Right so,
Bought this laptop not long ago. I checked the temps while playing and as it turns out, basically every single game gets my CPU to 95+ degrees. The first solution I found was to disable turbo though Throttlestop. While the temps are now much better, the performance does suffer. The next thing I tried was to put the laptop in Balanced power option, and set the Maximum Processor State to 99%. That also reduced the temps by a lot, but the performance is also quite worse. I tried doing the same thing using High Performance power option and setting it to 70% and the temp is still at 95 degrees.
Undervolting doesn't seem to lower the temps enough, as I can only seem to reach -70 for stability
Here are the benchmarks i got using UserBenchmark:
Turbo mode activated with High Performance(99% max):
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/23441453CPU package went up to 96 degrees
Turbo mode activated with Balanced (99% max):
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/23441541CPU package went up to 56 degrees
Disabled Turbo mode with Balanced (99% max):
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/23441656forgot to actually record temp
Disabled Turbo mode with High Performance (99% max):
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/23441816CPU package went up to 58 degrees
So here's my question: Is there a way to significantly cool down my laptop without reducing performance too much?
Thanks folks
