I was just thinking about my CPU

[derpyplays007]

so yeah bassicly my CPU's average temp. goes up to 98-105 celcius without anything running and maybe up to 120-125 celcius with payday 2 running at mostly medium settings.
I wonder how to get it to a more "Normal" temp.
The highest i have recorded is 130 celcius without shutting down.
This computer is one heavy, strong beast when it gets to temp.

If its a desktop open the case and clean it out

 

[derpyplays007]

If its a desktop open the case and clean it out

Well the problem is that theven case can't be opened

 

[ThatVietGuy]

So, this is a laptop then?

Even then it can still be opened and cleaned.

Yes it's a laptop but the case can't be opened

There's no laptop that comes from a factory that's 100% sealed - that's just poor design.

What laptop is it.

Well your right but still, it's a very powerful computer if it can handle that much heat

 

[ThatVietGuy]

Then what is the make and model of this laptop?

 

[derpyplays007]

Should be a Hp pavilion z7 notebook, or at least it matches the specs and components

 

[ThatVietGuy]

What are the specs exactly? A Google search doesn't yield any results.

How long have you had the laptop?

Are you using it on a bed or other soft material or on something hard like a desk?

What's the ambient temp?

So it's a used laptop, don't know how long they had it and how they used it

I don't know the specs that much again, try searching hp pavilion Amd a4

I have always had it on either a desk or table

So that cpu is going 55c above it's maximum allowed temperature so I'm suprised it's not shutting down yet. Doing this for long will greatly decrease the lifetime of the laptop. This laptop can easily be taken apart if it's one of the standard hp pavilions since it just has screws on the back that you need to loosen and then pry it open carefully.

However you are not really giving us enough information since we still don't know the exact laptop (look for a sticker or model number o it somewhere).

I had my step dad look at it. We opened the screws and tried nearly everything to get it open, couldn't, there's no stickers on it indicating the pc besides "Amd processer" "pavilion" "hp" "beats" no other stinker og logo, nothing or actually a warning/claimants on the back

For a laptop that old I would expect it to be crammed full of dust. You can always shoot some compressed air in the ports to open them up.

It's not that old actually, I think it's a model from after 2014

And also if you want to see the secs on it:

Hope it helps a little, it should be that model, I tried research it

 

[ThatVietGuy]

You're still talking about a 2 year old (at least) used laptop. The previous owner could've used it in a dusty environment and now you're reaping the "benefits" of that.

[derpyplays007]

Yeah your probably right, but right now I'm concerned of the max temperature of it before bsod or the cpu exploding/smelting

Here's a disassembly guide - https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/HP+Pavilion+-+17+g173ca+Disassembly+to+access+RAM+and+Hard+drive/62710

Open it up and start cleaning.

Thank you 😉 I will start trying it tomorrow if I find time
