CPU and GPU temperature too high

[Crazyjoe909]

 

I have a HP Omen 17-an053nr with i7 7700hq and gtx 1070. My cpu temp gets to 97 Celsius and my gpu gets high as well "dont remember the exact temp". I do a lot of gaming and folding@home when not gaming or using. What can I do besides applying better thermal paste? I also heard of undervolting, but I'm unsure what's the lowest I can set can set it at without effecting my gaming or folding@home. Please  help thank you.

Have you tried cleaning your laptop?

I googled some reviews and it does sound a toasty laptop in general.

During our stress test, CPU core temperatures were around 90 °C (maximum specified core temperature: 100 °C). The CPU throttled from 3.8 to 3.1 GHz. The GPU reached around 70 °C and throttled as well (around 1.2 GHz).

If you've had it a while then as you say, dust, thermal paste, undervolting, all possible options to look at.

Bear in mind that something like F@H is pretty much a stress test, its going to push your hardware harder than pretty much any other workload so is particularly prone to hitting high temps on laptops.

Thanks for the information.

Would you happen to know what's the lowest voltage on my cpu without effecting my gaming or F@H?

That's the thing with under-volting, it varies from CPU to CPU, some might not under-volt at all.

I've never messed with it myself as its so time consuming reducing the voltage a little, test for stability, reduce it a bit more, since and repeat until its no longer stable then increase it back up to the lowest stable voltage.
