Default CPU core temperatures

Hi everyone

I have a new gaming lap top computer, and I've noticed occasional peaks in core temps.

Normally it runs 60 - 80 degrees Celsius. But once in a while, when running graphics intensive activities, some cores will spike to 90 -95 degrees. It only lasts for a brief moment before they drop back down.

Is this normal and acceptable? Or is this dangerous?

Thanks in advance.

Those Temps are a little high. At 100c the cpu will thermal throttle and possibly shutdown to protect itself. Make sure that you are not blocking the air vents on the laptop.

You can also use a cooling pad/fan that you can set your laptop on...

As long as below 100c, and it never consistently and stay at 90degrees. Because computer fan controls by temp, so the fan speed don’t run at 100% all time.
If you worry for the temp, you can get software to control cpu fan run at higher speed.

What kind of laptop is it? That's quite normal for most laptops that don't utilize a vapor chamber for cooling. When the temperature reaches 90-95C, the clocks will momentarily drop and the fan speed will increase in order to reduce the temperature.

i have an old laptop ('14) and i redid the thermal paste. it lowered 5 deg Celsius on avg. i also am good with opening the back and blow air thru the cpu fan, vents, and everywhere i can. i use my air compressor to have stronger air vs. the canned air.

over time, i think the heat degrades components. my work laptop looks to be in the same boat (lenovo) and i did a reset already and i have many problem on slowness.

If it's just temporary spikes, while high, not dangerous to the health of the CPU. Perhaps your CPU didn't have the best thermal paste job applied to it. I've seen that more often than I'd care to. At worse, you might want to look into undervolting your CPU. In laptops, this often helps to improve the performance overall and returns better thermals.

Usually you will want to adjust the included CPU/GPU tuning utilities. Fan profiles in particular. You do not have to run fans at 100% RPM all the time, but you usually should bump them up to hit 100% before the temp spectrum that is preset. I have a ASUS - ROG Zephyrus 14" and I had to change the fan profiles A LOT to get the temp targets I wanted. Out of the box it would thermal throttle. Usually the included utilities work fine.

Thank you very much everyone for the help.

I've purchased a cooling pad, which seems to help.

To Cruffler's advice, I've found the "MSI Center", an application included on MSI computers that among other things provides performance information and a means to adjust fan profiles.

Some modest adjustment of these fan profiles has made the problem go away - at least so far. The system is running much cooler. Both according to "Core Temp", a freeware program, and according to my fingers on the keyboard.

Thanks again. I'd hate for my new lap top investment to prematurely become a baked boat anchor.

What processor? Different processors have different maximum recommended temps. Intel processors generally run hotter than AMD, and laptops generally run hotter than desktops. One way to immediately and permanently lower temps is to apply new aftermarket thermal paste to the CPU and GPU, but I wouldn't recommend that if you're not very familiar with laptop modification and/or if your laptop is under warranty as opening it up will void the warranty. Factory thermal paste is usually garbage.

If it is an AMD Ryzen, they had some glitches, a fix was or will soon be available (I don't have one so I didn't pay much attention to the news release).
