CPU overheating troubles

[CJpro2]

Hey.

My laptops AMD Phenom II N970 quad core CPU reaches 100.1 degrees Celsius just play playing minecraft and being in a skype call. I don't even know whether it is over clocked or not.

[vlkn´]

same problem in windows?

[CJpro2]

what do you mean same problem?

[vlkn´]

does the cpu overheat in idle in windows, no programs running?

[CJpro2]

no it reaches about 68 degrees

[vlkn´]

I guess you have to replace the old cpu cooler, you´re using the stock one that came with your cpu, or am I wrong?

Yazz I was wrong

[CJpro2]

its a laptop so its kinda hard to replace a cooler

oh haha should´ve thought about that. sry

activate vsync and go over the air intakes and exhaust with a vacuum cleaner.

Maybe you need to replace the thermal paste, but I´m the wrong person to ask for how to go on with this.

i even have one of those cooling pads and i even have a fan sucking air out of the exhaust even then it gets to 100 degrees

It's a laptop afterall. Time to use the /r/buildapc catch phrase "BUILD A PC". 

[CJpro2]

Some people might not have loads of  money to spend on a pc. Just because i dont have a pc doesnt mean that you need to patronise me.

Isn't the TJ Max around 65C?

[CJpro2]

whats TJ max

how long have it been since you did some maintenance work?

either bring to a laptop fixing service, or you can do yourself, 

1. remove the back panel of the laptop to access the cpu,
2. remove the heat sink, and clean off the thermal paste off the heatsink and chip,
3. clean the heat sink fan/ all the fans
4. reapply the thermal paste
5. put everything back

whats TJ max

maximum temp the cpu gets to untill it shuts off

[MeepLikesToBuildPc's]

i had an AMD  turion laptop, tj max was 126 degrees :0

[CJpro2]

i have no clue what the Tj of my cpu is somewhere over 100 degrees

[Tedster]

Isn't the TJ Max around 65C?

No, it's an AMD CPU and it's a mobile processor. Following those criteria the TJ max would be the motherboard having trouble with it.

Laptops are designed that way. 

But I don´t like the idea that I can boil water with them ~.~

[CJpro2]

me either thats why i am asking this

Laptops are not designed to run at 100C.

[vlkn´]

Laptops are not designed to run at 100C.

They are not DESIGNED to run 100°C.

Yep I got it, but they can get this hot without explodin´ and all dis michael bay stuff.

They´re also allowed to get hotter than the desktop variants.

you can actually get a pc capable of running mincraft at comfterable fps and resolution for as little as 350$-400$

 

to get back to the issue, if you feel the laptop itself, does it feel really hot? it might just be the temp reader that somehow broke... if it is actually getting this hot, i'd advice you to replace the thermal paste, either by opening it yourself and cleaning the existing off with a cloth drenched in alcohol and applying a small dot of high quality thermal compound, or by taking it to a local hardware repair shop (though not all shops will do this for you..)

if i touch the left hand side of the laptop its quite hot
