Safe Temps for Laptop

[SpeedyBoJangles]

Hi everyone, 

 

I recently bought a new ultra-thin notebook for school and some light Call of Duty and Battlefield when I am at school away from my desktop. It has an AMD A-10 5757M and a Radeon 8750M I was playing Battlefield 4 on it the other day and when finished checked HW Monitor and my CPU temp was 134 C (273 F) I was wondering if this should be something to worry about as it idles at 110 C when in in high performance mode (3.5 GHz) and around 90 C when in power save mode (1.4 GHz) The bottom of the laptop gets way to hot to touch without hurting myself when gaming. Are these temps ok or should I return it to Amazon?

 

I would like to add that performance doesn't degrade even know its running so hot, I am able to keep a rock solid 60 FPS in Battlefield at low settings (ultra textures) at 720p

does the fan spin up?

134c is extremely hot. Especially for an AMD cpu. I don't think it should be that warm and if it is that hot it should have shut itself off by now.

Those are dangerous levels of heat. Check to make sure the fans are spinning, and the intake isnt obstructed (i.e. no dust or something blocking). Otherwise, yeah probably send it back. 

 

^Also, yeah like Shady said, it should have auto shut off at those temps.

Ya the fan spins up, the thing sounds like an old XBOX 360, it hasn't shut itself down yet. Ive checked around online and apparently the max safe temps for this CPU is 100 C. its brand new so there is no dust buildup and I was playing on a wooden desk. Im going to try a few other applications to montor temps to see if HW Monitor is reporting temps incorrectly (probably not though) it says the integrated GPU (8650G) is at 54 C though which does not make sense to me if they are on the same chip.

Holy sht that's way too hot.... You shouldn't be on that laptop it's probably gonna melt

[Fate]

That's if the temperatures are correct.... try a different monitoring program

[SpeedyBoJangles]

Ok, I tried running AIDA64 (CPU & GPU tests at the same time) and it is reporting between 60-64 C on the CPU while HW Monitor is reporting double that. Going to try a few more applications just to make sure.

Hmmm. Speccy is reporting the same as HW Monitor... not sure which to believe, after all HW Monitor did say my FX 8350 was at -14 C once  :huh:

How about trying RealTempGT?

[SpeedyBoJangles]

RealTemp works for Intel only

Ok so I used AMD's official utility (AMD Overdrive) and it reports temps 60-65 degrees so I think I will have to believe the official utility for my CPU
