What is the Normal and Stable Laptop Temperature?

Buzz

Lately, using my laptop, I've noticed increased heat dissipation, especially while playing GTA 5. It feels hotter than usual, occasionally causing lag in Mytour game. Can you recommend software to check laptop CPU temperature, and what is considered a normal laptop temperature? Also, are there any solutions to reduce laptop heat?

Hello there, first of all, thank you for submitting your question. Your concern is shared by many users who have sent inquiries to us. Currently, there are several software options for monitoring laptop temperature, such as CPUID HWMonitor or Speedfan. Particularly, Speed Fan provides a wealth of information that readers can download and check.

When checking what is considered normal temperature, you should focus on three parameters: CPU, GPU, and HDD (or SSD if applicable). Mytour will briefly explain the average temperature when monitoring CPU temperature on laptops and computers.

- CPU: The chip's running speed is typically categorized into Cores by software (depending on the number of cores on the chip) with an average temperature of 30-40 degrees in normal weather conditions and regular operation.

- GPU: This is the component dedicated to processing graphics for the CPU. GPU temperature is usually slightly higher than the CPU, falling around 40-45 degrees in normal weather conditions without gaming.

- HDD: This is the hard drive, where data is stored. HDD temperature increases during tasks like copying large data or gaming. If possible, consider purchasing and using an SSD because the temperature of an SSD is much lower than the average HDD temperature, around 45 degrees.

Of course, these temperatures aren't necessarily accurate as they depend on factors like hot or cold weather, the room's ventilation (fan or air conditioning), and even the laptop's operational status. As you mentioned, playing GTA 5 on a laptop is genuinely risky because GTA 5 is a graphics-intensive game, causing your laptop to heat up to temperatures of 70-80 degrees. Our advice is to play GTA 5 on a desktop. If conditions don't allow, you can use cooling devices for your laptop or follow Mytour's guide to playing GTA 5 on low settings. Playing GTA 5 with low settings will make your laptop more durable.

It's crucial to maintain your laptop's cleanliness if you've been using it for over a year. Furthermore, from June to August, consider cleaning your laptop once again to ensure prolonged usage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What software can I use to check my laptop's CPU temperature?

You can use software like CPUID HWMonitor or Speedfan to monitor your laptop's CPU temperature. Speedfan offers detailed information and is user-friendly for tracking system performance and temperature.

What is considered a normal temperature for laptops?

A normal laptop temperature is generally around 30-40 degrees Celsius for the CPU, 40-45 degrees for the GPU, and about 45 degrees for an SSD. These values may vary based on environmental factors and usage.

How can I reduce heat while playing intensive games on my laptop?

To reduce heat while gaming, consider using cooling devices, playing at lower settings, and keeping your laptop clean. Regular maintenance can enhance airflow and prolong your device's lifespan.

Is it safe to play GTA 5 on a laptop due to heat issues?

No, playing GTA 5 on a laptop can lead to excessive heat, often reaching 70-80 degrees Celsius. It is safer to use a desktop for such graphics-intensive games or to implement cooling solutions.
