Yeah, I solved the heating by capping the CPU & GPU. Before I set it to render many hours I disable turbo on the CPU (throttlestop) & limit the GPU frequency (Afterburner). Both CPU Package & GPU are not heating up above 63c so I guess this is an OK temp for +10 hours of processing non-stop?

I think I found what's making my CPU hot - the Intel iGPU. Whenever it kicks-in the CPU package temp raises. I can clearly see that the cores temperatures are stable and then the package temp raises in 20c when the iGPU starts processing. I cannot shut down or disable the iGPU as the RTX 2070...

thanks, I understand that higher temps are expected in Gaming Laptops. When I create 3D animations I do need the extreme power. But when I leave the computer to calculate the animation for hours I don't want the extreme heat and I can wait a bit longer if needed. That's why I reduced the CPU's...

I'm rendering 3D animations for >10 hours at a time on a laptop: Asus GL704GW (i7-8750H & RTX 2070). The CPU is reaching 95°C when on Balanced power plan and 86°C when on silent - not a good practice for long hours imo. So, I created a power plan where I limit the "Maximum Processor State" to...
