troubleshooting 95 degree Celsius (203°F) CPU while gaming

[amx178]

Problem :-

When I play games my laptop CPU temperatures reaches up to 95 degree Celsius but CPU usage is only 20 to 30 % meanwhile my GPU temperature are only reaching up to 80 to 85 degree Celsius at 40 to 50 % usage

game I was playing Watch dogs 1 released in 2013 or 14.
settings at ultra and getting 78 to 110 fps.

Laptops aren't exactly cooling monsters

Seems likely normal for this laptop according to this review which gives it poor thermal performance and restrictive airflow.

You may also need to crank the fans up in Armory Crate to achieve decent thermals, but will sacrifice heavily on noise.

For thermal efficiency, you can customize the fans setting via the Armoury Crate app, giving you the option to set them to Windows, Silent, Turbo, Performance or Manual. So, for the most demanding games, you can set them to one of the highest settings to keep your laptop fairly cool. That’s because on Silent mode, the internals do get hot, with the CPU getting into the 90s Celsius and the GPU getting into the 70s. 

 

Setting them on Performance or Turbo, you obviously end up with better heat management – 70s Celsius for the CPU and 60s for the GPU. However, the fans also get pretty loud and blow hot air out the side and back. Be sure to keep your headphones handy and your external mouse a decent distance away when you’re about to play something intensive. Luckily, while the keyboard does heat up while gaming and may get a little uncomfortable to use, we've definitely experienced worse

Seems normal for that laptop.

Hi 

Thanks everyone giving me so quick reply 

 

but in every reply I got one thing in common that it is normal for touching this temperature for my laptop 

 

and in one of the reply I got from Skiiwee29  , I got some links that shows it is normal for hitting these temperatures , but for this much old game like watch dogs 1 which was released in 2013 or 14 and only getting 100 fps is this normal?????

It's also poorly optimized, so I'm not surprised to see 100fps on max settings 1080p. I get like 70fps on an RX470 on medium and I recall dipping to 20fps on max.

Age doesn't really matter as long as it puts your GPU under enough stress,which it does.
