Yeah, repasting is always a good idea on older laptops. Temps improved by over 15 degrees on my ThinkPad X220 from 2011 after new thermal paste and removing dust from the fan.
I was looking for this comment! After a few years, exchanging the thermal paste can significantly lower CPU temps. My laptop went from 85+°C under load to a maximum of about 70°C under load after applying new thermal paste

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.
Yep, and sadly - like the video - it's a fail as there is no mention of ThrottleStop or undervolting which will solve this issue for the vast majority of users for free in a matter of a few minutes. FAIL.
@@ross-carlson TS has been a life saver on my ASUS laptop. Even under full load (both gpu & cpu) I don't thermal throttle now. Also blowing air in vents every 6 months is a pretty big factor in keeping the laptop cool, it drastically reduces the max and idle temps.
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.
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 :)

I've been battling high temps in my laptops for years. I think there are 3 more solutions you should've mentioned: 1. If your laptop is 4 or 5 years old, its highly posible that the thermal paste inside is dry. So it might be time to open it up and do some maintenence. 2. You can actually undervolt your CPU with minimum risk, and lower you temps a few degrees. 3. Intel Turbo Boost Technology and AMD Precision Boost can increase temps rapidly, and can keep your laptop warm for a long time. You can disable them in windows by going to your power settings, and setting your CPUs maximun usage to 99%. You will take a big performance hit, but temps for me went from 95° down to 75°. Alternatively, you can set a lower maximum frecuency in the same menu, though this requires you to run a small script to unlock the option.

I've been running my cpu at 99% for a while now, I barely notice a thing in terms of performance loss. It went from 80 ish on demanding games down to 65c max. I also started undervolting my gpu, it definitely takes more tuning work to find a stable place that reduces your temps. But I managed to drop my gpu anywhere from 5 to 10 c without noticeable framerate loss.

A guide on undervolting laptops. By undervolting properly you can really boost your laptops performance. I have my cpu at -.187mv and the cpu cache at -.125mv. I saw my cinebench R20 score go from 2000 average to my highest of 2777. By undervolting you lower the overall turbo of your cpu can maintain it longer until throttling. You can maintain a much higher overall clock speed. In my case I use an i7-8750, stock it turbos up to 4.1 for a few second before throttling all the way down to 2.7 at 94c. Undervolted it turbos to 3.9 but can now maintain 3.4 at 78c. Big improvement for me.
Thats a big NO for me. I dont have a laptop. Or a mobile phone. Im a gamer, i dont need those kinda things. The few times i get out of the basement, yeah, im busy doing stuff.

I don't even think you need a laptop cooler...I bought a laptop stand/riser that doesn't cover the vents. No need for laptop cooler with fancy lights and fans. Depending on the model those laptop coolers can actually blow warm air back into the laptop.
Had a laptop with a 1050TI, under load the screen would go black. GPU was overheating, and so was the battery. I fixed it by doing 2 things (neither fixed it alone): 1, i changed the BIOS setting to cap charge at 80%, and 2, i used MSI afterburner to throttle GPU by 10%. Yes, unfortunate loss of performance, but better than a brick.
"reading or watching reviews", after the recent MSI incident I stopped trusting any reviews and will just wait a couple of weeks after a product release to see the public opinion on a product.
CutoutClips A small tech reviewer, TechTeam GB was offered money to take down a negative review of a Msi laptop. This called to attention the numerous other incidents of this happening.
@RectalDiscourse Most actual gaming laptops allow it, and for non-gaming laptops, if your 5-15W U-series CPU is overheating, you should really reconsider who you buy your laptops from. (Looking at you, Apple. Who needs the fan to be attached to the heatsink anyway? Wireless cooling. Think different.)
I was really into computers back in 2021 when I bought my first gaming laptop. Seeing CPU/GPU temps at 85°C/70°C is a normal occurrence. But then my office bought a desktop PC for content creation with an i7 & 3050. I was stunned when it's under heavy loads the temps are only like 50/45. The best part? The CPU uses an Intel stock cooler.
I use my air purifier on the max setting and i put my laptop on top of it. From 80C, the temp go down to 45, it's a HUGE difference. During gaming too. I wonder if it will damage my laptop in some way, cuz the fan is really strong in that thing. Using wireless keyboard and mouse and boom, laptop gaming is a breeze ;p
A common sense solution would be to put an eraser below the laptop's hinge to elevate the laptop at an angle to allow air flow. I did it and the temperatures went down.
I'm kind of surprised repasting wasn't mentioned. The warranty on my Dell expired and I spent $8 to get some thermal grizzly kryonaut to repaste the CPU/GPU. Not only did it drop my idle temps, but I get a higher clock speed when under load. Load temps don't get any lower, though, because the laptop is set up to get as fast as possible while still keeping around 70c.
My friend would play mmos so much when we were in school, we flipped our laptops, put the head of them tower fans on it and hook it up to external monitors. I remember my laptop was so hot , there was a loud click and the thing never turned back on.
It used to get cold in winters where im from. So much so that it was hard to even stay inside our home, until I bought this dell laptop from a few years ago. Now I use it at home every day in winters and the house stays nice and warm. I once tried opening chrome and it made the entire neighbourhood warm and cozy. Im so haply to own this fantastic laptop.
I don't get why some older games use my CPU very little, but temps are very high, while some newer and more demanding games use my CPU more, but temps are lower
I bought a shitty laptop from best buy and the thermal paste had already failed months after I got it. It thermal throttled while just sitting with nothing running and the fans went ballistic. I popped it open and replaced the paste with artic silver and now it runs at a much better temp. I think replacing thermal paste should also be an option mentioned here
if all else fails then reseat the cpu with good thermal paste. they use really terrible stuff at the factory that dries out after 3-7 years and doesn't perform well when new anyway.

To the person that’s reading this: You’re very intelligent and adorable human! Stay healthy during quarantine My Dream is to have 70k. I been struggling to get there😁
My laptop started running really hot after about 5 years of use, which made gaming nigh impossible. I opened it up, the heatsink was full of dust. Cleaned it and replaced the thermal paste, runs much better now.
Worthwhile piece of info: Some laptops have grill panels over the fans that can be removed with only a few screws to clean them. Its pretty simple to do as long as you dont physically break anything in there even if you just use a rag or wipe the dust with your fingers.
Also pro tip, cooling pads are dumb because the just blow air at the bottom plastic/metal, better to just buy some fans, cut some holes, get a 3/4 pin fan to usb converter (or do the wires yourself) and attach them to the pc
I recently watched an interview with a Dell Thermal Engineer on PCMag's channel and he specifically stated that laptops are designed to run over 90 degrees under load, and there is no problem with that. They have multiple sensors that prevent overheating. Thermal throttling under max boost is part of the design. So when you say, you should keep a laptop below 90 degrees, what's your specific source for this exact temperature cut off?
The source is harddisk makers, they say never to have your harddisks higher than 70C else your warranty will be void. Another source are battery makers which tells us batteries don't like heat at all and they make us remember that lithium was used as a bomb. Your laptop isn't made to operate at 105C, my desktop PC operates at 40C with better pc parts in it, though it has lots of room for airflow which a laptop does not. Lots of people were severely burned by their laptops on their laps it's what their doctors diagnosed. Where do you get your sources?
I don't think there is a specific source. Rather experience shows that allowing a device to run really hot for a long time could reduce its life expectancy. As he says in the video, manufacturers set the devices limit to 100°.... so lets set a slightly lower limit (90°) to maximize its life expectancy.
@@NovaThunder5 You are talking about hard disks and batteries, and I'm asking about making sure CPUs run always under 90 degrees. And I'm saying it's ok to run over 90 degrees UNDER LOAD, according to a professional thermal engineer. They won't "overheat" because modern laptops have multiple sensors to prevent that. The 90 degree cut off is arbitrary and not backed up by data.
What's about the surface book 2 display part? It's cooled without fans, don't matter if it's laying on a flat surface because it's standing, you can't get the cover of because it's one peace or glued together, and even with a low ambient temperature it is still to hot
2011 15" and 17" MacBook Pros were notoriously killed by solder balls under the GPU coming free. You'd first get pink lines or snow on your screen, then it would stop working entirely. I have seen it happen at least 30 times, man. At least.
2:00 I still have that laptop, MacBook Pro Santa Rosa Core 2 Duo T7500 with GeForce 8600M GT, probably the most powerful laptop on the market, at that time. It was the worst laptop experience I had in my life. Working on creative audio projects while having the CPU constantly sitting at 100c, it literally gave me anxiety. At some point the GeForce did its thing and the whole logic board died. Good times.
you didn't even mention redoing the thermal paste!?! This is what solved the problem when my 2 year old laptop started throttling all the time even though it was clean and the fan curves untouched. I doubt a cheapo and annoying base with fans would have solved the problem
My previous laptop that my aunt gave me was heating over 90 degrees Celsius when even playing GTA SA (remember, this laptop wasn't that underpowered that it couldn't run GTA SA, it had a Sandy Bridge Celeron B815 1.6GHz Dual Core).

@@bartobowman3052 Cleaned and repasted, it only delayed the fan curve. It is to be expected since this is summer time, I remember back in winter the performance was 40% more than in summer

I heard applying good quality thermal paste improves heat management and reduces good amount of heat
A guide on undervolting laptops. By undervolting properly you can really boost your laptops performance. I have my cpu at -.187mv and the cpu cache at -.125mv. I saw my cinebench R20 score go from 2000 average to my highest of 2777. By undervolting you lower the overall turbo of your cpu can maintain it longer until throttling. You can maintain a much higher overall clock speed. In my case I use an i7-8750, stock it turbos up to 4.1 for a few second before throttling all the way down to 2.7 at 94c. Undervolted it turbos to 3.9 but can now maintain 3.4 at 78c. Big improvement for me.
Im gonna answer this one without watching the video:
yes
Thats a big NO for me. I dont have a laptop. Or a mobile phone. Im a gamer, i dont need those kinda things. The few times i get out of the basement, yeah, im busy doing stuff.
@@rtg5881 idk what youre trying to say with your comment. The only thing I can think of is that your laptop isnt too hot cause you dont have one in the first place?
I dont have one either.
Its just a joke
@@AlexLP0 Yes, thats what im saying.
Laptop users: my cpu and gpu are running over 100° Celsius running chrome, I should be fine

Is it possible to learn this power?

Yeah my GPU only hits like over 80C worst case but it's usually 60-75C avg while my CPU easily gets too hot
Spicy pillows is importante to keep away. The forbidden caprisonne should always be bellow 40C and never popped.
If your ambient temperature is over 45°C, your laptop not being able to charge is the least of your problems.

I wonder how many people are watching this on a laptop thats sitting on a bed/couch causing the air vents to be blocked.
I don't even think you need a laptop cooler...I bought a laptop stand/riser that doesn't cover the vents. No need for laptop cooler with fancy lights and fans. Depending on the model those laptop coolers can actually blow warm air back into the laptop.
@@skytra7 i use bottle's lids lol
Had a laptop with a 1050TI, under load the screen would go black. GPU was overheating, and so was the battery. I fixed it by doing 2 things (neither fixed it alone): 1, i changed the BIOS setting to cap charge at 80%, and 2, i used MSI afterburner to throttle GPU by 10%. Yes, unfortunate loss of performance, but better than a brick.
It’s amazing how much of a difference a thermal paste swap after 2 years of heavy use makes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
@RectalDiscourse I, and many others, have seen improvements around 10-15°C. If the thermal paste is actually dried up, it couples much more poorly.
I didn’t know people still use laptops in 2020
Riley is easily my favorite of the crew, he cracks me up so much
Reapplying / refreshing your thermal paste can also help.
Yes. I don't mind it in the winter though, free warmth = profit
"reading or watching reviews", after the recent MSI incident I stopped trusting any reviews and will just wait a couple of weeks after a product release to see the public opinion on a product.
What happened? Did MSI send review units that were hand-picked/ modified for better thermals or something?
CutoutClips A small tech reviewer, TechTeam GB was offered money to take down a negative review of a Msi laptop. This called to attention the numerous other incidents of this happening.
Intel 10th gen laptop CPUs: "You think we're hot now? How about being unable to undervolt us? MUAHAHA!"
Wait, is that real?
Ekin Elçi Yes.
@RectalDiscourse Most actual gaming laptops allow it, and for non-gaming laptops, if your 5-15W U-series CPU is overheating, you should really reconsider who you buy your laptops from. (Looking at you, Apple. Who needs the fan to be attached to the heatsink anyway? Wireless cooling. Think different.)
I was really into computers back in 2021 when I bought my first gaming laptop. Seeing CPU/GPU temps at 85°C/70°C is a normal occurrence. But then my office bought a desktop PC for content creation with an i7 & 3050. I was stunned when it's under heavy loads the temps are only like 50/45. The best part? The CPU uses an Intel stock cooler.
miss the more important cause : 90% of the time is because of a dry/cheap thermal paste.
More like 10% bad paste, 80% shit cooling design like Rog Strixes, with no ability to control fan speeds.
me playing rust on intel hd graphica at 95 c
Reading that physically hurt me
Same here!
My MacBook air is literally like a grill. 😂
And if you use a Laptop that is older then 3 years a thermal paste replacement is a good option too.
I use my air purifier on the max setting and i put my laptop on top of it. From 80C, the temp go down to 45, it's a HUGE difference. During gaming too.
I wonder if it will damage my laptop in some way, cuz the fan is really strong in that thing. Using wireless keyboard and mouse and boom, laptop gaming is a breeze ;p
Ayo wtf
A common sense solution would be to put an eraser below the laptop's hinge to elevate the laptop at an angle to allow air flow. I did it and the temperatures went down.
you skipped the mostimportant part: checking the thermal paste and replacing it.
I'm kind of surprised repasting wasn't mentioned. The warranty on my Dell expired and I spent $8 to get some thermal grizzly kryonaut to repaste the CPU/GPU. Not only did it drop my idle temps, but I get a higher clock speed when under load. Load temps don't get any lower, though, because the laptop is set up to get as fast as possible while still keeping around 70c.
My friend would play mmos so much when we were in school, we flipped our laptops, put the head of them tower fans on it and hook it up to external monitors. I remember my laptop was so hot , there was a loud click and the thing never turned back on.
3:30 Not if its an apple product, it would void the warranty
Who am I kidding, owning an apple product would void the warranty...
@Cranky Frank But it gets the job done
My laptop literally just started having cooling problems a few days ago. It feels like this video was made for me.
It used to get cold in winters where im from. So much so that it was hard to even stay inside our home, until I bought this dell laptop from a few years ago. Now I use it at home every day in winters and the house stays nice and warm. I once tried opening chrome and it made the entire neighbourhood warm and cozy. Im so haply to own this fantastic laptop.
I don't get why some older games use my CPU very little, but temps are very high, while some newer and more demanding games use my CPU more, but temps are lower

@@Bramb0 Let's just say Riley's middle name starts with a K.
I thought you were going to talk about undervolting or changing the thermal paste. That worked for me
I bought a shitty laptop from best buy and the thermal paste had already failed months after I got it. It thermal throttled while just sitting with nothing running and the fans went ballistic. I popped it open and replaced the paste with artic silver and now it runs at a much better temp. I think replacing thermal paste should also be an option mentioned here
if all else fails then reseat the cpu with good thermal paste. they use really terrible stuff at the factory that dries out after 3-7 years and doesn't perform well when new anyway.

Don't forget to mention reaching high temps and cooling down to ambient repeatedly can wear out thermal paste and cause permanent damage :D
My laptop can run hotter than most expensive radiators

*_They told him to 'water cool' it..._*

when I need to cool my laptop, I would resort to elevation for access to more air and for the vents to blow out the hot air better.

@@raagamparmar179 savage lol
My laptop started running really hot after about 5 years of use, which made gaming nigh impossible. I opened it up, the heatsink was full of dust. Cleaned it and replaced the thermal paste, runs much better now.
Worthwhile piece of info: Some laptops have grill panels over the fans that can be removed with only a few screws to clean them. Its pretty simple to do as long as you dont physically break anything in there even if you just use a rag or wipe the dust with your fingers.
First techquikie in my life to make me watch a sponsored Ad fully while I was stuffing myself with peppermint hot chocolate and choco chip cookies
I think Riley is ready to challenge Linus for the sponsor segway championship belt
Also pro tip, cooling pads are dumb because the just blow air at the bottom plastic/metal, better to just buy some fans, cut some holes, get a 3/4 pin fan to usb converter (or do the wires yourself) and attach them to the pc
I recently watched an interview with a Dell Thermal Engineer on PCMag's channel and he specifically stated that laptops are designed to run over 90 degrees under load, and there is no problem with that. They have multiple sensors that prevent overheating. Thermal throttling under max boost is part of the design. So when you say, you should keep a laptop below 90 degrees, what's your specific source for this exact temperature cut off?
The source is harddisk makers, they say never to have your harddisks higher than 70C else your warranty will be void. Another source are battery makers which tells us batteries don't like heat at all and they make us remember that lithium was used as a bomb. Your laptop isn't made to operate at 105C, my desktop PC operates at 40C with better pc parts in it, though it has lots of room for airflow which a laptop does not. Lots of people were severely burned by their laptops on their laps it's what their doctors diagnosed. Where do you get your sources?
@Pervy_Sage no wonder why :-) nettops (chromebooks) got a life of 6 months, laptops 2 years....
And Dell has a crappy customers service, the day you are gonna have a problem they are gonna let you wait for hours on the line.
I don't think there is a specific source. Rather experience shows that allowing a device to run really hot for a long time could reduce its life expectancy. As he says in the video, manufacturers set the devices limit to 100°.... so lets set a slightly lower limit (90°) to maximize its life expectancy.
@@NovaThunder5 You are talking about hard disks and batteries, and I'm asking about making sure CPUs run always under 90 degrees. And I'm saying it's ok to run over 90 degrees UNDER LOAD, according to a professional thermal engineer. They won't "overheat" because modern laptops have multiple sensors to prevent that. The 90 degree cut off is arbitrary and not backed up by data.
Try changing Thermal Paste, Maybe that will help.
Using throttle stop, under vault to -80 MV and limit boost to 3.4 for all cores for a cool 70° maximum low temperature
How about cleaning the fans and maybe a new "coat" of thermal paste?
What's about the surface book 2 display part? It's cooled without fans, don't matter if it's laying on a flat surface because it's standing, you can't get the cover of because it's one peace or glued together, and even with a low ambient temperature it is still to hot
2011 15" and 17" MacBook Pros were notoriously killed by solder balls under the GPU coming free. You'd first get pink lines or snow on your screen, then it would stop working entirely.
I have seen it happen at least 30 times, man. At least.
This is why I never really understood why there is so much appeal and market pressure for ever thinner and more thermally compromised laptop designs.
Riley: Check the fans.
Thermal paste: Am I a joke to you?
Undervolting works too and in the battery setting set max performance at 99 battery percentage.
15 seconds ads heats my laptop in winter season so it fells comfortable
2:00 I still have that laptop, MacBook Pro Santa Rosa Core 2 Duo T7500 with GeForce 8600M GT, probably the most powerful laptop on the market, at that time. It was the worst laptop experience I had in my life. Working on creative audio projects while having the CPU constantly sitting at 100c, it literally gave me anxiety. At some point the GeForce did its thing and the whole logic board died. Good times.
Operate on a flat hard surface is good, elevate it off the surface is even better.
you didn't even mention redoing the thermal paste!?!
This is what solved the problem when my 2 year old laptop started throttling all the time even though it was clean and the fan curves untouched. I doubt a cheapo and annoying base with fans would have solved the problem
My thermal past is 9 years old and it’s 35W cpu hits 96+ C and thermo throttles. It idles around 50C
I have been watching Riley for quite some time now and he seems like a person who has never been DEPRESSED in his entire life. Why is he so cool?
First of all, a good cleaning once/twice a year dosen't kill anybody =)
My previous laptop that my aunt gave me was heating over 90 degrees Celsius when even playing GTA SA (remember, this laptop wasn't that underpowered that it couldn't run GTA SA, it had a Sandy Bridge Celeron B815 1.6GHz Dual Core).
This did not only happen with nvidia/apple.
It also happened in the mid-late 2000's with HP and Nvidia.
