I had bought a gaming laptop that was specially equipped for playing new games. Accordingly, it has good system components and a large number of large fans.
Since the laptop was very expensive and I had to save a long time for it, I'm afraid that I will break something, although I have a guarantee,
That's why I wanted to ask how it looks with heat damage to laptops. I can imagine that a laptop that is not equipped for gaming and therefore does not have good fans, overheats when playing hardware-heavy games and the hardware can be damaged.
But suppose I forgot to clean the fan of my gaming laptop or have played too long in the sauna, can damage occur very quickly?
With my old laptop, which was not a gaming laptop, the laptop always switched itself off before it got too hot. Does this security function exist on all laptops and does it protect the hardware sufficiently or did the damage already occur before the laptop switches itself off?
I can reassure you Basically, both the CPU and the GPU are now equipped with sensors that shut down their performance as soon as they get too warm, and chips are generally much better protected against overheating these days in an emergency your laptop switches off completely.
As long as you don't want to overclock or actively bypass this limitation, nothing will happen.
But what you can pay attention to is that you do not play in bed or so, dust etc. Can worsen the ventilation.
Thank you, but I wasn't sure if there was any damage before the laptop switched off for protection.
Whether and when the laptop switches off depends on the sensors installed and where they are located. The laptop should switch off by default before too much damage can occur, but of course you should always make sure that the fans get enough fresh air (so always place the laptop on a hard and smooth surface, soft surfaces such as blankets or other things are a NoGo)
