|
 |
I have a MSI GE70 laptop. Everything was going smoothly for almost 2 years and I suddenly started getting drops in games.
I downloaded Open Hardware Monitor to monitor the temps
the CPU cores are at 80-83 degrees
The GPU is 85 with 97 registered as maximum.
I don't even have to be a pro to know that it's too much.
Now the question: is something wrong with cooling in my laptop, or it's possibly because it's around 30 degrees in my room ?

Probably the 30 degrees in your room + GPU being stressed.
You could always get those coolers to put under it, those were always quite popular in the summer in Belgium 
Quickest and easiest test would be: go outside or a basement if its cooler and see if it persists.

get a tin compressed air and blow the dust out of it (or use a compressor). if you know what you are doing disamble that thing and replace the thermal compound. and ofc its summer, 30°C in your room makes a huge difference for cooling compared to normal 22°C

Get something that you can put below the laptop, like two bars of wood/metal, one for each side that will leave it 3-4 cm from the desk, that should be enough to cool it a bit.
Oh and gaming laptops

this! on most laptops it's not that hard, try to open it and clean it properly. better do it because i had so many friends with dying nvidia laptop cards... take care of it. maybe you can't even replace it if something is happening.

This. After 2 years I'd say it's quite necessary, especially in a laptop...

depends on how its used (i.e. its sitting only on the desk or does he use it on the couch or even in bed <-- then it gathers much more dust) and what the environment is (maybe he has cats -> very bad for the laptop). but generally i would say yes u are right, and after 2 years he is out of warranty so it doesnt matter
