Workstation / Gaming laptop

It gets hot while playing, this is 40mins into AC - Odyssey.

The center of keyboard - between F6 to F10 and keys below till spacebar become hot only this region you can feel it.

once i've finished playing, i switch the fan to Max for few minutes, it brings down the temperature.

5mins with Max Fan speed -

you can see below CPU/GPU Max and Avg temperature. CPU crossed 100 when benchmarking, otherwise its below 80 for most of the time. During gaming max cpu temperature has been 79c so far.

25hr is not a good thing & that log doesn't tell a lot for gaming temp. For gaming temp log, hit reset on HWInfo after game starts running & take screenshot of HWinfo as soon as you stop playing.

It will be something like this, which can be used to get max & average temps as well as power, freq, etc:

I use my laptop on a cooling pad though (Deepcool Multicore X6).

Do this BEFORE starting the game, let it be at max for few more minutes after you've closed the game.

use a cooling pad /laptopstand for better airflow , i heard that undervolting is done for less temps ,tho i havent seen how it is done .its ur new laptop prolly shouldnt do it anyway

above 90 is unpleasant rgt?

Most definitely.

I just use empty tic tac boxes. Does the job just fine.
Undervolting is fine but level of undervolt for a stable system varies across each unit.

You too have a difference of 10 °C in Average and Hot Spot GPU temps?

Yes a bit of elevation for air to pass through and out.Some hack-stand like that is fine.BTW ur earphone is sound magic E10c rgt?How good is it for a rough user?

How good is it for a rough user?

I've been using it for about 4 years now. Outer plastic covering for the cables have came off for most of the cable length. The earphones still work.

I even have close to 10C CPU core to core temp difference. Tried different thermal paste applications like pea-size dot & spreading it with applicator, even tried on the new heatsink. It still remains.

I don't think AMD's laptop CPUs can be undervolted. My laptop has an Intel CPU & it has been undervolted since day 1. It was stable at -150mV initially but after a year, got some random BSODs, so reduced UV to -125mV. Have been stable ever since.

UV is an advanced stuff. So know what you are doing & be patient with trial & errors as UV values will vary from chip to chip for same CPU model.

same with my laptop no change after repasting and change.

Laptop cooler yet to buy, currently i'm using this table. - *www.amazon.in/Portronics-POR-704-Adjustable-Laptop-Table/dp/B00BQT6LAW

From cold boot to about 1hr into AC Odyssey gameplay -

@bloodlife That single fan in your port-table, pushes the air inside laptop, right?

No its downwards, pushes air down from the table surface, airflow is on opposite direction. When i saw the promo of Victus it was advertised like some large open section at the back has better cooling, but its not true only the red circle is venting for fan rest of the surface is blocked not sure if any air get through.

I'll have to get a laptop cooler now

^Then flip the fan so that it pushes the air inside the laptop. Also raise the laptop base at the back by at least 1cm for proper airflow at the bottom part of the laptop.
The blue air in the above pic is actually cool air which goes inside the laptop and hot air it red color which comes out of exhaust ports.

Flipping the internal fan on a laptop ?

 

[omega44-xt]

@bloodlife A good cooling pad should help. My laptop is running on one & without that, it doesn't take much time to hit 100C & 86C for CPU & GPU.

Also, as mentioned, use something to put a 1cm gap between bottom of laptop & table. That helps as well.

 

[TheSloth]

Flipping the internal fan on a laptop ?

No no. There is a fan on the table OP is using. That pushes air away from laptop's bottom surface instead of pushing in. Laptop bottom surface is intake.

 

[rapusa]

@bloodlife I am also looking to buy new laptop and Victus by HP Ryzen 7 5800H ( RTX 3050Ti ) is on my radar. Can you please share your review on your laptop's display quality and heating related issue.

Do you recommend victus laptop ?

 

[bloodlife]

No no. There is a fan on the table OP is using. That pushes air away from laptop's bottom surface instead of pushing in. Laptop bottom surface is intake.

yea, i flipped the fan on laptop table. i'll monitor temperature when gaming, so far hightlighted below is the hot region.

Last week i was checking with HP Support regarding warranty and upgrade and they shared a Victus service manual, in case if anyone want to check - HERE
@omega44-xt @TheSloth from the manual there are 2 versions, 60W and 80W fans also they have mentioned about use of Thermal gel.
