i7 7700hq Kaby Lake Overheating Issue Under Heavy Load on a Gaming Laptop

[HEr1]

Hi,

My CPU temps reach up to 90 C and hovers between 85-90 C under heavy load on a gaming laptop. I know TJ Max is 100 C but I feel worried for the long-term use of the processor. I don't think my cpu temps are in the safe zone. Is there any known compatibility issues of Kaby Lake with Windows 10? Should I be worried with my temps?

Thanks and best regards,

Harun

Hello Abadzekh:

In regard to your question, if the temperatures are below 100°C then the processor is working fine, as long as the laptop is not throttling, freezing or going off by itself you do not need to worry about the temperature. Also, there are no known issues of Kaby Lake processors having a temperature problem with Windows® 10. However in this case since you are using a laptop you can always get in contact with the manufacturer of it to confirm the information above. Also, we do have a tool to test the temperature of the processor, it was build to be used on desktop boards but you can always run it on your laptop to verify the report: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19792/Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19792/Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool Any further questions, please let me know.

Hi Alberto,

Thank you for the answer. I'm relieved to hear that. I've already run the IPTD but I don't know whether it is a reliable test. When my CPU reached its highest temp it said '' 49 C below max temp'' if my memory serves well.

Best regards,

Harun

Thank you very much for letting us know that information. Yes, perfect, that is really good, to get '' 49 C below max temp'' means the processor is not overheating, it is a very reliable test. Any questions, please let me know. Regards Alberto
