Hello,

I have a question about the temperatures of my CPU in my Dell XPS 15.

When running the pre-boot diagnostics from Dell from the BIOS, the external CPU sensor reports a temperature of 92 °C to 97 ° C max during the CPU and RAM stress tests.

Will running this stress test cause damage to my CPU? I looked up the max temperature of my particular CPU, and it says 100 °C (Link to ark.intel.com page). So far, the system hasn't shut down on me yet.

I know my laptop (and most laptops in general) doesn't have the best cooling solution out there, but shouldn't the temperatures be lower? When idle, the temperatures are 40 °C - 55°C.


Thank you very much in advance.
 
Solution
laptops will always run hot. 100 is the temp it will shutdown at to prevent damage. as long as it works there is nothing to worrie about cpu's are hard to damage
