Standard Performance temperature?

[cazetoG]

Hello.
I own a Lenovo y50 - I just wanted to know what the standard temperatures was for nowadays laptops when during demanding tasks.

When I game my temperatures reach 85*C as the max and lays around 80-81*C - I'm using a program called "RealTempGT" to measure with

When i'm just browsing the web or doing little tasks the temperature lays around 40*C with a max at 51*C.

Now I do know that I can get a coolingpad or something similar that will help on the temperatures, but I'm not interested in that, I just want to know if I should worry?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

Well 85 degrees is very hot. Anything that isn't overclocked and hitting 70+ degrees is hot. Now 40 degrees for idle/small tasks is still warm. I don't use/have a laptop, I have a desktop with much better specs then your laptop and my warmest temperature has been 65 degrees on my GPU, but I changed the fan settings on my GPU and solved the problem.

Now for a laptop everything is going to get warm because they always use crap coolers, unless it's a good gaming laptop. This laptop doesn't look like it has very good cooling, which could be why many people have also complained and have been worried about temperatures.

Laptops will normally be hotter than desktops because desktops can hold many more fans/cooling components like radiators and water cooling. Laptops also have coolers that don't cool the whole mobo and parts that need to be cooled on the mobo (the CPU and GPU, etc...). So I'm sure laptop temperatures will be hot but 80 degrees is too hot really.

I would go buy a good laptop cooler which your laptop can sit on.

Hope this helps

I own the same laptop for about a year already, and i get the ~ same temperatures as you. According to google and a few reviews, these are standard temperatures for this laptop, no worries.
Coolingpad won't help you in this case, i tried this one http://laptop-coolers-review.toptenreviews.com/thermaltake-massive-tm-review.html . No improvement at all.

Thanks for the reply's!

Yeah, I was afraid it was too hot, but I also know that laptops are build to tolerate more heat, I just don't know how much.

I don't think I have a settings in the bios or anything to crank up the GPU fan and even if I did, the computer would make more noise.

Xemko, how long have your longest game sessions been? I'm just worried if I go on multiple hours, will it lasts? I know I still have the guarantee, but really.

cheers

cazetoG, you should not be worried. I'm using it heavy, 10h+ sessions, streaming + gaming. Laptops tend to be hot. In our case Lenovo decided to make this laptop pretty quiet even under heavy load, in price of a bit high temp.
