is it normal for an Asus Vivobook 11.6" x202e with an i3-3217u processor (1.8ghz) to have idle temperatures in the mid 60s celsius? i got this thing mainly for school use, but i was also hoping to play some lower end games as well (like starcraft or civ) but under load the temp jumps into the mid 80s and the processor downclocks to 1Ghz . and 60s is just with it idle. doing pretty much anything with it sends it into the 70s.
seems like just about anything that uses more than 50% load on the processor causes the temps to get too high and then i only have a 1ghz processor.
has anyone else with this notebook gotten better temperatures?
its brand new, im trying to decide if its a bad one and i should just replace it and hope for better. or if its just really bad design and i should just get a refund.
Solution: for the reference of those who may stumble across this thread with the same issue, 65C idle temp for the x202e is too high. get it replaced.
there are a lot of reviews online saying that this laptop runs hot. and it certainly does. however, 65 seemed a bit unreasonable to me, so I was hoping to get clarification. anyway, after replacing (again) my new one runs in the upper 40s - low 50s Celsius when idle in a room kept at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. its still hot, and when pushed, still jumps up into the 80s, and still has throttling issues sometimes, but its not nearly as bad.
