
    You could do it through Control Panel > Choose a power plan > Change plan settings (I made another power plan so I can switch between WITH turbo boost or WITHOUT turbo boost anytime) > Change advance power settings > Pick the "Processor power management" > Pick the "Maximum processor state" and set to 99% and pick the "Processor performance boost mode" and set to Disabled.
    That's it and voila, for gaming, it's actually really useful, knowing that most games are GPU bound, so lowering CPU performance isn't that bad, its even make higher performance you got for some games. Though ofc this technique is not recommended for CPU bound games such as Valorant.
