Hello,
My employer bought me a new work laptop with the following spec:
Chassis: Cosmos VI 15.6"
CPU: Core i7 7700HQ
RAM: 32GB (2x16GB)
GPU: GeForce GT 940MX
M.2 SSD: Samsung SM961 256GB
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64
Additionally, I am using a laptop cooling pad which improves greatly the airflow and lowers the temperatures, especially for the M.2 SSD which is located slightly off the main vents.
I am using it for software development, running a bunch of virtual machines and some intensive data processing.
When running some heavy tasks for a long time, it looks like the CPU is overheating - according to HWiNFO64 it reaches 96 degrees and according to HWMonitor it reaches 95 degrees (I saw more occasionally, but suspect it may be a bug in the monitoring tools).
Now, the question is - should I be worried about these CPU temps or it is normal for this CPU/chassis combination?
Here is a screenshot of the monitoring tools:
