CPU GPU heat?

I bought a gaming laptop half a month ago, and so far I've been very happy. I was able to play all games on the highest graphics setting. One day I ran the Nitro Sense app (shows how hard your cooler was working and how hot the GPU / CPU is), then I played Rainbow Six Siege and then looked at the numbers out of boredom. My CPU fluctuated between 93 and 87 degrees and my GPU stayed constant at 80. My coolers run at 5000 rpm. So I looked in the task manager and saw that my Cpu just had a load of 40%. It is because the game is too powerful eats or is there another explanation?

The CPU and GPU get too hot and slow down. Make sure that the ventilation inlets on the laptop are free and get a laptop cooler.

The cooling in laptops is just bad, that's the reason. The flat design of laptops does not have enough space for reasonable cooling. Unfortunately this is normal.

OK

Laptops often have major problems with waste heat, which is particularly due to the fact that all the hardware is installed in a very small space and thus stands in the way of an air-cooled solution.

If the device gets very warm you can also see this on the underside, if you put your hand on it after about half an hour you will notice a quite high temperature and thus a certain problem with the cooling.

So that the whole thing works halfway, it is very important that the device always has free access to fresh air during operation, e.g. Lounging in bed is often a death knell for cooling, as the fans can breathe more difficult or even impossible due to any blankets.

If you notice a high temperature on the underside of the device (which I assume is very high), then you have to use a cooling stand which e.g. Looks like this:

These devices are available in different versions and from various manufacturers, so you can have a look around.

With such a cooler, the temperature in the laptop should move for the better, you will still not reach ideal temperatures (CPU max. ~ 75C ° | GPU max. 70C °), but every degree less has a positive effect on the performance and the longevity of your system because the temperatures you mentioned are fatal for the hardware in the long run.

I've heard temperatures up to 95 degrees are possible. But they shorten the life of the Cpu you mean "deadly".

Modern CPUs can still work at very high temperatures of around 95C °, but then the limit is reached and the hardware begins to reduce its performance for its own protection in order to be able to reduce the temperatures somewhat.

You should never press a CPU above 80C ° for a long time, until then the hardware can still handle this quite well, but as soon as the temperature rises above it becomes critical. In a desktop PC, a CPU should not exceed 75C ° under load, but if it does, the cooling performance is insufficient and should be improved.

If the CPU has a temperature of around 65C ° under load with air cooling, then you are in a very good range and the hardware can handle that well. The longevity is only minimally negatively influenced by this temperature and can be dismissed as "normal wear and tear".

And by "fatal" I no longer just mean the life expectancy of the hardware but actually the imminent failure of this. If you load the hardware with such temperatures for a long time, the end of its life is reached in a very manageable time frame. If the device can hold out for a year under such temperatures, that's decent, but probably the highest that the hardware can be expected to do.

If the device is still new, you can also assume that the temperature will rise slightly in the course of the first few months because from the start of operation, the "disintegration" begins and the cooling capacity, Severely affected by dust.

So to say it again briefly:

By fatal I mean the total failure in the foreseeable future.

The high temperatures are one of the reasons why a gaming laptop doesn't actually make sense. The high costs for such a device are disproportionate to the benefits; if you compare the whole thing with a desktop PC, you have significantly less performance and a significantly lower hardware life expectancy.

If "gaming", then with a desktop PC. A laptop is more of an emergency nail when you e.g. Is on the go more often and wants to gamble there too. However, laptops are not a good choice for continuous operation under "gaming conditions".

Yes, I know that a laptop is not ideal for gaming. I hope with the laptop cooler because you recommended me my laptop won't die after a year. I had no complaints with the performance.
