Hey guys,

I use an ASUS ROG G751 gaming laptop that's about 5 years old. Haven't used it for anything heavier than ARK survival or Rainbow Siege.

I read online that casual browsing isn't supposed to take your PC past 35 or 40 degrees Celsius; mine is at 50 degrees Celsius consistently when not gaming.

When running just about any game on Steam, my laptop heats up to 95 degrees Celsius. According to most people, this is close to the danger zone for max allowable temperature, but I contacted a professional PC repairman and he said gaming laptops tend to run pretty hot and it was normal.

Can anyone offer advice? I've been trying to try and clean my laptop of dust with a vacuum and air blower, but the way its constructed makes it impossible for anyone other than the manufacturer to remove the outside casing to dust the internal structures so I can only get to the keyboard gunk.

Thanks,
GAMER

 

If it's anything like a PC, then 95 degrees is very high. For high end games on a stock cooled PC, the average should be around 60 or 70 degrees Celcius maximum and when browsing the internet, the temperature should be more than half that. What's the cooling like in this laptop?

 

Oh my hecking gosh that is very, very high. You may just want to remove the bottom part of the laptop by whatever means necessary, build/buy a little cooling rack, and attach a small desktop fan to the bottom to get a good, cool airflow going through.

But, in doing that, it will become more of a desktop than a laptop.

So, you could also run some tests to see why the heat is what it is. Almost 99% of the time, it is high resource usage. Many programs like Antivirus, steam, and more, like too boot-up upon start, and in doing so, they run in the background, hogging resources and cooling when you didn't even want them to be running. You may want to check what programs automatically launch on boot up, and see if any of them are unwanted and/or unecessary.

 

Can you cook eggs on your laptop tho? My stove isnt working and I would like to borrow your laptop for it

 

I would try to get some high-power computer fans. Let the computer breathe or else heat will go crazy. Computer fans are nice because they go under the computer, and they let it breathe while fanning the system. Try contacting someone who can open the computer, then see if there are any things causing the unnecessary heat. Also try to go to settings and turn the quality down, that usually can cause a lot of heat. If none of these work, keep task manager open and monitor which apps take up the most RAM, and try to control the apps causing lots of RAM. Try doing occasional restarts and updates often. Steam is a background app because of the friends system I think so try to monitor and control that too.

 

I would be very careful if you put that on your lap at that temperature, ive had the same problem before with my laptop being too hot and i had burns on my legs

 

it is possible to buy a tray thing with fans inside for your laptop to sit on and it plugs in via usb into your laptop

 

My friends laptop basically exploded and started to melt/stick to his thighs. First degree burns, but the idiot wanted to see how long he could last with it on

 

okay so the problems could be cooling system is messed up, heat sinks, fans etc. some kind of malware causing it to over heat itself or over clocking it, background process causing it to over work itself or something else

 

Sadly the battery died a few hours after my warranty expired, so it actually IS a desktop now. It doesn't work without being plugged in. Also, as I mentioned in the OP, no part of the casing can be detached unless I take it to the manufacturer.

I'll look into the background programs, thanks. However, I'm not sure if they are what's causing the heat, since I have 32 gigs of RAM and four processor cores. The CPU usage on Task Manager barely tops like 35% when running games

Honestly, I feel like ASUS is a scummy company. There are literally hundreds of complaints of their batteries malfunctioning shortly after the warranties expire, and they charge hundreds of dollars for even a simple service. They use specialized hidden screws so that the only people who can open the casing easily is the manufacturer shop; the price quote they gave me for a battery replacement was around $850.

Also, I always use the laptop on my desk and not my lap. The thing weighs 10 pounds and is stupidly unwieldy when on an unstable surface.[/QUOTE]

 

danger pc may short out and other bad things i recoment selling it and building your own compter. My pc maxes out at 70 degress and that when i run overwatch and 2 mc alts at the same time

 

Jesus christ, get a computer stand and buy ur own sextuple fan set. I have one for my router keeps it nice and cool.

 

If your LAPTOP is running at 90 DEGREES CELCIUS, I think it will be time to throw that thing in an ICE BIOME.

 

Not to mention ASUS' poor customer service. That's why I'm debating about paying almost double the price for an EVGA based system with almost identical specifications to an ASUS system. ASUS are like EA but for computer parts.

 

As someone who knows more than they should about computers, your laptops temperature is pretty standard. Laptops don’t have great air circulation and tend to run incredibly hot which causes throttling on your cpu and gpu and may put unnecessary strain on your parts. Because of this once your laptop dies (it may be a while from now) I would recommend buying a cheap laptop for brining around with you and either building or buying a pc. If get or make a small enough one it actually isn’t that big of a deal to bring it to a hotel along with a small monitor.

do not worry sir, AdamCake and I have the same issue, though his somehow reachers 10 degrees celcius higher than me, which I don't understand how it's possible

this is what it was before it fried



I once hit 100 degrees celcius CPU while hitting 96 degrees celcius GPU

fun times

(and burnt thighs)

 

Have you tried submerging it in rice

 

Rice is the solution to every problem in existence.. got a dead body? Put it in rice and it will become alive again.. ur phone got was ran over by a car? Put it in rice and you'll get a brand new phone after a day or 2... u were in a car accident and ur car is soo heavily damaged? Again, put it in rice for a week. U will get a brand new car after a week

 

by that logic where the frik is my Rolls Royce I totaled last week?
