Are Laptop CPU Temps like these normal?

[nessark]

I bought a new laptop and it has a i7-10510U CPU

It gets to 90-100 C degrees sometimes.

this is what the temps look like when i start a game, is this normal?

This is right after i startup a game:







This is after about 10 minutes of playing that same game:

WOW what a great day indeed, i figured it out. It was the power setting in the battery options. I had it set to Best Performance, If anyone that is having this same issue with a brand new laptop, please DO NOT EVER turn your power setting to best performance in the battery settings, IT WILL MAKE YOUR PROCESSOR WORK AT MAX FREQUENCY ALL THE TIME, and will hit the max on the temps very often. Turn it down to balanced or better battery life, You will still have the same performance in games , i noticed no difference with performance in games when it was switched to balanced, or better battery life, there was a slight lag on best battery life mode though. Best Performance is definitely a no-no, with a laptop at least. Its up to the GPU for games not the CPU and your CPU wont overheat like this.

Also when you have it set to Best Performance, the power options you set in the advanced settings will not even come to effect (e.g. max CPU %), they are only in effect when you set it to a lower power mode.

Now during gaming it doesn't even go higher than 65 C (CPU), which is the norm for laptops.


WOOHOOO!

Actually..... if you are trying to play AAA games on a laptop, you are going to go higher than 65 degrees. Your approach was not really a fix, at least not for big games. If you drop your clock you will lose performance.

You may want to try undervolting and using throttlestop. And CPUs can take up to 100c typically...
