Hi,

I just bought a new laptop for gaming and i saw that the CPU is getting pretty hot and that the fans makes a lot of noises. So i wondered if it is overheating? The temps are 40-50 degres celsius when idle but when i am playing game like csgo or rocket league the temps gets to 75-85 degres should i be worried

PS : my laptop is the ROG GL703 VM with a GTX 1060.

It could seem normal for that type of laptop. I used to have one that ran at 71C and was just fine. If you are getting other problems that is caused from high temps than that is an issue. Otherwise if not then you probably are fine. Laptop fans will sound louder because they are smaller fans spinning faster. Unlike a tower cooler those are bigger fans

Yes that does seem pretty high, Is the laptop exhaust fan being blocked by anything that's prevent the CPU from cooling?

Thank you for the quick answer, but i have another questions. Do you think i should buy a cooling pad and if i do will it really affect the temps for like 10 degres? Because i don't really like the fact that my laptop is going to some 80-85 degres while playing game like rocket league.

So it does have only 1 side exhaust on the side? https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&authuser=0&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1920&bih=974&ei=BJJSWr3eMou4jwTznqOgCg&q=laptop+side+exhaust&oq=laptop+side+exhaust&gs_l=img.3...1705.4195.0.4299.21.11.0.6.6.0.312.1437.0j4j2j1.7.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..8.7.1436.0..0j0i24k1.0.ibikqjL2CoE#imgrc=h76_eGZICJVXGM:

You should be perfectly fine! Just tell if you notice new problems. Im reading that others say the fan does run loud when it needs to cool. Don't worry, just game!

Hi i got another question. Is it normal that sometime the temp goe to the 60 to 70 to 80 or 90 in one game. Nothing special is happening but sometimes the temps goes to 60 all the game and other times it goes to 80. Also when it goes down like to 70 it will come back to 85 but like in 1 second.
