I have a Lenovo Y540-15IRH laptop with an RTX 2060 and a I7-9570H, and when I play Forza Horizon 4, the average CPU temperature (according to Intel XTU) is 90°C (varying between 88 and 93), with a lot of both thermal throttling and power limit throttling (almost constantly). My CPU is undervolted at -155 mV. I lifted the back of my laptop +- 7 cm for airflow. The ambient temperature is around 26 degrees. The clock speed goes from 4 GHz to +- 3.70 GHz, so it does not throttle much, although the temperatures are pretty high.
Are these temperatures normal? I read a lot of posts, and I hear people saying that temperatures of 70°C-80° Cduring load are pretty high... When playing GTA V on highest settings, my CPU temp reaches +- 80 degrees C, which is 10° C lower but still pretty high for a gpu intensive game...
Idle temperature is 40-50 degrees celcius. Interesting sidenote, when stress testing the CPU in Intel XTU (100% load), the temperature is varying between 70 and 80 degrees. So does the GPU affect the CPU temperature? (During Forza Horizon, GPU temperature is 75° almost constantly)
