Thermal throttling

Status
Not open for further replies.
PC Is thermal throttling its intel core i7 770hq, 12 gb ram, 1tb storage and gtx 1050 asus laptop the protochot thing is set to throttle at 85 C and I under volted and everything is there a way to set the protochot to 100?
 
I don't think you want to set that limit higher as it means the heat load will get to 100C before it starts to throttle.
I'd be more interested in a) why is it hitting 85 and b) finding ways to improve the cooling.
 
100 seems way to high to me, especially for a laptop as all that heat has nowhere to go except neighbouring components.
I'd be raising it off the surface it is on as starters and also putting it on one of those fan forced, USB connected, elevated platform stands.
