Laptop overheated despite cleaning?
Net Community.
I have a problem with my laptop and that is it overheats massively (99 ° C) during load.
I started my laptop and just left it idle and still had a brief peak temperature of 92 ° C.
Otherwise I have a temperature of about 70 ° C with two open Chrome tabs, which seems very high to me.
All of this would not be bad, but my gaming the GPU and CPU always clock down, because the temperature must not exceed 99 ° C.
For example, with my gaming laptop with an i7-7700HQ, 16GB RAM and a 1060-6GB with GTAV I only have about 55 FPS at low and only about 50 at maximum settings, since the CPU and GPU always have the 99 ° Reach C and clock yourself down.
According to a test benchmark of mine, my score is also far below the people with the same hardware components as me.
Laptop was cleaned thoroughly and it made no difference.
How old is he? Perhaps a fan has failed or the thermal paste has dried up.
The laptop is about 2 years old. An Acer Aspire V Nitro.
The fans make a lot of noise when you activate Acer's own Cool Boost and after 2 years a dried-up thermal paste sounds strange to me too.
Renew the thermal paste & thermal pads. It should be better after that. With laptops, however, you will always have significantly higher temperatures than with desktop PCs, that should be clear to you.
Possibly A virus?
I've already thought about it, I'll have the Avira Rescue boot and the entire PC including UEFI checked tomorrow, I'll get in touch with the results.
You can also run Windows Defender overnight
I did a start time check via Avast, but nothing was found
Yes, it is clear that the temperatures are higher than with desktop PCs, but with my hardware I should achieve significantly more FPS in the games than I do now and the CPU / GPU should not reach 100 ° at 60-70% load Get C.
I will try.
Are the thermal pads also important to replace or can I leave the old ones on and just put a new thermal paste on them?
You can only renew the thermal paste first. Should be enough.
Pads are usually still good there.
Okay thanks,
will renew them times
Is there anything else I can do to rule out a defect in the cooling system or isolate the fault?
Do that first and then keep looking if it doesn't work.
