Laptop heating too much!

[Mauri_JHN]

HI, for some time I have experienced really dangerous temperatures with my gaming laptop (CPU: 95C & GPU: 93C) while playing any game, graphics demanding or not, I have tried changing the thermal paste on both chips but nothing changed. I would appreciate if anyone can give me any ideas of why this is happening. My laptop is acer v15 nitro black edition:

• CPU: i7-4720HQ @ 2.60GHz with 8 logical processors
• Video card: gtx 960m 4GB gddr5 
• RAM: 8GB ddr3

Thanks in advance

High temps certainly aren't unheard of with laptops, they (that is, laptop manufacturers) generally undershoot the cooling needed (intentionally) in favor of lower weight, lower noise, and better battery life.

 

You can always get an external laptop cooler.

Acers aren't that great in cooling from what I have heard.

kinda your own fault since you bought a Acer laptop. The best thing you can do is to get a really powerful laptop cooler or sell the laptop. You can also change the thermal paste that will maybe help a little, but you will void the warranty.
