Hello all,
i have a lenovo gaming laptop with specs of an
i7 7700hq
gtx 1050
it also has an older cooling system where a pipe needs to go through the 2 fans to expel heat (the fans are on one side while the cpu/gpu is on the other side, which makes one side considerably hotter)
I have only taken notice to this recently but its starting to reach 90 degrees when gaming, should i be concerned? i have not experienced any delays of any kind during the gaming sessions nor have i crashed. i have also passed the stress test on xtu even after and before gaming when the temperatures are higher. the temperature usually sit at 55 during browsing aswell.
thanks
