Hi guys,

I just bought an ASUS ROG GL552VX for photo editing and the CPU temps a quite high especially on one of the cores when i export photos from Lightroom and the fans are going to the maximum speed. The CPU (I7-6700HQ) reaches 91°C and stays at 49-55°C in idle.
I am not gaming at all.
Are these temps normal? See the screenshot attached.

Thanks in advance!

My work laptop with an i5 hovers around those same temps, idle and load. Laptops will of course run warmer. Make sure that you always have to intake and exhaust of the laptop unobstructed and from time to time blow out all the dust with compressed air and you should be fine.

I have changed the thermal compound and the temps seem to be normal now.

I can be closed, thank you.
