What is too hot?

[Sebas Klolk]

Heej everyone!

 

I bought a laptop for school and it's great. except when I game (or just intensive tasks) it gets easily up to 80-85 degrees celsius, both my cpu and gpu.

So my question is, what is too hot? And what are the consequences of high tempertures?

 

 

Thanks for reading!

Yep thats fine, the chipsare normally reated for 100c, and those temps won't do anything.

That is most certainly normal in a laptop. What some folks will do is undervolt their CPU to save some power which usually reduces temps a bit. Do a quick Google and you should find a workable solution for your CPU.

To answer your question: too high temperatures can shorten the lifespan of your hardware.
Laptops are generally prone to running hot, though. Don't be too afraid of overheating, your laptop will just thermal throttle if you're getting into dangerous territory.

Keep ventilation holes open. Laptops are generally hot, but your temps are fine. Too hot for CPU is over 90C, for GPU same.

Generally over 80C for both CPU and GPU is getting quite toasty. I'd go for an undervolt and if it's loud a cooling pad. While not good the temps are perfectly safe
