Hello guys , I have an ASUS-F560UD laptop , I bought it 2 weeks ago and all temps were fine , 40c on idle and 75-~83c while gaming
But yesterday , my temps were really high , 50c on idle and over 90c in gaming .
Any suggestions ? I tried scanning for malware , there's nothing !
1. What were the exact ambient temps each time you took these readings ? Without having that as reference, no evaluation can be made. One day 27 and one day 30 makes a big difference.
2. What was used to provide the loading ... if it's not repeatable ... as in playing different games or different parts of a game, you're spinning your wheels.
3. It is useful to life up the back edge of the lappie to provide more intake air. As an engineer, I have a bunch of these lying around and they work great.
3. The heat sink / cooling system is obviously "not fine" if you are hitting 90C especially with ambients of 27 - 30C (80 - 86F) . I'd cut the manufacturer some slack at 95 - 110 F (35 - 43C) but certainly not at temps where we don't even turn the AC on. I have run Furmark on every laptop we've ever owned or gotten for a client and never saw 80C. Every desktop / laptop is designed to throttle ... however ... higher the heat, the greater the impact on aging, not only for the CPU / GPU but everything inside the chassis. No one walks into a store and says ... I'd like to buy a performance gaming laptop ...oh and BTW, I don't care if my performance is limited by throttling. Throttling simply means the cooling system is deficient. When it comes to gaming laptops, performance, battery life and quiet are incompatible with "slim" and "light" . Good heatsinks need mass, they need copper which is heavier and they need larger fans and bigger airways.
4. Just because someone puts a name on something and tries to foist on an unsuspecting public, doesn't mean they actually work.
a) Some laptop coolers do work, many don't.
b) Never plug their USB power plug into the lappie ... they oft draw more power than some laptops USB subsystem can handle
5. As for things you can do ...
a) research how you might be able to improve fan speeds, see if there is a key combo that switches fans to 100%.
b) Check and see if any BIOS options exist to increase fans speeds.
c) verify that they are still spinning since you said you can't feel any air flow
d) Check and see if MSI AB works ... it doesn't on many laptops.
e) Avoid rooms on higher floors or with exterior southern exposure if possible.
f) Move to an air conditioned space if possible. If the game doesn't need it, and you have a CPU with 4 cores / 8 threads use Task Manager Affinity function to disable some of them
A fellow from another forum made his own water cooling aided system, using some old parts and a beer cooler. Took a small / thin (probably tranny cooler) car radiator and affixed (9) 120mm fans that he had from old builds... all different models. Cut a hole in a cheap desk and placed a vent grille over it. Rad was affixed to the bottom of the desk and a water pump circulated the fluid from the rad to beer cooler under the desk which was filled w/ ice water.
Since you ony have it 2 weeks, if you can't solve the problem would you considered returning it assuming regas in yur area allow ? I don't know where yu are but worth noting that Asus does not actually "make" a laptop. MSI does, and thay have generally done better in this area. The vast majority of laptops on the market are manufactured by a small handful of Taiwan-based original design manufacturer (ODM), although their production bases are located mostly in mainland china.
Quanta sells to (among others) HP, Lenovo, Apple, Acer, Dell, NEC, and Fujitsu
Compal sells to (among others) Acer, Dell, Lenovo and HP
Wistron (former manufacturing & design division of Acer) sells to Dell, Acer, Lenovo and HP
Inventec sells to HP, Dell and Lenovo;
Pegatron sells to Asus, Apple, Dell and Acer
Foxconn sells to Asus, Dell, HP and Apple
Flextronics (former Arima Computer Corporation notebook division) sells to HP
Like PSUs various platforms are used, slight variations of which are sold to the retail vendors. These are all built using the same componentry, by the same folks on the same assembly lines with stying and packaging oft being the only differences between competitors' models. If you can't resolve your problems within the return period, and one is available in your area, I would consider looking at custom build laptops from a Clevo distributor. Their cooling systems are much more robust and they also have a key combo to engage 100% rm fans speeds. Usually cheaper than the mass market brands. Remember tho, lays of physics and thermodynamics still apply. With proper cooling, forget about 4 pound skinny laptops. Clevo also builds laptops with desktop components (i.e. i9-9900K ) and their cooling systems manage to keep even those cool w/o throttling.
A "light gaming" lappie w/ 1050 should run ya about $850 but that still will include some compromises. A full blown 17" gaming laptop w/ i7-9750H, 2 x 8GB, 144 hz gaming screen 2060 should run $1300 ish .
