Don't let the number of heatpipes fool you: GE65 has worse CPU thermals compared to Y540 (if compared to my own database). Can't even cool 45w CPU heat with 50dBA auto fan speed. Even with max fan speed, the result is still worse than Y540 with lower max fan speed since it can cool 50w of CPU heat at around the same temp. GPU temp is better though despite using 90w variant, though this is kinda expected since it has 2070 option as well

    is there actually a laptop which runs its dedicated GPU at higher temperatures (if not similar) to their CPUs when both are at full blast?

    You mean CPU temp is kept low?

    Yes, pointless if both cooks :D

    I can easily push the CPU over 90c in any laptop if I wanted to (unless it has some crazily low BD PROCHOT or has VRM throttling), so there isn't one

    well... I really hope laptops start cooling both CPU and GPU equally well (not equal effort in both components) so CPU heavy games can be run with the hardware's fullest potential

    Currently trying -0.15V offset for my laptop with Speedshift set to 0 since I found out the higher the power draw of the CPU the more overly aggressive auto voltage gets (so with EPP at 168 I can use at most -0.112V). This laptop really needs extra vdroop so I could just use a lower (more negative) offset across the board

    Manufacturers tend to design heatsink that is 'just enough' to cool the components, therefore the margin to thermal throttling for CPU is usually small. Good models usually can cool around 50-55ish watt of CPU heat under heavy CPU+GPU load. Imagine they put in a heatsink that can handle 60+w CPU heat instead of 45w

    Problem is they then go on to fit seemingly 120w cooling system for 90w GPUs when CPUs get the 45w coolers.
