Good gaming laptop temperatures for long life?

[Saahir Firdoz Rajab]

Hello. Hope you are well.

I purchased a Dell Inspiron 7559 last year November (i7 6700hq, 8gb ram, 960m(4GB) and 1TB HDD) I must say that I am impressed with its performance in most respects. I'm just a bit concerned about the temperatures. All recordings below are in Celsius

When playing GTA V
CPU=81 degrees max, 75 degrees average
GPU=77 degrees max, 70 degrees average

FIFA 17
CPU=73 degrees max, 68 degrees average
GPU=72 degrees max, 66 degrees average

Are these temperatures good for long life of components? (4 years atleast)

I have my maximum processor state set to 90% and I play on a flat surface.

I also want to add that when I first got the laptop, I placed it directly on my lap, which resulted in temperatures of around 100 degrees on the CPU and GPU for around 2 weeks. Would this affect the life span? Or was the period too short for it to do harm?

Idle temperatures are around 35-40 degrees on both CPU and GPU

thanx for your help

temps are good,  (I assume you use celcius?) no worry

 

but what you said about 100 degrees is not good. the max tempature of your cpu is 100 degrees.

Hi

Thanks for the reply

Yes, it is in Celsius

 

Yes it hit 100 degrees for the first two weeks, I then looked at where my intake vents are and realized why it was getting so hot. I then started placing it on a flat surface and my temperatures have been between 60-80 degrees at load ever since. So lets hope it lasts
