Temperatures on Rog Strix G16 G614JI During Intense Gaming Sessions

[Panqueque]

Hello!

I'm a user of an Asus Rog Strix G16 G614JI for about 2 months (A new device).

The model is equipped with a 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13980HX CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU.

I'm reaching out to inquire about normal temperatures for my device and any 'extreme or dangerous temperatures' that may be reached during sessions of demanding games like Red Dead Redemption II. The game runs excellently with the graphic settings I have (several options set to 'High' and some to 'Ultra,' resolution at 1920 x 1200, fixed FPS at 60, and DLSS in performance mode). However, it causes CPU temperatures ranging between 78-86°C, sometimes touching 90°C. In the case of the GPU, it's consistently about 10°C cooler, around 70°C, so I'm not too concerned about it. My worry is the CPU. I'm not knowledgeable about electronic components or computing, but I want good gaming performance without risking damage to a high-end device due to ignorance. Everywhere I look on internet, it seems the temperature range I have is excessive 😞

I have EVERYTHING COMPLETELY UPDATED with the latest GeForce drivers, I also use a laptop cooling pad and the 'Turbo' mode from Armoury Crate, but it seems not to help much in reducing the temperature further. Perhaps it's just my lack of knowledge. Are the temperatures I mentioned normal or anormal for these components?

If my temperatures are too high due to my game being configured very demanding, I suppose I'll have no choice but to further reduce the graphic options. I welcome suggestions if anyone has this game on a similar device to mine.

I'll appreciate any advice you all can offer.

eXplode advice is indeed sound; always use a cooling pad when using a gaming laptop. I use one and it lowers temps by 5 to 7 degrees .

What he says about Asus current cooling system is also true there are usually three small fans inside, plus copper pipes and thermal liquid . But the fans as they are when you buy the laptops often need tweaking as they are set way too low in my opinion. That's what I did as I also had high temps ( my laptop is similar to yours with same specs but it's the 18 ' screen the G18 model. I tweaked the fan speed using AC like eXplode showed you and I always set the power to ultimate for gaming. Now my temps even after playing Ghost Recon Breakpoint with ultimate graphic specs at 2560 X 1600 for a couple of hours average 79 degrees for the cpu and 72 for the gpu which is quite reasonable considering the hardware. Those laptop while not thin are not very thick and the heat may need a boost from the fans to dissipate when playing demanding games for long.
