is it too High for a laptop

[GamerRukario]

80c highest when playin' games in balanced powerplan(I always play in powersaver something plan......so it ill play around 65c)(i3-3120m with its integrated graphics)

Intel don't say: http/www.intel.in/content/www/in/en/processor-comparison/processor-specifications.html?proc=71465 - No Tcase.
But my guess is that its something like a : http/www.youcpu.com/en/cpu/Intel-Core-i3-3240T-3M-Cache-2.90-GHz?t=scores
wher Tcase is 65C

So 80 is probably too high. You need to check that the cooler is working OK - not dust and fan working.

the example you gave is a Desktop cpu not laptop cpu

Should cope

He's getting 80C on Tcase. Tjunction is closer to Tcore. So say 20 off gives 70C. So that's what I'd say is Tcase max. I think he's running the CPU too hot.

thanks for the answers!.....it does mean that it will emergency shutdown at 105c?...so is 80c still safe?...or maybe 75c?...

I think that i7Baby's reply is about desktop not laptops.....

Ideally it would be less than 70, but unless the fan outlet is choked with dust/fluff there's precious little you can do about it. I have reduced the temp in some laptops by renewing the thermal paste on the CPU with Arctic Cooling MX-4, but it doesn't always work and you need to know what you're doing as it generally involves a full strip-down. Other option is to sit the laptop on one of those plinths with cooling fans, never tried one so don't know how effective they are.

My Lappy aint dusty...It is a few months old..Im using it with a coolin' pad or somethin'.....it never went to a point that it shut down by it self

I'm sure it will be fine as long as it doesn't go much above 80, monitor it regularly in case dust builds up...I like to give the fan area a good blast of compressed air now and again, especially the output fins.

80 C is generally safe, but for an i3 and integrated graphics it leaves something to be desired.

so its okay.....It stops at 80c at playing games like Saint Row The 3rd(20-30fps)....and if I I limit it it runs 0-20fps....It runs fine but I feel the lag,...and does playing at 80c can make my laptop damage in the future?

Much depends on the solder used on your Motherboard, since lead-free solder was introduced into manufacture, the solder used is of a much lower melting point than before. With chips running at high temperatures, and this is especially true of some GPUs, the solder would melt then harden on numerous occasions causing microscopic fissures which eventually result in a dry joint. I don't imagine operating at 80 is going to cause problems, but excursions over 100 would be detrimental. So 'damage' can be caused, which is why CPUs will cease to operate at certain temps. The 'damage' can be repaired by re-flowing the solder on a board, but this requires expensive equipment and a high degree of expertise. Repairs are offered on the likes of Ebay, but I don't know how effective they are.

90 C is the max temperature for the PGA version of the processor, and 105 C is the max temperature for the BGA counterpart. These are the reported junction temperatures from Intel, so you should have some headroom still. Although you are okay, it sounds like your laptop's cooling system is not very good, so be sure to monitor your temps. Small cooling adjustments/mods can be made, but should only be attempted if you're experienced.

it seems that my cpu is a pga something...is 80c still safe for it or the maximum temparature of it being safe is 90c?

Must confess to being surprised that BGA was rated higher than PGA, but meanwhile I would just carry on using it knowing that if it starts shutting down unexpectedly it's probably getting too warm. As long as you don't push it once that starts to happen, you're unlikely to do any damage, and probably a good clean out will restore it back to a lower operating temp.

it is safe as long as it didnt shutdown?....my sister's former laptop broke 'cause its GPU burns or something...it keeps shuting down then boom!....after a few months it doesnt open anymore..and its my fault...hahahah...so that I have my own laptop now...I have to take care of it...

Yep, GPUs famous for that, especially in a range of HP Laptops where they used plastic heat pads to transfer heat from GPU to the cooling pipes. Simple remedy was to replace with copper shims.(Won't work for you though!)

is the Cpu and Gpu share the same Temperature? if its integrated? and that might makes the cpu heats a little more..

Sure, I imagine as it has integrated Graphics then the Graphics Settings will affect the temperature of the CPU, but not sure by how much. You'd have to experiment with different Graphics settings to see what effect they had...
