Complain about overheat in Intel i5 8th Gen

Hello,

I would like to make a complain about the processor Intel i5 8th Gen. So, recently I've bought a new laptop with this processor and it overheats too much (mainly when I play games), it has around 60ºC - 80ºC deppending on what I'm playing. I saw the max temperature of this processor is 100ºC and I don't understand why it can't be higher than 100 cause it's supossed to handle games, so it should be designed for that... To be honest, I feel a bit dissapointed because I was looking for a laptop with lower temperatures and I spent too much money on it (around $1000)

Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Hello AdrianT95,

 

 

Thank you for joining the Intel Communities.

 

 

The temperatures 60ºC - 80ºC are still within specifications. It is expected the CPU will reach high temperatures while gaming. Depending on the design of the chassis and/or heatsink then the temperatures the CPU will reach. You may try contacting the ASUS* directly in order to check if they consider or not 60ºC - 80ºC as overheating. This link will give you their contact information https://www.asus.com/es/support https://www.asus.com/es/support

 

 

The following link will provide more information about overheating https://www.intel.es/content/www/es/es/support/articles/000005791/processors/intel-core-processors.html https://www.intel.es/content/www/es/es/support/articles/000005791/processors/intel-core-processors.html
