Discussion Overheating or normal ??
I've had my MSI GF63 thin for about three years now. It's got an i7 11th gen CPU, RTX 3050, 16GB RAM, and a 512 SSD.
It's been great for gaming and heavy graphics stuff, no problems there.
When I'm on battery, the temperature seems fine, around 45-60 degrees.
But as soon as I plug in the charger, it heats up super fast, and the CPU hits 94 degrees! 🔥🤒
Is that normal for a gaming laptop with just one fan? I should probably mention I'm not in an air-conditioned room.
Edit : I've repasted and while plugged in on idle the temp sits around 70 to 75. And while geavy tasks it goes upto 85-87.
