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?
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
