Hello everyone, I recently bought an MSI PRESTIGE 15 A11SCS-433IT Intel® Core ™ 15.6 '', I noticed that the temperatures of the notebook are quite high. When I play in assetto corsa (50/60% of power used) or even while I do a 5-minute stress test with occt the temperatures rise immediately and remain between 90 ° C and 98 ° C with peaks that reach even 100 ° C. I would like to know if this is normal and okay or if I have to worry .. the ambient temperature is 20 ° C, the notebook is raised and the notebook fan is at maximum.

Thanks

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Check and see if the laptop has any BIOS and MEI firmware updates pending. I'd also look into the OS, see if it's pending updates as well. Ideally you should be on Windows 10, version 21H2. As for the OS, bring up Task Manager and see what the resource usages are when at idle(just after booting into OS GUI). As for the laptop being raised, all you're going to need is a small eraser to prop up the back of the laptop where the hinge is in order for fresh, cooler ambient air to get into the venting.

As a side note, yes the temps on that laptop seem fine...though you need to run other titles to see if you're getting a consistent temperature. I'd also look into undervolting and see if you get better temps...
