i'm very concerned about my laptop's temperature

[othmanmtsm]

Hello everyone,

i just got a pavilion 15 gaming laptop with an i5-9300H CPU, i don't really wanna use it for gaming, but i tried out a few, and the CPU temperature seemed really high (between 80 and 90 Celsius) and sometimes it hits 95-96 .

I don't know if this is normal for a laptop since the body is pretty thin to properly cool all the component and the max temp for the CPU is 100C, so if someone can give me any information about this i'd appreciate it.

thank you,

PS: my room temperature is somewhere between 30 and 38 C

Looks normal for a thin laptop. Also, your room temp is around 30-38c? Wtf? That is not normal.

well i live in morocco, it gets pretty hot in the summer, and thank you for the reply ✌

That's a pretty normal temperature for a laptop unfortunately. It is pretty common for laptops to hit the maximum temperature for the CPU (100c) and start to thermal throttle.

Every powerful laptop will basically run the CPU to the red line under load. Obviously that's not an issue since they don't fail.

pavilion is thin so it makes everything worse. usually it go to maximum 80C. since its thin 95C it acceptable. Lower clock your CPU.

Back in the day my Inspiron 1500 (Yeah like 13 years ago) did the same thing. I found a USB fan cooler that went beneath it and sucked the hot exhaust away. It helped so much and allowed me to game on it! I would look into one of those to help out.

Doesn't it reduce their lifetime a lot though?

Are you hearing about laptops failing left and right with dead CPUs? Nope...

All the Apple laptops run the CPUs as hot as they go under load, and while they have lots of design issues this hasn't been one.

won't it affect the warranty ?

i'll give them a look, thank you
