PC Tempuratures....

[Matsurii]

Hello everyone! New member of the forums! I have a question....is It okay for my laptop  to be at these temperatures?

Are those temperatures normal or not? If not, how do I lower the temperature? 

Specs:

Laptop: HP Notebook - 15-bw011dx

Processor: AMD A6-9220 RAEDON R4,5 COMPUTE CORES 2C+3G 2.50 GHz (up to 2.9 GHz burst frequency, 1 mb cache)

Memory and storage: 4.00 GB (3.89 GB usable) 500 GB HDD storage 

Battery: 3-cell, 31 Wh Li-ion, 45 W AC power adapter

(It sucks to have a low spec pc )

Normal temps.

 

If its under 100c its fine.  Laptops run hotter than desktops by a bit as well.

is that while on load or idle?

 

usually laptop will start to shutdown at 90 degrees

if that is on load then it's okayish, but if that is on idle you can easily hit 90 degrees while on load.

 

get laptop cooler

Its HWInfo so those numbers are...

current, min, max

80 plus on the gpu at low load (81 degrees c on 34% seems a tad high.. though not much you can do to cool it ekstra.. changing the thermal paste might work, or if you are an unhinged maniac, you could use liquid metal.. 

otherwise keep it free for dust and it might help to give it a little gap underneath so it can breathe better, for instance putting your laptop halfway on top of a book so there is a gap between the bottom of the laptop and surface it rests on for better airflow

Its 80c at 100% load.

current - min - max

 

So mid-high 50's at idle, that is 100% normal for a laptop.

 

My i5-7300HQ idles at ~50c, but my laptops fans do not idle down all the way and is always pretty noisy (gaming laptop).

 

Tho OP has a normal home use laptop, most of which are tuned to be more quiet than cool running.

if it stays around 80 when the GPU is under 100% load, that should be fine.. in OPs post, you can see that GPU utilization is 31% at 81c.. CPU has 100% utilization so that\s fine, but since the gpu is not under 100% load, the temperature could creep up with more load being put on the GPU..

That is not how HWInfo works.  Look at the other data, 82c max temp with 100% load.

Being an APU, the GPU temp will always be close to the CPU temp as well.

 

You dont know if it was under load before the screenshot and laptops like this one ($300 and under) take awhile to cool down.

point was you can\t claim that it is 80c at 100% load if nothing of the information correlates it.. you can assume it, but it doesn\t make it true..

and are you claiming that HWinfo records min&max values, but changes them or something before showing results? i mean since it says max value of 31% GPU utilization and not 100% or even close to it.. the CPU has 100% load so it is/was doing something, only not taxing the GPU more than 31%

The CPU and GPU are on the same chip.  Look further up and the CPU max load is 100% with 82c max temp.

 

Power management will shift CPU/GPU frequencies around to maintain a specific temp and power draw over the whole chip.  If CPU is at 100% and no GPU power is needed, the frequency of the GPU is kept low, but it will be the same temp as the CPU.  Likewise, when the GPU is loaded down with work, the CPU cores will clock down but still be similar in temp to the GPU even though they are using less power.

 

The fan likely will not even speed up much until 85c, ensuring that die temps are pretty consistent across its different areas.

so 31% or around there is max load for that gpu? i'm just wondering how you can claim it is 80c at 100% when gpu utilization is not 100%? neither you nor I know if a gpu heavy app was run before the results were taken.. but seeing that HW info has recorded usage of 100% CPU load and only 31% GPU at peak, i dare say that 31% GPU was all that was used..
what if he runs a program that taxes the GPU to utilize more than approx 30% when cpu is at 100%? does the remaining 69% result in absolutely no temperature change?

Because they are physically the same device.

 

No, it will not change temps.  The CPU will downclock to reduce total chip power and total thermal output will remain the same.

I have an older APU laptop, it idles at 70c and hits ~90c under CPU load (high CPU clocks, low GPU clocks) or GPU load (low CPU clocks, high GPU clocks).  If you use both CPU clocks go down a bit from max turbo and GPU clocks go down a bit from max turbo, temps remain the same.  CPU and "GPU" temps are always within 5c of eachother.

 

Intel is the same way with iGPU temps.  Even with iGPU disabled the temp sensor is always within 5-10c of the CPU cores.
