overheating issue

Unfortunately my clean install of windows 11 resulted in no appreciable difference in CPU thermals when plugged in and gaming . However, while gaming on battery, I’m getting a temperature range of 58C-73C along with a significant improvement in performance and quality that closely matches that of plugged in gaming. I think a step in the right direction but I still need to lower my 85C-96C CPU temperatures during plugged in gaming as I don’t want to wear out my battery from constant charging . Any ideas on how I might proceed?

send us that Speccy report.
any action on the cooling system choices?

I will try to get the speccy report posted within the next few days. I don’t want to resort to cooling systems yet as I am convinced there is a fixable issue and would rather address that then put a bandage on it.

sorry, I’m a little confused. I have generated the speccy report but how do I provide the URL to specific individual(s); or do you mean just post it to this site and if so, isn’t that a bit of a security concern?

absolutely no security issues at all.
any info in the report is inward facing, that is, stuff we can’t see from the outside world.
people particularly get spooked with the IP addresses - again, these are on your side of the firewall, they are LAN addresses.
depending on your network/modem setup, you may have outwards facing, or WAN, addresses, but these are already publicly listed on the web so DNS lookups can occur.

there is no info in the Speccy report that helps anyone get into your system.

nothing unusual in the Speccy report sadly.

apart from stripping the laptop to get to the processor and re-applying the thermal paste, I’d be recommending the far simpler option of resting the laptop on one of those active cooling pads.

to test
Turn power Off high performance
Dump avg - can be reloaded latter if you want

Any updates?
