    your laptop is mostly idle and has 70C IN IDLE temp with 82% mem load? Nope. Most things not OK. And if you are on 8gb ram its one of the reason it’s not OK.

      I agree somewhat. I have a desktop pc with 32 gb of ram and I sometimes use 70-80 percent of it doing a bunch of things at once. Not often but just sometimes. Thats why I upgraded from 16 which is actually unconformable at this point. However I have a laptop with 8gb of ram that is soldered. All I use it for is watching stuff and playing some basic games and some browsing. 8gb is still usable but if you do anything more then basic web browsing then your in for a world of pain

      Idle? its 30% load and for laptop 70 degrees makes sense. As long as max temp under 100% load doesn’t go over 90-95ish then its okay.

      And windows caches a lot of things to make it run faster so 82% mem load makes sense. 16gb is completely fine for 90% of things as i have 16gb and the only time i ever max out my memory is when video editing or playing cities skylines, which are extremely ram intensive.
