Hi, I have a Predator Triton 300 with an i7 10th gen and an rtx 2070.
When idle, the CPU sits at around 50-60 and sometimes goes up to 80 but then right back down. But when gaming, the CPU goes up to 90 degrees and sits there, even with only 10-17% CPU usage. The GPU stays at around 60-70.
When rendering audio and video files, however, the CPU usage goes all the way up to 50% but the temps stay at around 70 -80 degrees, spiking to 90 only a few times per render. I can't figure out why this happens, and it is really annoying as according to Intel XTU I get thermal throttling almost all the time while gaming and even sometimes while idling but when rendering audio and video it doesn't thermal throttle as much. I understand that I shouldn't expect much in terms of cooling from a Triton 300, but this seems very strange regardless of how good a laptop's cooling is. Also, due to a security flaw in the bios, voltage adjustment was disabled on all versions of the bios. So undervolting is not an option for me.
