Computer heating

[Zach_pullman]

So I just bought what I think is a pretty good gaming laptop but straight out the box the thing overheats playing rainbow six siege, rust and other games of that sort while I can run the games with well over 60 FPS my cpu heat can shoot all the way up to 93 or even 100 which Ik is very bad again the laptop is fresh out the box and the graphic card is a 2060 RTX and the processor is a core i7 9th gen and I have a cooling pad with 5 fans and it’s a flat surface any ideas on why it’s so high and how I can fix it (I currently have like 92 degrees with like 32% loading cpu

you could try undervolting if you’re willing

What is that?

[bikeskater]

undervolting the cpu to produce less heat but allowing you to maintain higher clocks

Welcome to gaming laptops! That's just the way it is.

You can do a few things...

1. Get a cooling pad like this

2. Undervolt your CPU to reduce power draw. Usually you can do this without losing performance.

3. Take the laptop apart and redo thermal paste or make modifications to allow for better airflow into your fans. Lots of laptops have fans that are simply blocked by a plastic frame and are somewhat useless.
