Help With A CPU

[TaiseiUki_]

I Have An i7-7700HQ @ 2.8Ghz

 

My Question Is: After Redoing The Thermal Paste, I Am Seeing Tempertures On The Package Up To 85-90°C In Games Like PUBG.

However Each Core Is Running 60-70°C.

The Laptop Stays Hot And And Has A Sitting Temperture Of 53-61°C Idle.

 

Are These Temps Too High? And How Do I Keep Them Down?

 

Keep In Mind, I Live In Texas And It's 100°F Outside Right Now

Those temps are fine.

the ambient temp is not helping things.  and maybe you didnt get a good application?

I Have Done Thermal Paste Before With No Problem. It Was Getting Temps A Lot Higher  Until I Redone It But I See Everywhere My Temps Are Supposed To Be About 60°C While Gaming.

in a pc, not a laptop lol laptop sacrifice cooling for mobility

Undervolt your CPU. With Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. That helps a lot. If you have good contact, you shouldn't go above 70-75 in games. But what you've told us leads me to believe that the contact between the heatsink and CPU isn't good or the thermal paste sucks. Because you should see a reduction, and idle temps shouldn't be above 45. And 85-90C spikes in games with those clocks with that CPU and new thermal paste? Way too high.

Maybe not all cores have good contact? What's the average CPU temp when gaming with heavy CPU usage? Because if you hover around 70-75 on average, that's completely fine and you're doing good. I'd undervolt it still, if you haven't already. It helps a lot, 7700HQ doesn't need the voltage that 's applied to it from factory.

It Stays Between 70-75 On Most Getting To 80-82 On Heavier Games. However, I Just Undervolted It -0.150 And It Seems Stable So After A 20 Minute Stress Test I Will Pull Up PUBG And See Where My Temps Are

-150mv is pretty much max for 7700HQ. Do an extensive stress test and observe your laptop for any random crashes and bluescreens. But undervolting should greatly impact your temps. 

I though my ran fine with -90mv (i7-4710HQ), because it didn't crash when stress testing. But it had random crashes and wasn't truly stable until I increased the voltage to -65mv. You'll see how it turns out for you, but kaby lake should do fine with -150mv offset.

That Is Why I Am Using PUBG, It's A Pretty Hefty Title So It Tells Me Pretty Quick If It Is Going To Work

Everything Is Solved Now, The Biggest Factor Was Ambient Temperture. I Have It Under Load Now At 55° Running At 3.6Ghz.

 

The Combination Of Ambient, Repaste, And Undervolting Dropped It 25°.
