Laptop heating issues :-(

C

Hello guys.
I just brought a new lappie (HP p0735 tx) the specs are as follows:
Intel core i7(4 th gen)
Nvidia geforce GT 840m(2 GB ddr3)
8 GB ram, 1 GB HDD
15.9 inch screen
Resolution 1366x768
The problem I'm having is that the temps are too high according to me.
In tomb raider (2013) on ultra, the GPU temp is around 68° and as for the processor, it's a whooping 78°. It's the same for black flag and thief too. So my question is-are these temps to high or they normal for a gaming laptop. Coz I'm a little bit worried. Thanks in advance.

C

Umm can anyone help me out here guys???

At Ultra settings its bound to take good amount of resources so I guess your Temps are alright.

C

Are you sure?? Coz I'm a little worried . and I'll be uploading the screen shots too to give u a good idea

GPU temps are completely alright. CPU temps are high, but as you are using a laptop so all you can do is get a good Laptop cooler if you are very worried.

C

Hmm. It's an i7 and normally Intel processors are prone to getting heated up right?

Depends on the usage pattern. As with you yeah its obvious with those resource hungry games.

Get a good laptop cooler then. Its not much hot these days but it will surely help you in summer.

My CPU remains much hotter than GPU

Around 90C on high performance mode and ultra preset in games for CPU

GPU remains much cooler at 80C almost

Nearly my case

See told ya temps are normal.

C

Hmm. I had no idea that temps in laptops were so high!!!

LOL getting worked up at 78 degrees. My laptop gets way hotter.
My i7 goes upto 85(used to go up till 105 which is Tmax when I used Arctic Silver V).
Also my GPU/s go up till 80(one of them used to reach 94 when I used Arctic Silver V).

C

Hmm. Didn't know that laptop temps could get so hot!!!

When you try to pump out Alienware 17 performance in a sub 1 L laptop, this is what happens.

C

But I checked that it can play these latest games at 20~25 fps. And alienware it's a class by itself

Temp are normal

Anyways does plugging the charger and then playing can raise the temps or no?

Game on battery if you want to drastically reduce its life within a week.

One of my friends said that while gaming, we should first charge the lappie and then play and after some time when the charge gets low,plug it back in. Is he correct??

Don't play games on battery. It will reduce lifetime of your laptop's battery.

Also temp. of your laptop is cool, as my laptop heats upto 80C for CPU & 78C for GPU. My friend's Samsung laptop laptop heats upto 88C for GPU (GT650M)

NO. Its better to take out your battery and play directly on power if you play too much IMO.

He is wrong. He is like a half cooked egg, all on one side and none on the other(Shakespeare). His knowledge is incomplete for which he must be comprehended and is sure to suffer salvation(Shakespeare).
Tell him to STFU!

I don't think that is a very good idea. Most laptops direct heat away from the battery anyway.

C

So finally, I'm supposed to keep my lappie plugged in and then play??

nope

always use laptop on ac power, use it on batteries only for emergencies.

C

Hmm. Will follow ur advice then guys

So yeah, today I played Shadow of Mordor on high. CPU went upto 84 and GPUs to 75.

C

Lappie specs?

C

It's above 60 k right?

Cruzy said:

nearly 1L.(65k base+10k GPU+rest=other upgrades)

C

No wonder u getting 50+ fps in shadow or mordor

Cruzy said:

Ofcourse yes !!

C

Ohkk. Even if the charge is at 100%

?

There must be some setting which puts your charge level to 50-60%. Search for it.

^ option in lenovo lappies (Lenovo Energy management)

It keeps the charge at 60% View attachment 14897

Dunno about others

C

Can someone tell me the same setting for HP laptop's?

You have two fans (extra one in your GPU)

Anyways, my GPU reaches 80C during summer..... Nowadays it just goes till 75C

I am talking about both GPUs.
GPUs only goes upto 80 degrees max when playing Crysis 3 and only Crysis 3.
All other games(eg. Shadow of Mordor) only heats them upto 75 degrees.

C

Hmm. Didn't find any option to limit the charge at 80%. Does anyone know a tool for this purpose?
