I am now not talking about my laptop, I am talking about his laptop. If notebookcheck was able to game at 70C and OP's runs at 90C+, there is something wrong.
But... you linked an article of a different model. The shell may look the same, the inside doesn't have to be.
Many of these midrange laptops, and the https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-F560U...=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B07QHL9KCW is standard configured WITHOUT a 1050; usually you get one or two meh heatpipes that run from CPU over the GPU to a single outtake/heatsink. A single radial intake fan manages airflow.
And that is exactly what this looks like. And yeah... a laptop like that not throttling? Dream on. Its standard procedure these things go to boiling point with any constant load. Here is that 'steady Witcher 3 performance' you quoted:
19 FPS does not make a CPU get hot. And therefore, the GPU can probably manage as well. Funny how they avoided lower settings
Also this, considering normal Ambient temps of around 21-23C....
Now add 10C ambient.
If OP wants to be sure, open up the laptop and you can see. But I have a better solution. Get your money back for this piece of trash. Lacking that option, some heavy Throttlestop tinkering is probably required to get the most out of this thing.
