How many degrees is it harmful to the laptop?

Hi

I play on my gaming laptop every now and then and when I play slightly higher graphics the device gets hot which is normal, but then I asked myself how much it is harmful for my laptop. In the games I play, the GPU has a maximum temperature of 80 degrees and the CPU has a maximum temperature of 85 degrees. Is that bad?

Yes, that's bad.

Your laptop seems to be too bad.

It should be 30-50 crad

CPU is barely in the range for laptop conditions. The GPU is more problematic, it is about to thermal throttling.

In general, the higher the temperature, the shorter the service life.

The temperature of the CPU is just okay for a laptop. The GPU, on the other hand, is about to thermal throttling or is already doing so. Maybe the fan should be dedusted and / or the thermal paste should be renewed, that can help. It can also help to bring some space between the table and the underside of the laptop, for example by raising the laptop a little with a pen placed underneath it. That way he gets more cool air. Temperatures can't really damage your laptop: it clocks itself down beforehand to stay cooler. This starts with the Cpu at 90-100 ° C and with the GPU at 85-90 ° C, depending on how the temperature limit is set.

If you can do something like that with a laptop under load, congratulations! Your laptop has an amazingly good cooling system.

Is not a problem CPUs lock mostly from 95 degrees. With the GPU this is very different, but it should not be sealed off at 80 degrees. With notebooks and laptops it is often the case that they exceed the 100 degree limit. So currently you have no problem.

Due to the extremely long lifespan of such parts, however, they are not really noticeable before something is gone and they are disposed of anyway because they are outdated.

Hey thanks for your answer, but I have one more question. What is thermal throttling?

Maybe.

This is when the GPU or CPU lower their clock rate (and thus also become slower) in order to avoid overheating.
