New Clevo N970HK1 high temperatures

Hi Guys,

I am new to forum. Recently I bought Clevo laptop and what it does rich high temps while CPU is under load. I only had it for couple of weeks and already send it back to pcspecialists UK which did re-paste CPU. They also did overnight stress test. Average temps are 86/88 but it goes up to low 90's. When I spoke to them they told me that low 90's are normal when CPU is under 100% load??? I would appreciate advice.

My specs:
17" screen, Intel i7 7700HQ, Nivida GTX 1050 ti, and M.2 SSD 256, 8GB DDR4

Thank you in advance for help

 

Yeah unfortunately that's pretty much right. You can repaste it yourself with IC Diamond and undervolt though to reel in temps.

 

Thank you for reply Galm. I was reading about benefits undervolting.

 

Under stress tests that's within Intel spec, as above undervolting can give more margin if you don't mind tweaking.

 

I don't mind doing it as long as it's safe. Could someone help me how to do it. I have downloaded Intel Extreme Tuning Utility but I don't feel confident enough to tweak it on my own.

 

Anyone can advice how to tweak Intel ETU please. Thanks

 

While it's safe for the hardware make sure any important data is backed up. Lower the adaptive voltage by 0.025v and run a test like occp and some usage to see if it's stable.

Keep doing this until it crashes. For a safe margin add back on 0.05v

 

Repaste with IC Diamond thermal paste and undervolt the CPU and your temps will go down... Try -50mv and then go down further till it crashes!
