I recently bought a brand new Asus GL502VM laptop, which after a few weeks developed a fault. I have been through the Asus RMA process and now have the laptop back; it appears they've replaced the CPU.
All working fine, however, I've been monitoring the temperatures using RealTemp, and they seem to be very high. When I'm using Unity or having a play with a VR headset the CPU temperatures are above 90 degrees, I've even hit a high of 98 on one of the cores. Interestingly even when idle I see that the CPU temp can fluctuate between 45 and 75 within a few seconds. For info, the GPU temperatures don't seem to be an issue reaching around 80 degrees max.
I don't think this is normal for a CPU, and am worried it will have a short life! So wanted to check on the forums here before contacting Asus again, or perhaps even getting a refund and going for a different model.
Spec: i7-7700, GTX 1060, 16Gb Ram running Windows 10.
Thanks!
