PC users: My Sensors never reach 50° degrees
Laptop users: I bought the whole thermometer, so i'm gonna use the whole thermometer

"This is horrible!"

My laptop gets so hot that it gets more dates than me.

Also if you have a laptop that is older then five years changing the thermal paste might be a good idea

I haven't even watched this video still but the answer is "YES"

Tips to cool down laptop:

Upper limit temp : 90℃ to 100℃
Ideal temp : Around 50℃ or as low as possible
Ideal operating ambient temp : 30℃ or lower
- Use laptop on solid surfaces, give proper space & elevation for vents (use laptop stand or cooler, elevation alone helps more than number of fans in cooler)
- Make sure your laptop is clean inside out specially vents that get filled with debrie overtime (cleaning, dusting, thermal pasting your laptop yearly).
- Undervolt and underclock or just using lower performance profiles also helps.
- Make sure your laptop inbuilt cooling mechanism is not broken and fans working properly (also try tweaking fans speed if laptop allowes)
- Tweak settings that can help with performance and to save battery. Dont overload your device with crap.

"is your laptop too hot?"

Me casually cooking instant noodle with my laptop: Errr.. maybe

You forgot one thing: thermal paste on the CPU. I bought a second-hand acer nitro whose paste had turned almost solid. Changing it gave me about a 16⁰ temp difference while running cinnebench

For those out there needing support, I recently opened my razer blade 2014. Cleaned the vents, cleaned the heatpipe exhaust, and most importantly, re-pasted the thermal paste. This made a change from 70-80 degrees under low load, and above 100 degrees on high load, to a silent and cool laptop. I undervolted and under-clocked it as well, and it’s behaving like a really good boy ever since! Getting 60+ fps in most games I play :)

My laptop’s messed up BIOS: CPU: 100 degrees | My fan: *casually running at half power* | My battery: IM AT 50 DEGREES | My fan: 0 RPM
Edit: I seriously thought this would only get like 3 likes... guess I was wrong. Thanks so much!

The politically correct term is
"Thermally challenged"

You can also say that word when you see someone burning.

comment section in a nutshell : haha you think this is bad? my laptop is worse haha

[closeyourys]

My laptop always gets hot when Riley shows up on it

[codeHusky]

You guys forgot to mention repasting your laptop to help fix uneven paste jobs, or even simply elevating the back of the laptop to give the fans better airflow. Those are both great, easy ways to improve thermals.

My fan runs incessantly and sometimes, it’s running when all the electronics are cold.
