My CPU reaches 81 degrees Celsius after playing GTA V for 3 minutes!Please help me!

No such metric exists , as far as I am concerned you can leave them at 100% all the time.

There is such a metric, (MTBF or MTTF, measured in hours) but it a meaningless one since it is not always published and also because it is not a standardized measurement as a result iternally determined by manufacturer, so it varies like how AMD's TDP is not the same as Intel's TDP.

What about fan speed? For a gaming laptop I'd always have it @80-100% and use headphones

 

[HiTech_32]

The 6th Gen Skylake and later Intel CPUs all support Speed Shift. You do not need an option in the bios to enable it. Speed Shift can be enabled in any OS including Linux and Windows 7 and up. It is not a Windows 10 only feature.

An EPP setting of 0 should be used for maximum performance and is similar to the Windows High Performance power plan. An EPP setting of 80 is similar to the Windows Balanced power profile. The default EPP setting is usually 128.

Intel rates the 6700HQ to be able to run reliably up to 100°C so no worries.

70°C, 80°C, 90°C really doesn't matter to the CPU. Intel designed it to run at full speed at any temperature as long as it is less than 100°C.

What would you reccommend to me about the fans speed while gaming?
Should I use the Extreme Cooling feature which turns the fans up to 100 % ?
Is that safe for the fans?

I've always been of thought that the words "gaming" and "notebook" are two words that should never be used together in the same sentence.

Similar to a hybrid racecar.

I agree, a laptop has no place gaming as a permanent solution. The only way I can justify the market of gaming laptops ,is people who are really into gaming ,who can't wait till they get home, or people who made a very bad decision ,and bought a laptop for gaming ,instead of a desktop. Then the final category of people who purchased a gaming laptop because the hardware tends to be superior to lesser variants, but ultimately do very little gaming at all on it.

i'm guessing 0P either had no choice due to finances ,etc, or simply made the wrong choice. However it's all relative ,because for all we know OP could spend his day on a train ,which is a segment of gamers often overlooked ,who have no choice but to either not game, or to game on a laptop/mobile device.

but nothing mobile will ever compare to a desktop or dedicated gaming solution

And it is declared as a true gaming laptop as I said,right?

Don't be confused by marketing terms. Anything can be called a "gaming laptop", the question is, what games and frame rates can it handle. Your $1000 laptop is high end for a general laptop, but considered low end for a "gaming laptop" - the good ones are $3000 to $5000. Crazy, right? For a toy that can easily be destroyed by dropping it. That's why serious gamers build a desktop - half the money, twice the performance - and you don't drop it or set it on a bed and overheat it.

Fans can safely be run at 100% all the time, how long they last is a quality factor.
I have had to replace a few H.P. fans due to the plastic blades snapping off.

Air flow is always an issue with notebooks. Consider the fact a tower case with lots of large fans that create a powerful "flow" of cool air through the case, plus a huge CPU heatsink fan assembly to remove the CPU's heat can be challenged to keep the system properly cooled. So it is no wonder notebooks struggle. Beside battery consumption, thermal issues inherent with notebooks is why both AMD and Intel have processors designated for "mobile" use.

Keeping the vents and fans clean is great, but sadly, most notebooks are not designed so users can easily expose the full innards for a thorough cleaning. That's why, IMO, calling any notebook a "gaming" or "desktop replacement" notebook is really just marketing gimmick. They can build the power of a PC into a notebook, but not the cooling. The better "gaming" notebooks end up needing cooling docking stations and then you have to wonder, are they really "mobile" computers anymore?

Also note that a processor can go from cool to over-heated in just a few clock cycles. And that 6700HQ can run at 3.5 Billion clock cycles per second! So 3 minutes is a very long time for a processor.

That said, according to the Intel ark specs for your processor, that processor has a maximum Tjunction rating of 100°C. So you do have quite a bit of wiggle room left.

Fan speed can only do so much, usually going to extreme speeds only shaves off a few degrees C, its absolutely not a linear relationship between fan speed / temp. Most laptops carry radial fans and they are built for higher RPMs (because they usually run at high RPM due to less air moved per 'round', the 'blades' are tiny). What matters more is the ambient temperature, or the 'air they can draw in'. Any degrees C cooler ambient will result in a linear reduction of temps of the hardware. This is why you see some reviews measure temperatures in 'C above ambient'; they show a graph with 25 C in it, which means the component runs 25 C hotter than your ambient temperature is at any time.

About 'true' gaming laptops... only a really fat one with even fatter ánd well implemented cooling can be considered a powerhouse. The rest is throttle mania and sells on spec lists but not on everything else. Basically this means there are a small handful of real gaming laptops in the absolute top of the product stack and the rest IMHO should be avoided.

His Laptop Would Have to be built like this to have ample cooling.

 

[Totally]

Bruh, even Dell/Alienware doesn't build them like that anymore, and even then that cooling was inadequate for the PIII/IVs that came equipped in them.

 

[Gungar]

It is classified as a gaming laptop.

Oddly enough ,it's fairly similar to the image this person who said it wasn't a gaming laptop posted. It's got a GTX 960 if the specs I found were correct , if that doesn't make it a gaming laptop I don't know what does. Certainly not being labeled with three letters (rog) that instantly increases its price by $500 doesn't make it one, unless of course you're a sucker



At the end of the day 80°C isnt unheard of for a laptop (while gaming) with the hardware yours has. You could possibly bring it to tech shop ,and have some thermalpaste that is more effective put in there ,but otherwise those temperatures are pretty indicative of what they should be

I am not talking about temps but throttling, i can assure you that the 6700 @ 80C isn't running @ 3.5 ghz.

 

[HiTech_32]

Could someone please check which is the thermal throttling point ( temperature) for my CPU?

Manufactures normally set this type of CPU to throttle between like 85-90+ cels for throttle's. this is indeed set by the Manufactures and can be set to what ever they want in order for them to feel safe that the warranty period is protected.

How do I set the fans up to 100 %, automatically when the CPU reaches the throttling temp?

well well well you still believe your fans wont last at 100% or you think it is too dang noisy to run at 100% during ALL gaming, but as mentioned earlier lets say that by doing that you put the mobo's VRM's under undo heat which ends in the death of a mobo you will wish to HOT HELL you did run them fans at 100% during gaming! This is as much for the CPU and GPU as it is for your mobo and harddrives and other electronics in the laptop.

EDIT look let me just say this, running the fans at 100% will not shorten the life span of the fans in these gaming laptops the fans are made to run 100% and only throttle back in laptops in-order to save battery life and noise, that it period. SO even though some will say no dont do it it will shorten the life span is mostly a myth, as the whole laptops integrity rides on the functionality of that fan and the manufactures KNOW that.

OK, I'll listen to you! I will use the Extreme Cooling feature always while gaming!

Just one more question! How do I recognize when the fans are faulty(after long using)?

Which are the symptoms of faulty fans?

usually excessive noise or super clickings or the heat for no reason has increased beyond reasoning or NO AIR exhausting.
EDIT DUST and Cigarette smoke are the real fan killers in these things!

Well I am happy to say that nobody smokes Cigarettes at my home,and about the dust ,I have put a tiny medical drape outside of the air intake,and I use a cooling pad which is elevated (I prefer it using it elevated!).

sounds great and nicely done on the exhaust mod you did and know it is usually needed, others models and make have this issue too that use them stock dust filters......one of the biggest heat savers came in the form of undervolting the CPU and using the fan to its full potential.

 

[HiTech_32]

I played around 20 minutes with the Extreme Cooling feature turned on,and the CPU temp were around 62-64 degrees Celsius ,and the GPU 59-60 while playing GTA V !
Then I played NBA 2K18 and the CPU and GPU temps were around 50 degrees Celsius!
I am so happy, and thankful to all of you who recommended me to use that feature while gaming!

 

[INSTG8R]

have put a tiny medical drape outside of the air intake,

That really won’t help with your temperatures. just learn how to clean it properly. You’re worried about high temperatures but restricting airflow...

3 fans, 1 for cpu, 1 for gpu and the other for a heatsink. It Kept a 3.4 Gallatin P4 running fine, Amazing Enough a 3.2 Prescott.

 

[dorsetknob]

Properly clean your laptop because with the passage of time dust and debris build up in laptop causing blockage of fresh air.

Good and sensible advice

Actually your laptop is hitting it's max temp which means in next 6 month your laptop will completely stop working.

Now the FUD

Also see tutorials about how to apply thermal paste because your laptop might have dried thermal paste on it.

and finally the Myth telling

Properly clean your laptop because with the passage of time dust and debris build up in laptop causing blockage of fresh air. 81 Celsius is certainly not normal CPU temperature. Actually your laptop is hitting it's max temp which means in next 6 month your laptop will completely stop working. Also see tutorials about how to apply thermal paste because your laptop might have dried thermal paste on it.

That is such a load of bs. "In 6 months your laptop will stop working" really dude? I've seen laptops throttling for years when temps get to high by people who use their laptops on fabrics.

Stop spreading fake information . Every system can have problems at any time, it can be today, tomorrow or 10 years from now, there is no predictability of it happening, it just does.

I believe this topic has been solved and probably can be closed.
