Hello PC Specialist forum.
I bought recently (18/9) a custom laptop from the site. The laptop is 15.6" Proteus II with GTX 970M, 8GB of ram and Artic MX-4 Extreme thermal paste.
The problem is that the CPU (and only the CPU) runs too hot. When playing GTA 5 on high settings it goes up to 97c while the pc also restarted twice so far because of the temperatures. The gaming time is equal or less of that of an hour.
Now you will say that GTA 5 is a pretty demanding game, but it's not the only game that i get high temperatures. BF4 (demanding i know) is another example and today Rocket League, which i believe it's not that demanding, managed to get my temperatures up to 94c in around 30 minutes!
A Firestrike benchmark test on 3DMark pushes the temperatures up to 90c.
The idle temperatures are between 40-44c, but they do get down to 38-39 sometimes.
Are these temperatures normal? Has anyone had this laptop before and can share with me his experience?
I am thinking that maybe the thermal paste was not applied properly?
For comparison, another friend of mine who got a laptop (not from this site and it was not custom) but has the exact same CPU as mine, on GTA 5 with maxed out graphics his CPU temps never exceed 78c.
GPU is fine, the hottest i saw it running was 74c.
I am running Windows 10.
Thanks for any answers.
