Tips to cool down laptop: Upper limit temp : 90℃ to 100℃ Ideal temp : Around 50℃ or as low as possible Ideal operating ambient temp : 30℃ or lower - Use laptop on solid surfaces, give proper space & elevation for vents (use laptop stand or cooler, elevation alone helps more than number of fans in cooler) - Make sure your laptop is clean inside out specially vents that get filled with debrie overtime (cleaning, dusting, thermal pasting your laptop yearly). - Undervolt and underclock or just using lower performance profiles also helps. - Make sure your laptop inbuilt cooling mechanism is not broken and fans working properly (also try tweaking fans speed if laptop allowes) - Tweak settings that can help with performance and to save battery. Dont overload your device with crap.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad P43s, the fan is quiet at max, but I think the bios thinks that the fan is really noisy, so it always cranks it down and my laptop gets HOT.

For those out there needing support, I recently opened my razer blade 2014. Cleaned the vents, cleaned the heatpipe exhaust, and most importantly, re-pasted the thermal paste. This made a change from 70-80 degrees under low load, and above 100 degrees on high load, to a silent and cool laptop.

A guide on undervolting laptops. By undervolting properly you can really boost your laptops performance. I have my cpu at -.187mv and the cpu cache at -.125mv. I saw my cinebench R20 score go from 2000 average to my highest of 2777. By undervolting you lower the overall turbo of your cpu can maintain it longer until throttling. You can maintain a much higher overall clock speed. In my case I use an i7-8750, stock it turbos up to 4.1 for a few second before throttling all the way down to 2.7 at 94c. Undervolted it turbos to 3.9 but can now maintain 3.4 at 78c. Big improvement for me.

[@the_long_forgotten_quest]

I've been battling high temps in my laptops for years. I think there are 3 more solutions you should've mentioned: 1. If your laptop is 4 or 5 years old, its highly posible that the thermal paste inside is dry. So it might be time to open it up and do some maintenence. 2. You can actually undervolt your CPU with minimum risk, and lower you temps a few degrees. 3. Intel Turbo Boost Technology and AMD Precision Boost can increase temps rapidly, and can keep your laptop warm for a long time. You can disable them in windows by going to your power settings, and setting your CPUs maximun usage to 99%. You will take a big performance hit, but temps for me went from 95° down to 75°. Alternatively, you can set a lower maximum frecuency in the same menu, though this requires you to run a small script to unlock the option.

[@lyshakalexander]

What the script? Real curious

[@the_long_forgotten_quest]

By default it should be 0 MHz which basically means there is no frequency limit. You should check your CPU's maximum boost frequency and simply set a lower limit. (Remember that modern CPUs use GHz instead of MHz, so a good limit should be somewhere around 3500MHz)

[@lyshakalexander]

@@the_long_forgotten_quest thnx for your time and answer, but Mr. Google has already helped me to figure out registry way to get it done :) Allthough if not for you, I would never guessed that Windows is even capable of hiding such options! I thought they are either are ore are not available in different versions of OS. That was an important lesson learned. And since I manage computers and laptops of many people (I have a lot of friends that are not particularly good with that stuff), you Sir, just made their lives a whole lot easier, since they potentially need one extra program less :) As for me, I found 3.3 GHz more then enought in absolutely all apps I use and such cap prevents CPU from exceeding 80°C with an average about 75°C. Which i find more then compelling for my i7 9750H. It's so bezare, that neither Intel nor Microsoft hasn't left this important feature available by default, since this this is such an easy way to manaage ur CPU temps in healthy ranges! Especially in laptops! Anyway, thanx again, kind Sir, you helped a lot!

[@Orain88]

I've been running my cpu at 99% for a while now, I barely notice a thing in terms of performance loss. It went from 80 ish on demanding games down to 65c max. I also started undervolting my gpu, it definitely takes more tuning work to find a stable place that reduces your temps. But I managed to drop my gpu anywhere from 5 to 10 c without noticeable framerate loss. So now a demanding game typically tops out at 63c on the gpu and 65 on the cpu vs what I had before which was more like 72c on the gpu and 82c on the cpu.

Strange as it might seem a more expensive laptop cooling pads doesn't usually amount to more cooling as those more expensive ones often use fancy paneling which at best doesn't help and at worse blocks airflow causing the pad to insulate while it's trying to cool which is not great. I recommend finding a cooling pad that uses one big and super quiet fan and is largely made of open gaps with a level enough surface to hold your laptop firm.

I was really into computers back in 2021 when I bought my first gaming laptop. Seeing CPU/GPU temps at 85°C/70°C is a normal occurrence. But then my office bought a desktop PC for content creation with an i7 & 3050. I was stunned when it's under heavy loads the temps are only like 50/45. The best part? The CPU uses an Intel stock cooler.

One of the best things I ever did was get a Lap top where the vent is on the side of the machine (Toshiba), instead of under the darn thing. It made a huge difference. A trick for a poor man's version of a cooling tray I used on the old laptop and it worked fairly well considering the laptop was really old and where I live the heat gets really bad in Summer (no air con or desk fan). Is to take two kiddie spades (shovels) and stick them under the laptop to raise it off the ground. Even two forks with their points covered with tape to protect surfaces or the laptop from damage, work too.

Wow Riley! Your killin' it with that segue. That's like Linus levels of segue-ing.

[QUESTION] Can you guys do a video exploring power supply need? A lot has changed over the years and it would be helpful to explore what wattage is needed nowadays for different setups.

How about cleaning the fans and maybe a new "coat" of thermal paste?

Using throttle stop, under vault to -80 MV and limit boost to 3.4 for all cores for a cool 70° maximum low temperature

The problem with doing due diligence is that manufacturers churn through laptop models so quickly, by the time widespread cooling issues become evident, they've already discontinued that specific model. So you almost need to research their older models to find out if there's a trend.

1:45 yup , we have many trackpacks with exactly this problem
