Bad For Mac Cpu To Play Games 90 Degrees

We’ve all probably been told at one point or another that “playing video games is bad for you,” and a lot of that is a big video game myth.We’ve been warned against the health and social.

Hi, I have recently bought an HP Omen with the i7-8750h CPU and I am somewhat concerned over the high temperatures of this CPU. When put under load several of the cores go to around 95 degrees celcius and throttles and even when I am just browsing or doing other ligther tasks the temperature sometimes goes up to over 90 degrees celcius. Considering that the computer is brand new I find this rather alarming. Would you consider those sort of temperatures to be a problem or should I just try to relax? For your information I might add that I have not made any adjustments to the fan speed or any other settings related to temperature, I do use HP CoolSense and I only use the computer on flat surfaces in a chill room.

Thanks in advance. Thank you very much for your reply! Unfortunatly that did not resolve the problem.

I just tried installing the new BIOS and once it was done all I did was to enter Android Studio and emulate a cell phone and two cores immediatly spiked above 90 °C. I am aware that the processor´s max temperature is supposed to be 100 °C but the fact that I - without putting much load on the CPU (one core just throttled and it has a maximum usage of 74%) - reach those high temperatures on a new laptop does worry me.

Does anyone else here have an HP computer with the same processor, and if so, what kind of temperatures do you have on your CPU? Thanks for your input guys. I´ve been searching around and although those temperatures are way too high, they don´t seem to be extreme compared to other laptops with the i7-8750h. Maybe 2018 simply was too early to put six such powerfull cores into a laptop. It´s a shame though as I don´t believe that it will make much of a difference to let HP service the computer and it would be a total waste if we have to undervolt or otherwise limit our CPU´s just to get a decent life expectancy of those laptops.

First of all I apologize for my late reply, Kakamitoto. My computer has been away for service and I only got it back today. Hence I have not been able to log on here for a while. It is hard to give a good answer to your question. Many I7-8750h seem to have problems with high temperatures, at the same time this processor packs one hell of a punch. My laptop recieved a new heat sink during it´s service and even though I haven´t had the time to really test it yet, it seems to have improved my temperatures a fair deal.

Opening Android Studio and emulating a cell phone I now reached a max temperature of 80 degrees; before the service it reached around 95 degrees just by opening Android Studios. When I tried to put some more pressure on the CPU I managed to reach 90 degrees (with resulting thermal throttling) at one occassion but had an acceptable average temperature otherwise; far better than before the service. If I were to give you any advice, I would say to go for whichever one is cheapest. Unless you use your laptop for highly CPU demanding tasks which also uses several cores I would say that you won´t notice that much of a difference.

My guess is that it will take a while before software manufacturers really start to utilize all those cores that the latest Intel and AMD generations bring, so you will probably be safe with 4 cores/8 threads for a few years after which you will probably have to get a new computer anyway and at that point they have hopefully resolved the temperature issues with all those cores. Thank for your valuable information. I’m also a developper who need a good laptop so that i cant use android studio, Photoshop, and all those productivities software, i really need a good one i go for i7 8gen because of 6 core that will help to run smothly all software. For gaming i can tell you that i play a 10h on a week. So for games i don’t use it so much.

I think i will go for a cheap one until the new gen of proc can resolve this issue. Bluestacks 2 emulator mac download. I really glad to hear that you resolve the issue. I hope that one which i will buy could run without get hot or throtling. Thank you so much and sorry for my bad english.

Im using this one, before this im using the pre-apllied thermal paste, but i dont see any big difference on the temp after changing well H100i is too high for my budget, i also checked the pump RPM and its always around 5100-5200, is that normal? Anyway currently my case is lack of airflow right now, i only have stock fans on the back and fans from the cooler on the top, no fans on the front, u think this also causing the high temp of my cpu? And, is it safe if i play games at 90+C cpu temp in long time period?
