Laptop temperatures?

[Prokart2000]

Hi everyone

 

So I just got my new laptop for uni on a primeday deal with an i7-8750h and a 1060 but I worried with the processor temps. I did a run on valley extreme hd and one of the cores got to 99c. I know that is more extreme than gaming but it is a little worrying. 

 

I thinking of getting a laptop cooling pad to see if that helps anything but do you recommend anything else? I've seen you can undervolt but will this void my warranty at all? I also saw that you can turn the processor state down but apparently the clock speeds go down alot then.

 

Thanks for any suggestions

No. Undervolting doesn't have any real risk to damaging hardware.

I understand it has no risk but I know brands are very picky when it comes to changing things. It's an Asus if that helps, are they known for being picky with things like that?

I don't think this is something they'd care about.

 

I mean, if someone's going to void a warranty for running something still within spec and has zero risk, they're a terrible company.

Whats ASUS gonna get mad at your about if nothing goes wrong? You are undervolting it.

 

Usually manufacturers have ways to tell if you have pumped too much voltage into a processor. They have no way of knowing that you have undervolted it. Unless if there is some chip that constantly monitors voltages, forever. Which is highly unlikely due to the cost needed to put that on every laptop they sell, and how few people mess with laptops.

Sounds like a fair point, the GPU temps were under 80c but all the cpu packages were above 90c. Apart from undervolting is there anything else I could try? I don't think it running that hot all it's life is very healthy correct me if I'm wrong

Which model?

 

Undervolt will not void warranty. Clock speed will go up

 

Cooling pad is basically useless unless you go for higher end ones which are expensive
