For a long time I have had a "gaming" laptop with a Ryzen 5 (with 3.7 GHz), a RAM size of 8 GB, and two graphics cards. (A GTX 1650 & Radeon Vega 8 Graphics)
As such, I can play all the games I want to play smoothly and without problems.
Unfortunately, the CPU shoots quite a bit in terms of heat in some games.
In games like VALORANT, which runs smoothly for me, the CPU utilization goes into the 90% range (at least that's how I see it in the Task Manager).
Why is that? Can you somehow fix this heat problem with my CPU? : /
Which cpu is exactly installed?
The CPU is a Ryzen 5: D with up to 3.7 GHz.
Since there's really not much that can be done with laptops in terms of airflow, I can only recommend that you replace the thermal paste on your CPU. However, it is not that easy when you do it for the first time.
otherwise a pure CPU utilization is nothing special and as long as your CPU does not exceed 85 degrees I would say that it is still in the yellow range.

I personally would rather see that the GPU is used for Valorant rather than the CPU. What do you think about that?
I don't know exactly how it is with laptops, but I'm pretty sure that the program / game pulls what it needs. So if valorant needs more CPU than GPU usage, that's probably the case.
