Okai, a long time ago, I asked about temperatures and such and some very helpful forum members put my mind at ease.
I come back today to ask if I'm still within expected readings. I will attach some images with readings from some gaming sessions and I will be honest it kind of stresses me out. Idle temps are around low 50 degrees for MB, high 40's low 50's for all cores, and the fan speed reads at 2200-2300 RPM like that.
I have been noticing for some months now starting late last year, that the temperatures when gaming went quite high. And in certain ones, when the games load up, they reach quite high, both the fans and the temps. My main issue is Overwatch. I launched the game during the Lunar New Year event and while starting up, the processor cores reached as high as 96 degrees celsius. After that while gaming, it stayed in mid 80's which I have personally never experienced. It looks like that thing caused the temps to be even higher across the board on any game I play. I will also attach an image with the resource monitor open too.
I am seriously worried right now that my machine has something wrong. It was always stored after cooling down after a shutdown in a dust free bag and not kept in high or low temperatures. So dust "should not" be an issue bu who knows. I also want to say that in resource monitor I notice the temps and fan speeds going high as soon as the "maximum frequency" goes above 100%. Real usage of that is still well below when I am playing. I understand it's a laptop and suppose to be more hot. But I just can't comprehend this sort of what is to me, abnormal behavior. Not to mention that the games are pretty much set to low all around out of ear to not stress it even more. Oh and another thing, for about 2 years now, no matter what I tried, Skyrim (steam version with everything) launcher does not detect the video card, which seems to be due to the optimus technology it has as well and have found no workaround.
Here's the readings I took:
- The Resource monitor thing.
- The readings took on startup of overwatch.
- Some readings took during Bnet patching something.
- Readings taken during a Overwatch game.
So as you can see, temperatures are I would say at least during normal gameplay 10 degrees higher. And not only that, the fan speed went from keeping them at hihg 70's with under 4000 RPM to well over that. Same with World of Warcraft. Used to be able to go to raids or basically have 25 people unleash hell for effects, and it wouldn't go above around 3600 RPM and well under 80 degrees.
Is this an indication of dust clutter? Even if it's been stored as to not have that problem? Is it just normal after 4 years and I can expect it to go out real soon? I know it has safeties to not burn itself out, but what do I do?
