intel ulv cpu overheat(3rd gen i3 3217u)

[limjialok20]

Hi, I have a Asus x202e while overheat to 90°c (via hwmoniter) when light gaming using Intel HD 4000...
I understand this laptop is not a gaming laptop but its temputure are really very high...I even change the thermal paste(mx-4) and it does not help...
I opened up the laptop and checked and there is no dust(laptop is only a few month old)

I found a bit of stuff out there suggesting these get quite hot.

Here is a potential fix (try it at your discretion):

Here is a similar thread showing how hot they get, but with no real solutions:

Personally If I was going to game on it I would consider one of those laptop docks that have some kind of cooling attachment.

Alternatively attaché the household vacuum cleaner to the laptop exhaust port ... LOL !!

The last suggestion was my attempt at humour after a long day with three engineers in my pod!!

Ohh, I see......I was considering a asus x555 to replace my Asus x202e, if Asus x202e has heating issue....should I continue with asus x555? Since only Asus high range laptop has better cooling system.... I also heard bad reviews about Acer and hp..

To be perfectly honest it doesn't have a heating issue ... it just wasn't meant for hardcore gaming ... and gets hot.

But my games are a light games like league of legends and blackshot... The cpu idles at 60°c
