Question Laptop heating issue ?

[Yokai95]

So I recently purchased a ROG Zephyrus G14 (2023) GA402NJ laptop on which I am facing a heating issue.
I did reinstall Windows.

Specs are as follows-

CPU​

AMD Ryzen™ 7 7735HS Mobile Processor (8-core/16-thread, 16MB L3 cache, up to 4.7 GHz max boost)

Graphics
NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 Laptop GPU
ROG Boost: 1782MHz* at 95W (1732MHz Boost Clock+50MHz OC, 80W+15W Dynamic Boost)*

RAM
8GB DDR5 on board + 8GB DDR5 4800Mh

What do you mean "heating issue"? What temps are you seeing?

Hi again @hotaru.hino

Rn I am using normal stuff for around 45mins like useing 3-4 excel file, around 8 chrome tabs, some music. Thats it. And I am seeing this in task manager-

AMD radeon grap is showing 45°C with 1 to 5 % use.
Dedicated GPU is at 0% use
and
CPU is at 1 to 2 % use.

All of that is fine.
Laptops run hotter than desktops.
Especially when on your lap or bed.
As soon as you place it on a soft surface the bottom vents get covered=no cooling.

Your uptime is one day and 38 minutes not 45 minutes.
So are you putting the laptop to sleep instead of shut down?
If so this will shorten battery life.

Seconded, this is fine and expected. I've had an earlier version of the laptop and it didn't kick on the fans until the CPU's temperature hits a certain point. Also, most temperature reporting apps for Ryzen CPUs only report the hottest part of the CPU, not the average. So if you're using one of these, then it's expect to see it go up to 80-90C for a second or so even if you're doing light tasks.

Unless OP is keeping it unplugged during that time, it won't. In addition, the laptop probably hibernates after an hour or two.

Did you do anything to kick in the fans? I don't think my fans kick in either.

No.

Also 45C is fine. The thermal "throttling" temperature is at 100C for this part. And even then, silicon chips don't get into the catastrophic failure territory until around 160C.
