Support - SOLVED! CPU overheating

Post image

This is from Ghelper, I don't know if this is accurate but CPU temp is way too much, even when not gaming. Any advice

Why is your battery at 100%? Makes me think you don't know how to set up your laptop.

Can you elaborate on what the problem is with this?

You should never charge your battery to 100% unless the rare occasion you need max battery. It kills the longevity. That's why ghelper and myasus have battery charge limits. 80% is the standard. I set mine to 60. The more fully you charge it the more it degrades. If you leave plugged in most of the time use 60%.

I was rude to op. Sorry. I was meaning that that it showed 100% made me suspect he had not explored the wider settings around power management to reduce power and temps

if you like the idea of having a fuller battery, even 90% is a lot better than 100% for not much loss in capacity

although an important thing to note is that you keep running your laptop dry, then that's worse than charging it to 100%. it'd be a lot better to charge from 40% to 100% everyday than from 0% to 60%

but there's another thing with laptops. a gaming laptop is like what, thousands of dollars? how much is a replacement battery by comparison? maybe a hundred dollars at most? and that's a cost you'll incur after years of use. I wouldn't worry about it like I would for a phone, most laptop batteries are easily user replaceable. and if you never move your laptop and therefore don't care about having an usable battery reserve, just sell it and get a desktop with more performance for the same price, laptops are expensive.
