How hot should a laptop i7 run? I bought a new lenovo y500 (its unused, one of the last pieces produced was lying about in a warehouse the past year or two, vendor is reliable did business with him before) and its Intel Core i7 3630QM was running as hot as 65C idling which spiralled my assburgers. Turned out it was a windows 8 shitty update process hogging the processor power turned it off
Now its around 48-55 with light browsing and steam downloading
is this too much?

>is this too much
no

Set the max load to 96% and it will disable turbo boost and run much cooler with little performance loss
>>55302675
thats also exactly what I did before it cooled down
now the question is if its acceptable and how much should I tolerate under max load?
I can return it no chargé within 14 days
>>55302675
why?
laptops are made to run hot
mine goes up to 98C before problems start occuring, and this only happens when gayming on a extra hot day

wont that fuck it up in the long run? I need this to last 2-3 years
My previous laptop was HP and I got all autistic whenever it passed 75C which it almost never did under max load
If this goes over 90 im returning it

>wont that fuck it up in the long run?
Yes
>I need this to last 2-3 years
my laptop is fine after 3 years, but i do gaymen only once a month or so
run a stress test on gpu and cpu at the same time and monitor the temps
laptop mobos can usually withstand high temps without any damage, you'll probably only need to change the thermal paste every once in a while
Lenovo50-70 here.
Gpu goes up to 99degrees under load,cpu 70-80.
Dont even worry about it

well I just tested with arma 2 (only thing I got atm) with full bells and whistles, highest resolution, 70C, guess I can live with that
>>55302534
I think I was looking at one of these before I got my previous laptop. Pretty sure "poor cooling" was one of the reasons I didn't end up getting it.
A 3610QM idles at a whopping 38C in what I got instead. So yeah, it's a bit warm.
>>55302534
I got same laptop and when i do some "internet stuff", i have 55*C on CPU, 43-47*C on GPUs.
While im gayming (depends on game) 70-85*C on CPU, 70-97*C on GPUs and all of this on fresh thermal paste.
So those are normal temps for this toaster.

Yeah, I got my 3610QM up to 100C before. Fucking toaster lol.
