[SOLVED] CPU Temperature Above 90° When Gaming

[mahdi_88]

Hello all!
So I got this Asus F571GT Laptop with an i5 8300h, gtx1650, 16gb ram and 512SSD
The performance I get from it on daily uses and even in gaming is pretty much satisfying for me.
But, the one thing that is concerning me is the high temperatures that my laptop reaches when I launch any game,
I mostly play DayZ and CSGO though, and I know that these games are CPU intensive, but I don't think my i5 8300h should be at 90-97° Celsius..
And the GPU temperature ranges between 70-85° Celsius.

Please let me know your ideas and thanks in advence!

Unfortunately this is pretty common on gaming laptops. You can look into undervolting and maybe reducing all core boost speed. I added some taller rubber feet to lift my G5 higher off the table and that seemed to make a few degrees difference but the big help was undervolting.

Thank you for the fast reply mate,
About undervolting, I've been thinking of this for a while but didn't have the guts to actually do it, as I'm afraid of damaging the pc, do you think it's really worth it, and can an inexperienced person like me, successfully do it with no risk?

Actually decreasing the cores and threads would be a lot easier and safer if that's your concern, also you can run the CPU at base speed which decreases the heat.

Undervolting is completely safe itself. However some laptops may require you to use and older BIOS version as newer BIOS’s usually lock out undervolting.

You can run base speed and it will significantly reduce heat but it will also significantly reduce performance. I found dropping 300mhz off the 5 and 6 core boost speeds of my 9750h helped temperatures with no noticeable performance loss.
