Posted January 30, 2022 No. You shoudnt leave it outside. Apart from condensation and other issues, system components like the screen and battery can be damaged if they stay at those temperatures. CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 @ 4.4GHz 1.2v / GPU: MSI Radeon RX 5700 Mech OC GP (5700XT Bios) @ 2GHz / MB: Asus ROG Strix B450-F / RAM: Kingston HyperX 16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16 / CASE: MSI MAG Vampiric 010X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 30, 2022 You will kill your laptop via condensation. Stop doing this immediately and let it dry for a couple days. Also most hardware is not rated for those temperatures at all so you'll end up with a dead laptop very soon. Also gaming laptops won't thermal throttle if you buy the right ones. Aka the ones that don't skip on cooling. They can still be very thin and light but just have to be made well and configured with the right hardware.

Posted January 30, 2022 Weird thing is I also got the exact same thought but thinking again, it's risky so don't try it. You can own a laptop cooler for like 100-150 TL which really helps, as I also used one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely just lifing the back of the laptop up is what is causing the temps to drop dramatically. Those fans basically do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those fans basically do nothing. For example, I'm gaming on CS:GO. Playing at 1080p medium, it starts at 130 fps average but by time, it decreases to 70 or 50 fps, and I get a lot of lags. I opt a laptop cooler, and now I'm getting stable 130 fps (sometimes 150 fps). Can't say they don't do anything. It will not do anything if the laptop is throttling at low temperature. It's cold, so nothing to be cooled. It will work on hot laptops (my CPU gets to 95C for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is that the fans don't do anything on those coolers. Because most of the time the issue is just air intake and lifting the back of a laptop up fixes that. Which is what those coolers do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
