Laptop Description:
I own an EVGA SC15 Gaming laptop (less than a year old) with the following specs:
CPU: Intel i7- 7700HQ @ 2.8 GHz- 2.81 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, Core: 1455 MHz, Memory: 8008 MHz, GDDR5, 381.99
RAM: 16384 MB, DDR4, 1300 MHz, Dual-Channel, 16-16-16-39
Storage: Toshiba NVMe THNSN5256GPU7, 256 GB. Secondary: 1 TB Seagate ST1000LM048 HDD
AntiVirus: BitDefender Total Security. (If it is of concern)
Since around a month ago, my CPU has been reaching temperatures above 90°C with just 15 mins of gaming while plugged in and drops back to around 60-70°C within a minute after I quit playing. I never had this issue before.
I haven't noticed this earlier, but 'now' my CPU runs at a clock rate of 3.4 - 3.7 GHz when plugged in (even when idle). Earlier the CPU would run at such speeds only when multitasking or when on load. I haven't attempted to overclock the CPU or GPU although my laptop allows this out of the box.
I have tried blowing out the dust, updating the BIOS, checking for viruses, adjusting the fan control. I assume the thermal paste wore off(It has been less than 1 year since purchase). But the clock speed seems to be the main problem.
Below mentioned are the temperature and clock speed readings at idle, while gaming and after gaming:
(Note: Ambient temps are around 37°-40°C around here)
Idle (on battery) -- Clock(CPU) : 798 MHZ , temp : ~45°-50°C
Clock(GPU) : 139 MHz , temp : ~45°-50°C
Idle (plugged in) -- Clock(CPU) : ~3490 - 3791 MHZ , temp : ~48°-55°C
Clock(GPU) : 139 MHz , temp : ~45°-50°C
Gaming (15mins, plugged in) -- Clock(CPU) : ~3490 - 3791 MHZ, temp: ~85°-90°C
Clock(GPU) : 1809 MHz , temp : ~83°-85°C
2 secs after quittting -- Clock(CPU) : ~3490 - 3791 MHZ, temp: ~80°-85°C
Clock(GPU) : ~1800 MHz , temp : ~80°-83°C
1 min after quitting -- Clock(CPU) : ~3490 - 3791 MHZ, temp: ~65°-75°C
Clock(GPU) : 139 MHz , temp : ~65°C
10 mins after quitting(on fan boost) -- Clock(CPU) : ~3490 - 3791 MHZ, temp: ~50°-55°C
Clock(GPU) : 139 MHz , temp : ~55°C.
Sorry for the lengthy descriptions. Any insights and help would be appreciated!!
