I have a Lenovo yoga i7 that I bought myself for college at the beginning of the year but I’ve been using it to game as I’m waiting to save funds to get a pc and temps are getting pretty high. I just don’t want to hurt the laptop doing something stupid. Any advice?

That’s what laptops are, hot
Lmao bro you good. Take care of it and clean it often.
I played on a 2015 pavilion, I think you’ll be ok. I’m surprised i didn’t cook my laptop with CSGO and Minecraft
Yeah this is pretty standard for laptops. Due to the smaller size it’s harder to get adequate cooling in laptops that can keep it at a good operating temperature under super heavy load. The way they get around this is they just throttle the clock speed and voltage of the CPU when it gets too hot to avoid it overheating. Temps like this won’t damage your laptop, they’re designed to handle it, you’ll just notice your laptop slowing down a bit when it reaches temps that high.
Do you use Throttlestop? I use it on my predator Helios 300 bc I get the same exact high temp “92” and it works wonders. I get upwards of 20C cooler temps on average and barely notice a performance hit most games
Never heard of it, I’ll definitely give it a try thanks
Those temps aren’t even badif it gets to 200°c itl probly be dead but under 100 you fine
why? stop being worried, it wont burn…
Try under volting
I actually use a laptop cooler and even an reusable ice pack from Walmart. Freaking WarThunder killing my laptop but not before I get to 7th rank tanks !
Try to elevate/prop up your laptop when playing games. It helps a lot.
get the iets gt500 cooler. should solve ur problem
they are too loud
u dun have to run it on full speed 24/7
still loud, i think making a diy cooler is much better, silent and cheaper option. 3 can use 3 of 5v fans and they will make a much butter result than gt500.
anything suits you
I’m just wondering why not screenshot and crop the picture.
You won’t. You might not be able to run most games very well on it but you won’t break it
Don’t worry much. Critical temps for those cpu is 105°C. As for trottling mechanism… Well, modern laptops start to drop frequency when 86-98°C reached (depends on vendor config) wich is actually quite rare but still happens with extensive loads. So relax and use your laptop. Or get a good colling stand if you are concerned about. But don’t forget to clean your laptop every 6 months or even more often if you have a cat
A computer has limits built into it so that it never gets hot enough to outright destroy itself (although it can wear out faster). You’ll be fine, you won’t break it by playing games on it. As other people have said, it would be a good idea to invest in a cooler, if only to make your gaming experience better.
