Laptop CPU above 88 C but under 50% load? Concerned?
I have an Asus laptop. A lot of things have been faulty with it.
One stick of RAM went bad and then the HDD went bad. I replaced the HDD but never ended up buying a new stick of RAM. I left only 2GB in it on 1 stick. I don't know if this makes any difference but I think it's worth noting.
Anyways, while doing any sorts of gaming, regardless of the game (BF3/COD4) I get these temperatures but I don't know the reason why they get so hot if they aren't even above 50% load. I think the shut off point is 90c so I was concerned whether or not I should reapply thermal paste or stop playing games in general?
I appreciate the help!
