My Alienware 13 r3 overheating

[Jakevandee]

Hello, I seem to have a problem with my laptop. The cpu hits temps highest at 95 degrees Celsius and an idle of 55, where my gpu hits a cool 60 Celsius high and 50 idle.
If this helps, my specs are
I7 6700hq
32gb ddr4
Gtx1060 6gb
1tb nvme ssd
1440p screen

Is your laptop on the latest BIOS revision? You could try and prop the rear of the laptop a little off your desk to see if the temps decrease. If so then you're cooling assembly might be clogged. Mind you, what app/game are you using to tax the laptop?

I am using Forza Horizon 3 while using it, I am not home at the moment but once I get back I will check on the bios

So I checked my bios and it is the latest version

I noted many Alienware users have heatsink problems when paying games, recently, I found a smart laptop cooler specially designed for Alienware 15R3 and 17R4, maybe you can try it.

I am interested, except there is not a 13 inch version and I would rather not have something too big

Really sorry, Advancing Gene only have the smart laptop cooler for 15R3 and 17R4, also 17R2 / 17R3.

Had the same problem take the heatsink off and reapply thermal paste(ICdiamond or Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut liquid metal) you will need some nail polish if you go with the liquid metal
