A few days ago, my new ASUS laptop arrived from amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0869JVMLY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). I ordered this laptop for two reasons— to be sustainable and powerful enough to last through four years of college, and to do some gaming on the side (csgo and valorant). While the laptop itself is fast and works great, there is one major flaw that I've found that completely ruins my purchase. After an hour or two of gaming, the computer gets very hot (85 degrees C for the processor and 75 degrees for the graphics card, according to Speccy), and will either go into hibernation mode or shut down entirely. Although I'm not sure whether or not this is a laptop defect with the order or if the laptop design itself is just not meant for extended periods of gaming, this is for sure a major problem and I'm considering getting a full refund for this product.
I'm making this post to ask you all if anyone else has had any problems similar to this (the laptop shutting itself down after an hour of gaming) and if it can be fixed within the laptop system itself. If this is just the fault of the laptop overheating, then I will most likely return it because it does not bode well for longevity to have it overheating now.
If it is an overheating problem, does anyone know of any other laptops with similar specs to this one that has enough fans to prevent overheating when playing games? While I'd be comfortable getting a gaming laptop, I would prefer a laptop that isn't overbearing on the eye so I can take it to class for notes.
Thank you all so much!
