Hello guys
I have bought last week my Defiance V from PCS for the first time and is running amazingly. I am just not sure about the temperatures of both CPU/GPU. I have tested it playing The Crew 2 and I got those results:
It does not matter if the specs are low or ultra, I have noticed that the performance is not very much affected:
WITHOUT turbo boost:
67 degrees for both gpu and cpu after like 5 minutes of play
WITH turbo boost:
86 degrees cpu 71 degrees gpu after like 5 minutes of play
I was monitoring the temperatures using the Control Center 2.0 provided.
Is it better keep the laptop with the turbo disabled? It does affect very very little the performance (for what I've noticed) or should I keep it on?
If I keep it on, almost always is in turbo mode over the 2.2Ghz base frequency and the laptop gets hot quite fast, even when in idle with no big background operations. Is it normal?
What is the safe temperature it should have under heavy load and should not go over? I have read is around 85 but I am not sure if is right.
What is the temperature it should have when in idle?
Temperatures are generally much lower when turbo boost is disabled.
ps I am also using a cooler with 3 small fans.
