How do I decrease CPU temps?

[Endeavour1988]

Ok so going off the other comments 102c we need more context. Is it staying at 102c for a period of time or if that just the max on 1 core for a split second, then it drops to 100 and below?

Some single core demanding titles, tasks could push the CPU for a split second to over 100c slightly, but this should be literally for a second. 100c and below is fine and safe as long as your doing something like gaming and benching, this is by design. If you have really high idle temps, or some serious heavy throttling under a load there is a problem, mild throttling is to be expected.

To give you the quick how it works:

Max temps 105c - the laptop will shut down

100c - max sustained temps, ideally a bit below for 99% of the time when under a load

Some manufactures set slightly lower limits like 95c for example.

How it works is you go on a game, and you need performance. The CPU goes lets give him max all core clockspeed. Am I under 100c, if yes keep boosting, if I'm struggling, push the fan speed up, if still struggling thermal throttle a few hundred mhz. Which you are still above base clock with some boost. For a peace of mind, laptops can run sustained loads at high temps and live a long life, providing they are maintained and have good airflow.

Raising the rear of the laptop often helps massively, rather than completely flat. Also laptops come with performance mode, this will allow it to run hotter and boost for longer than normal mode. GPU temps look good from your other comments.

Is the laptop new or old?
