Dell G7 17 GPU temps

[Anon1799]

Hi,

 

I am slightly concerned about my laptops temps whilst on idle.

 

On Idle, my cores average around the low to mid 40's. However My GPU averages anywhere between 50-56.

My specs:
i7 9750h
RTX 2070 Max-q Design
16GB Ram

I have read many conficting things on various forums. Most people say 50-56 is fine for a laptop GPU temp whilst idling. However, some say it is slightly a bit too much for average temps whilst idling.

Would anyone say this is normal? If not, what methods could I do to make it cooler. I have read about Laptop cooling pads, but they seem not to improve things by much. Would a smimple stand for the laptop make the GPU cooler?

Thanks.

Idle temps do not matter. Only load values are relevant. Tech can idle at 20, it can idle at 60 - it depends on a dozen factors and is largely irrelevant as everything under 87 is safe for Nvidia.

Thanks for the reply.

Under heavy load I believe the GPU does reach temps of around 65, maybe 70 but im not too sure. I know for certain it has never reached into the 80's.

I am still considering using a stand but am not sure as of yet.

you do not need one. What are your CPU temps?

 

I would actually say that is less then most desktop PCs

My CPU idles at around 39-47.

Under heavy load I have not tested it recently, however I would asume it would be anywhere between 50-65.

If you can keep a laptop CPU under load under 65C colour me impressed.

I dont have any games installed on my laptop currently, so just guessing. It's probably more towards 70.
