Hello! Hey is it normal to have CPU temps at 90-100celcius while gaming at high/ultra settings? Got my laptops back lifted up on table too and no dust there. My CPU is i7-12700H and GPU 3070. GPU temps goes 50-75celcius while gaming. All updates are up to date too. When gaming my GPU usage is almost always at 90-100% and my CPU is only like 20% and still getting so hot...

Hello @Stibelius

 

Thank you for posting on the Intel️® communities.

 

We understand you are worried about the processor temperatures, we will be more than happy to provide you with some information.

 

Please keep in mind that Intel® Turbo Boost Technology opportunistically accelerates processor performance for peak loads and it does not sustain the turbo frequencies.

 

The processor usage depends on the applications used in the system. When the processor usage is high, the temperature of the processor also rises. Intel® Processors have built-in thermal protection. If the processor gets too hot, the built-in protection slows down (throttling) and eventually shuts down the processor.

 

Please contact the system manufacturer to understand the system’s normal operating temperature range and to report an unexpected behavior of the system.

 

Hope the information helps.

 

Best regards,

Jose B.
