Hi!
I got a gaming laptop from PC Specialist in 2017. I've recently started playing Red Dead Online and noticed the laptop gets very hot i.e.
GPU temperature of 84 degrees Celsius and CPU temperature of 97 degrees Celsius. The max for CPU appearantly is 100 degrees so 97 is quite close to the max.
CPU/GPU usage is about 80%/90-100%
Details:
- CPU Intel I7 7700HQ
- Graphics card GeForce® GTX 1060 - 6.0GB GDDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 12.1
- 8GB RAM
- Windows 10
- 15.6"
Steps I've taken so far:
- Cleaned the airflow outputs/vents; didnt reduce temp
- Significantly lowered graphics settings; didnt reduce temp or usage
- Limited CPU cores from 7 to 3 in Task Manager; reduced usage to 50%/80% but didn't reduce temp
Anyone have any advice for me, are these temperatures really a problem in the long run and if so, what more can I do to reduce it?
Change in settings or recommend any good cooling pads?
Thanks in advance!
NB I should add the game runs fine, no drops in frame rate and no crashes (yet)
