What the frick? Any solution to this shit?
Wrong board
you bought a gaming laptop in 2023
Mine started to crash instead of throttling, the solution was using a desktop
I spent thirty bucks on this plastic stand with fans built into it and never had a laptop problem again. I always assumed external fans were memes. I was wrong in this case.
I refuse to believe external fans work
I agree(d). Then I finally tried one on a laptop that was getting too hot. It fixed EVERYTHING. Well besides it still being a laptop but whatever. They're probably still bogus for consoles or something.
Any links for it?
I got mine at a store. Some cheap Chinese thing I'd never heard of. So even the shit ones are still worth a damn.
Impossible.
Oh it looks like this thing but with six little fans underneath.
i'm this anon
seconding this
it definitely works, though its just a bandaid solution
they're in your local PC store for $30-ish, maybe $50 for a real nice one
hardest part is trying to find one without zoomer LGB colors on it
Well frick, might as well try
yeah do it anon
i had a gaming laptop i bought in 2015 with only an nvidia 850M in it
thing was overheating by 2018, but got one of these cooling pad things and i managed to keep using it until 2021 when i just built a proper PC
i still use that laptop from time to time even now, still with the cooling pad. mostly use it when i'm traveling now and can still play older games on it no problems
seconding this as a poorgay solution
cut some holes in it for ventilation, maybe a $5 usb fan blowing across the gap at the bottom.
poorgay mate of mine was using a dish rack with a USB fan at one point, worked brilliantly, just looked stupid as hell.
Also, if you've the wherewithal, take the thing apart and just clean and dust it every 6 months or so.
You should do it on your desktop as well, but a lot of people get away with not doing it on them cause there's a lot more breathing room. Not so much with laptops.
I bought one once but it was pushing the air upwards towards in the laptop vents so I thought it made no sense
the fans, probably not as much, but the stand thing with the holes? they help a lot compared to just plopping it on a flat desk.
I bought one of these ring binders for like £1 and put my laptop on it. It dramatically improved the cooling, I guess because it only has to sink 5mm into whatever surface you've placed it on for most of the fans to be blocked.
How many °C did it lower the temperature? And post said stand pls
get a USB cooling pad for under the laptop
shouldnt set you back more than $30
it helps cool the laptop extending its life and letting you play on higher settings
also crank up your a/c and if necessary get another fan blowing on it
>had a gaming laptop last 8 years cuz of all of this shit
if you were moronic enough to buy a "gaming laptop" you need to go back to plebbit or better yet get sterilized.
Undervolt it moron, no loss in performance.
>Buying any Intel laptop
The solution is to return/ sell that crap and get an AMD model.
>he fell for laptop gaming
oh no no no
>usually cheaper to buy a laptop with a 4090 in it than buying a 4090 on its own
>most ppl work FIFO trade jobs in the current economy
>can play vidya while traveling or on flights while other cucks are playing candy crush on their phones
>most of the games people play nowadays are 10 years old anyway
eh its not as bad as the old days
>usually cheaper to buy a laptop with a 4090 in it than buying a 4090 on its own
a laptop 4090's closer to a desktop 4080 than anything. Also, on the price thing, it's really not as bad as it was a couple years ago. When the crypto hype was at its peak, there was a very small time where price to performance on gaymen laptops was actually better, especially on the mid-end, but now, that things have stabilized a bit, we're back to laptops being worse on that end.
yeah but still doesnt matter when a 2060 runs literally every game on the market at 144fps max settings
whats the fukken point?
ppl mostly still play Dota, counterstrike, 5+ year old shooters and 20 year old MMOs
>economy still crashing
>things have stabilized a bit
emphasis on a bit.
At least now we're not also fighting miners.
I had an ASUS same thing, thermal throttle very easrly, causing micro stuttering. I redid all of the thermal paste, added better ram. nothing helped. Return it and build a mini-ITX desktop. You can make them small enough to fit into your carry-on.
My machine works
FN+Q changes fan profiles. I've had a Legion since last year. No issues and quiet as frick. Laptop won't thermal throttle till it goes above 100c, and that's hot enough to burn if you touch the bottom. If yours thermal throttles before that then you must have some energy saving settings turned on somewhere.
>What the frick? Any solution to this shit?
It exhausts from the bottom. Get a stand for it, preferably with a fan, and it will be a lot better.
I really like how gaming laptops caught up. I have an Asus laptop with an AMD 6800m for $1300 and it outpaces my friend's desktop.
Not sure if this applies to your computer, but I manually set my CPU to never exceed 99% usage and that cratered temperatures by 20-30 degrees for equivalent performance. It's the only thing I tried that actually worked.
What did you use? Throttle stop? If yes, share setting
T. Overheating y530 even after undervolting
It has been a while so I don't remember exactly, but it was on a Dell laptop. You should be able to find a way to do it on your machine if you look up how to put a hard limit on CPU usage.
I bought a laptop recently (not that one, it's a gigabyte A7 K1) and it gets pretty hot, the CPU hits 80c in SF6 for example.
Is it possible to undervolt a laptop or set a tempature limit so it reduces power ow whatever to stay under a specific temperature? If so, how would I do that?
the CPU is a Ryzen 5800H
how?
i recommend HP victus 15
How was it? Is it good?
>bought a laptop with a 3060
>can play anything on ultra or high
>can take my pc with me between rooms and on vacations
Truly a horrible deal.
this
>AIEEEE I BOUGHT A LAPTOP BUT IT CAN RUN ALL THE LATEST GAMES ON HIGHEST SETTINGS AIEEEEEEEEEEE
Dilate
Gaming laptops are NOT even close to an actual gaming PC, but they work well for playing less recent games on high and 60 fps while still having the portability and small size of a laptop. Just understand the limits of your hardware.
I play rdr2 and cyberpunk on ultra. What else do you need?
I have both.
I prefer the laptop.
Seethe more poorgay.
Receiving my first laptop ever today, wish me luck.
Research what undervolting is.
It will extend your laptop life span.

My biggest problem with laptops is that you’d expect a gadget you’re taking places with you to look presentable but all the ’gaming’ laptops are fugly plastic and led light messes. The decent-looking ones with sturdy aluminum cases, nice speakers, good variety of connector slots and comparable specs cost at least double the amount of a cheaper gaymer laptop.
Yeah, you can get a decent gaming laptop for cheap nowadays, but if you want something that's halfway presentable, you're gonna have to shelf up 2 grand minimum.
Sell your laptop and build a desktop. I have a laptop but I only play old games where my max temperature is 60°C. Anything above 70°C and your laptop will stop working after 4 years on average
I have legion 7 with a 3080 in it. I've had desktops for years. Started out by building myself, then just switched to pre-built. Today's gaming laptops can work as a desktop replacement if you can deal with the trade off. Get the fricking external fan and cap your frames at 60, and you won't have any heating problems.If you are an autist that needs 250 fps for whatever reason, then just get a desktop. I can play all new games without issues, but there is definitely a difference in feeling between laptop and desktop. The next buy is back to desktop for me. But, this laptop I have now will be great backup/portable.
get an external fan, either a laptop stand with a couple fans and/or one that suks the air out the vents like an opolar laptop cooler, brought down temps by 20C. helps if you clean any dust the laptop collects every few months and put in better thermal paste too.
I don't understand about laptop pricing. Why there is massive gap between 3050 and 3060 yet the price gap between 1650 and 3050 is very negligible? Also what is AMD equivalent of 3050/60?
Are you from the EU? Resellers are scamming you, anon. Check this. https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-G5-1920x1080-i5-12450H-MF-F2US313SH/dp/B0BZQPG3C2?th=1
No. Worst. SEA. Yeah, I can see retail here bought the merchandise from overseas and sell it with mark up.
Open it and clean the fans. No, don't clean the fan themselves but remvoe the fans: separate the fans from their cases and clean the air outlet.
Dust get stuck and compressed there, preventing air from getting out.
Just did it this week for my Legion 5 and it went from 90 C to 65 C in Street Fighter 6
>buying intel laptops
you should have bought AMD. intel put so much e-cores just to keep up with AMD and it is resulting to very nuclear warm pcs.
>Buying a gaming laptop in 2023.
With every next gen release crawling through the mud in high tier pc and consoles, the smartest thing to do is to wait until early 2025 to buy the rtx5000 and intel 15000 which will be when most games are next gen only and you can future proof the next 7-8 years cycle
Gaming laptops are terribly prepared for what is to come, specially the ones in the market right now.
Current laptops are already future proof. You will not be gaming at 4k. If you get something with a 3xxx (maybe not the 3050), you will be fine for the next decade. There's no huge leaps and cpus stagnated.
Look at the steam survey, most people are playing on 1650. It's all fine for many years nowadays.
What's wrong with 3050?
The 3060 just pack a better punch for a small investment. I wouldn't recommend it when the 60 exists. So of all the series, that one will be the first to become obsolete because it lacks the vram to compensate.
4000 series is good on power. So I call it a good time to get a laptop. Just need to be careful. Some anons will buy a laptop 4070 without realizing the bus/mem got cut down to the same as the 4060 and so it doesn’t improve performance much.
I saw benchmarks of the 4060 against the 3060 and they perform almost the same.
If both cards have similar values, sure, go for the new one. But i wouldn't drop more dollars just to get a 4060.
I baby the hell out of my laptop and don’t play games I technically can run if they’re too intensive. Reviews say it will explode in a year I’ve had it for 5 years. Just accept that it’s a bit weaker than advertised if you give a shit about the life of the components.
>bought a Legion 5 with a 1660 for £550 3 years ago
>the lowest throttle setting turns off the GPU entirely and runs games on the integrated CPU
>i only play 10+ year old games anyway because new ones are shit
>came with the upgraded battery for some reason as well, wasn't even included in the description
>battery life is like 10 hours playing whatever games i want
Amazingly comfy
