Laptop temperatures

[ORESTISPC]

Hey there i recently got my new gaming laptop with a i7 4710mq and gxt 860m and i notice (using msi afterburner) that when i play a game like fc3 i get 60 fps on high and my gpu reaches 75-79 c under a 99 % load and my cpu reaches about 88-90 celcius are these temps safe ? or not

 

[SpyderTracks]

That's about right under load I'd say.

can i hear any others opinion?

Same as SpyderTracks, no issues. You can also search in the forum for other responses in previous threads.

I also agree. My temps are similar.

 

[PlayStationMike]

Get a decent cooling pad with 5 fans and you can lower the temp by few degrees.

wow i was just about to get a new laptop with the same CPU and GPU as you have .... i will be looking for something else because i would not be happy with temps like that

a gaming laptop will have high temperatures due to limited cooling.

I have been playing a demanding MineCraft map recently, and my CPU was hitting 97°C. Should I be concerned by this either? I was using the method described here to check the temperature.

Sorry to hijack the thread btw!

I'd be more concerned with high 90's. What's your spec?

I have a Cosmos II, spec below:


Chassis & Display
Cosmos Series: 15.6" Matte Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080)
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-4710MQ (2.50GHz) 6MB
Memory (RAM)
8GB KINGSTON SODIMM DDR3 1600MHz (1 x 8GB)
Graphics Card
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 850M - 2.0GB DDR3 Video RAM - DirectX® 11
1st Hard Disk
Change to: 750GB WD SCORPIO BLACK WD7500BPKX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 16MB CACHE (7200 rpm)
Thermal Paste
ARCTIC MX-4 EXTREME THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY COMPOUND
Sound Card
Intel 2 Channel High Definition Audio + MIC/Headphone Jack
Wireless/Wired Networking
GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS INTEL® N-7260 (300Mbps, 802.11BGN) + BLUETOOTH


I'll send PC Specialist an email to see whether I should request an RMA. Originally I had a Core i5 and the standard thermal paste, I later upgraded the spec to the i7 and Arctic Silver, I hope they remembered the paste upgrade although they did remember the CPU!

 

[keynes]

if the thermal paste is in your order I am sure it has been done.

 

[selbster]

is this sat on your lap at all? or on a surface. If it was on a surface then yea i would expect lower temps. i play titanfall on full whack and hit 67c through gpu and cpu, whilst its not under full load through the cpu its still at high 80% use. its worth noting that before i reapplied my own paste afterwards i was hitting 84c on my gpu. just something for you to think about. Mind you I have a vortex 4 with gtx770m gpu and i7 at 2.4ghz cpu. just my opinion but id think about reapplying padte and checking vents arnt clogged.

 

[fin3rz]

It is sat on my desk so they should be no restriction to airflow. I have only had the laptop for 3 and a bit weeks, so I doubt the vents would be clogged (though I'm not sure how long it would take for dust to build up).

EDIT: False Alarm!!! Script I was using seems to show 97°C regardless of the actual temperature. I've now downloaded CoreTemp which should be way more reliable!
