i7 6700hq running hot?

[damianbass89]

I own an MSI GE72VR-6RF. I'm having an issue where the CPU (an i7 6700HQ) runs very hot. sometimes while its under a 20% load it will run at over 80C and over 90C when under a higher load and will throttle once it reaches about 95C. I had to under volt the CPU to get temperatures stable, but even then it still runs at 67C when under a small load. Other owners of laptops with this CPU are reporting they are having similar issues. I love this laptop its awesome but I have never had an issue with a mobile i7 before. What could be the problem?

Well....being other owners are having the problem....it could just be a bad design as far as the cooling goes.

Perhaps there is some way you can modify it to cool better.

Well, Check Maybe The Fan Is Full Of Dust, Or CPU Termal Paste Is Gone, That Can Be A Solution, If You Don't Know How To Open And Clean Laptop Yourself, And If You Have Extra Money Hanging Around, Give It To The PC Mechanic, So He Can Change Termal Paste...
