Bought a new G550JK and have a few questions.

[arda_yilmaz_13]

Hey guys. As I said, I bought a new gamebook. But I still got a few questions. First of all the CPU's and GPU is overheating(I guess). When on desktop, CPU's -> 45-50 GPU -> 45 But when i join game or do something heavy, CPU's goes ->80-85 GPU goes -> 70-75. Is that a common issue or is that only happening to me. Oh, I nearly forgot. I don't have a notebook cooler. But PC's own fan's are working properly. Their air ways are open. If I buy a notebook cooler my temperatures go down? The second question is, G550 has an unremovable battery. I mean I can't remove it easily. If I use it plugged always, is that affect battery life? Because when I go unplugged, I can't play any games because of lagging. That's all for now. If I have an other issues, I'll let you guys know. Thanks \m/

Hey everyone!
So I bought my 550JK about one week ago and I have experienced these heating issues 😞
Since I have bought it, I have tried to play Assassin's Creed 4, but the laptop becomes really hot, and after around 1 hour of playing it, I get a blue screen and the laptop restarts.
I downloaded the CPUID HMWMonitor (thanks, Kelusion!), and, after 30 mins playing, my Max is over 80ºC.
I really dont want to get a cooler, but I'm not sure how to resolve this issue. I bought a new laptop to play AC4 (and other games) at their recommended settings, to get all full gaming experience, and things are not really working out 😞 Should I lower the settings? Should I wait for a cooler weather?
Thanks!

Kath1390, if you are getting BSOD's due to heat, you should return it to the vendor and get a new one, don't mess around with RMA if you are in the return period.

All thin laptops with high end CPU/GPU have problems getting the heat out under load, not just PC's but Mac's too.

I can't get a thin laptop due this heat issue, I do too much concurrent work and I always overheat my Mac's, but they don't crash - at least the ones I keep.

The G750 is about as small as you want to get physically to handle the routing, storing, and venting of heat. There is room in it for large heatsinks/heatpipes/structures and Fans/Vents to increase air flow, and even they get hot.

If you actually want to do heavy gaming for long hours, you need to jump up to a G750 class frame.

Let us know how this works out, and what you do moving forward.

This is going to be a huge issue for the next generation of thin 4k+ screened laptops with high end GPU's and CPU's - where is the heat going to go?

They may look pretty, and impress in the first 5 minutes of a sales video or first hands on, but 2 hours later of heavy gaming, where is the heat going to go? 🙂

My max temp is 97 but it I didn't see a blue screen. Or it didn't restarted itself. What kind of pc is that 🙂

As I know Lenovo has SLI technology which most of people do not recommend. Because it's a new technology and it's not even working properly. Some of games has optimization issues. I know you won't play games but you know you can't see what life brings you 🙂 But if you want high performance, I guess ASUS is a better choice.
