Over time, dust and dirt often clog the ventilation slots on the housing. As a result, the air circulation and cooling components no longer work properly and the laptop becomes overheated. Using a laptop on the wrong surface can lead to unnecessary heat generation.
The reason for this is the location of the ventilation slots, which are not only located on the side of the laptop case, but also below. The notebooks small support feet usually ensure that air can circulate in the small cavity between the base and the housing.
However, if the ventilation slots are blocked by an uneven surface, such as a bedspread or a sofa cushion, the cooling of the laptop will no longer function properly.
This also applies when the laptop is used on the lap. Even external influences can affect the temperature development in laptops. The best example of this is the use of the notebook in the summer outside in the garden in the blazing sun.
Due to high outside temperature and direct sunlight, the device heats up faster and the laptop runs hot. This can also happen if the sun shines directly on the notebook through the window in summer. Often a lot more is expected of a notebook than a stationary PC. It is used on the beach, left in a hot car and usually hardly cleaned, at least from the inside. As for transportation, do not leave your notebook inside your car when it is parked in the sun.
Even then, if there is malfunctioning hardware, it might allow you access to files briefly before shutting down again. If you have access to the computer's interior, unplug the computer from the mains electric, then gently touch the components. Expect them to be quite warm, but none should be too hot to touch.
Take care when doing this, in case you hurt yourself or damage anything inside your machine. Don't panic if you hear your PC's fans working. That's perfectly normal. Computers typically generate heat without a detrimental effect. Of course, if your fans constantly run at considerable, noisy speeds, that's a sign of overheating.
However, if you don't hear the fan, that could also be the problem. A broken fan can be the reason your system is too hot, but how else can you tell if the machine is too hot?
Your main indicator is your PC's performance. Maybe it runs slower than normal, even when attempting to complete basic tasks like opening numerous tabs in your browser or running two programs simultaneously. Your PC might keep shutting itself down or restarting without any prior warning. And of course, if it freezes completely and shows you the Blue Screen Of Death, something's definitely wrong!
Performance issues don't necessarily mean the ideal CPU temperature is being exceeded. Malicious software could also be affecting your computer, so employ good security measures to decrease this risk. Just search for the app on your desktop, and you'll see which programs are running in the background and likely some that have recently been terminated.
Don't worry: this list will be extensive, and that's perfectly normal. Aside from a broken fan, poor airflow caused by badly-positioned components or blocked vents might also be the cause of overheating. Where is your PC? An enclosed space can trap heat in; dusty surroundings can clog up the vents.
You could also keep an eye on your PC's heat with a temperature monitoring app. Once you have those temperatures, then you can seek out whether or not they are normal. And, if a CPU manufacturer suggested a one-size-fits-all recommended operating temperature, it would likely cause more harm than good.
So, one of the only ways that you can get a good idea of what your CPU temps should be, is just by comparing the temperatures you are getting to the temperatures that others who have the same processor and similar setups are getting. Now, Intel does provide a maximum operating temperature, which we will get into in just a moment. And, if you have an Intel processor, that maximum operating temperature will help you determine whether or not your temperatures are approaching or hitting a level that is definitely too high.
An Intel Core iK is going to run at different temperatures than an older Intel Core i at idle and when under load. The iQM processor in an old laptop is going to run at different temperatures than a desktop processor, or than a newer Intel Core iG7 laptop CPU.
Most processors run at different temperatures, whether by slightly differing amounts, or by significant temperature differences. The next thing you need to consider is ambient temperature or room temperature. But, why is my processor running 3-degrees Celsisus higher than theirs? And, that difference in room temperature is why your processor is running at a higher temperature than the benchmarked processor.
So, before you freak out, make sure you take into account the room temperature your computer is operating in and factor that in. It may just be that that person has their computer in a much cooler room than yours.
But there are definitely others who will prefer rooms much cooler or warmer, depending on their preferences. In any case, ambient temperature or room temperature is an incredibly important factor to consider when trying to determine whether or not your CPU temps are too high.
Of course, you could be getting higher or lower CPU temperatures than others for a few other reasons, too. Right now I am using a mm AIO cooler. My cooler is quite a bit better than the stock cooler that came with my processor and, as such, I expect to see lower CPU temperatures from my system than someone else who is using the stock cooler will see. However, there are also system builders out there who have the iK under an extreme custom-loop water-cooled setup.
And, those builders will be getting lower temperatures than I am. And, the same is true for the thermal paste you are using. So, be sure that if you are comparing your temperatures with others who have the same processor as you, that you are taking into consideration the cooler your are using and the quality of the thermal paste that you have applied.
Another thing to consider in determining whether or not your temperatures are appropriate or not is the amount of airflow you are getting in your case. You may have an identical processor and CPU cooler combination as someone else, but you may be getting higher CPU temperatures because that someone else has a better case that is pushing more air over their processor. So, again, if someone is posting that they are getting better temperatures than you, be sure that you are considering the fact that they could have a setup that allows for more airflow and, thus, lower temperatures.
Overclocking is the act of setting your CPU to run faster than it runs at stock settings. The faster you run it, the hotter it will get. However, if you have overclocked your processor, you are going to have to look at your CPU temperatures with that in mind.
Perhaps that was a bit more information than you came for. If you have an AMD processor, figuring out what the maximum operating temperature is is a bit more difficult. That is another scenario where you have to search and see what others are getting. Up until the processor hits that maximum temperature, for the most part, it will run as expected unless it runs at a level close to its TJ Max for extended periods of time.
So, ultimately, if your processor is running close to its maximum allowed operating temperature, it is fine for the time being. However, if your processor is consistently operating near its maximum operating temperature while under load, that could be a sign that something is wrong. So, the good news is that, if you have an Intel CPU, you finally have a concrete number to work with.
That means that as long as my processor stays under degrees Celsius, it should be fine for the short term. All computers generate heat that must be dissipated to avoid damaging components.
Desktop computers are large enough to include large fans and heatsinks, and some customized systems even contain water-based cooling systems. In contrast, portable computers are limited in the amount of space they can devote to cooling; add to that the fact that batteries generate heat when charging and discharging, and you've got a very delicate balance when it comes to managing heat.
Some guidelines for ensuring that you don't hasten your computer's demise by inhibiting its ability to cool itself:. Careful Storage Never leave a laptop, or other devices, even in a well-padded and insulated case, in the trunk of a vehicle in cold or hot weather for long periods of time. Let It Warm Up Once you bring a laptop in from the cold or heat , allow it to return to room temperature before booting.
Prevent Overheating As computers have become more powerful they have simultaneously been generating more heat. Some guidelines for ensuring that you don't hasten your computer's demise by inhibiting its ability to cool itself: Don't use portable computers on squishy surfaces, such as beds, couches, or even your lap. Look around and you'll notice that computer makers no longer refer to their computers as "laptops," but instead use the term "notebook.
Turn your computer OFF before putting it in a bag; even a sleeping computer generates heat and can easily overheat in the padded compartment of a carrying bag.
