Hi guys
So today i've just downloaded the Cod Black Ops 4 BETA, to test it out. Before i did the BIOS update as we talked about in topic, so i flashed the 1.3.0 version (last one).
Also updated the nvidia drivers + activated the CPU performance mode in BIOS.
I've noticed computer is faster.
But when i joined game, i got this extreme high temps. Just to remember, i did a repaste a while ago, less than 6 months, and still getting these temps.
I have the Alienware 15R3 with i7 6820HK + GTX 1070 and 16gb ram + SSD 960 EVO 1tb.
I already repasted around 2 or 3 times with thermal grizzly. Since i travel a lot and are always carrying my laptop, i didnt use the liquid metal. The last repaste was in less then 6 months.
Anyone know what else can i do? Maybe inser a water cooling system? I really dont know anymore.
I live in Brazil, so i dont know if all the good components are easy to find here
Thanks guys. Here is a little screenshot of high temps:

CPU performance mode always makes your CPU run hot? I don't use it, if I want to overclock I just use Intel xtu, where I can control voltages etc too.

But your temps show a large core temp difference. But you also have to balance the heatsink to make the core temps more even. -
That would be really great @rinneh . And big thanks for your time and all of you guysLast edited: Sep 16, 2018Vasudev likes this. -

will look that. Hope @rinneh can give me some tips or a step-guide on how to balance my heatsink do fix core temps...

Normally with alienwares the issue is that the side of the CPU that is held by only one screw is usually the weak side. As an experiment turn on your laptop without the bottom cover and apply some pressure with your fingers on that side of the heatsink and run some stress test to see if core temperatures differential improves a little, it they do then you will know what you have to do.
The way I fixed mine was twisting the heatsink just a little so that side of the heatsink touches first that way not much force is required from the single screw. Then installing as always and it worked fine for me.

For screwing down, if you dont remove the motherboard, just keep pressure with your thumb on the middle of the heatsink while screwing down in small increments per screw. Go from 1 till three in circles till all screws are tightly screwed down. -
What he said is also true. It helps as well.

im With the COD BO4 open, and when notebook is UNPLUGGED (using battery), the core temps keeps at 60c, which is great.
Everytime i PLUG the charger, the cores goes up to 90c !!! 80-90c ! Anyone knows what is that and how can i keep the 60c everytime?
@Vasudev @rinneh @samaelestevez
EDITT: it is INSTANTLY. when i plug charger, the cores temp increases almost 30C !!!Last edited: Sep 16, 2018 -
What are your ambient temps? And what hapoens if you raise the back of the laptop a bit? Because the intake on the bottom is quite close to rhe surface it might not be optimal if your surface isnt perfectly flat. Especially when your ambient temperatures are high. -
How can i set the laptop to maintin same settings as if it was UNPLUGGED? Im asking because the battery settings were enought to play black ops 4 in ultra settings, and maintain the 60C.
If i could set the same settings in battery mode to plugged mode, so i maitain the 60c, would be perfect to me. Because i went from 80% to 6% in 30 minutes....
Do you know how can i do that @rinneh ?
i already changed settings at ALIENFX and set same setting to plugged/unplugged, but that didnt workLast edited: Sep 16, 2018 -
Not that I recommend disabling turbo as a proper solution. It is a temporary solution like I am running turbo disabled until Gelid thermal pads get delivered from Ali express.Vasudev likes this. -
how can i set settings to fix that...i mean, is there a solution for it -

Download Throttlestop. Check disable turbo and click save. -
sorry for the lack of knowledge of my part...
im asking cause, as you said, while in battery i can easily play the games and the temps stays on 60c....only when i plug ther charger that it goes up to 85c. -
Power setting pops up when you right click the battery icon in the notification area (bottom right corner)

If you play on battery your laptop wont run to its max performace due to power level.. You should notice difference fps or performance between using the charger and using the battery.. If you are using the charger and your temps are around 80 plus that is acceptable.. but ideal 60 plus or 70 plus is better.. Also it is not ideal to play games or running it in max performace using the battery as it will create more heat with the battery and reduce lifetime..
Edit:
Basically you need test your laptop using the charger and running max performance to know if your repaste is good or bad.. The main issue with the tripod heatsink as of tge moment is the pressure when screwing down is not even plus the thermal pads thickness is not even.. this has been stated by @rinneh alot..Last edited: Sep 17, 2018Vasudev likes this. -

Why are we all advising this guy to game on battery or with reduced voltage or limited clocks (same thing really). that's ridiculous. His temps are way too high and he needs to fix the problem not work around it.
The only way to fix this problem is to properly rebalance, repaste and repad the heatsink. If he's not done this before much and is doing it properly it will probably take around 8 hours to complete. Anything significantly less than that and it's not been done properly.
Op; you can search my previous posts on this and check my Sig for advice. It's not easy and will take you several times to get right on first go. My advice is strip it bare, take off all pads and paste and place heatsink flat on CPU and GPU. If it rocks, you know it's unbalanced, then sort pads next. Do the minimum, follow iunlocks guide, screw back together (worth buying spare m2 screws as they're ****) and check for gaps with tweezers and torches before repeating. DON'T over do it with pads, too much and it'll push the heatsink away from the dies. Also use a heat gun if you're doing any bending to soften metal first. There's loads more advice, it's a BIG job and you should read information on these forums carefully for a few weeks first before doing it and potentially bricking your laptop for good. It's not easy...

BUt on battery your laptop is pretty much running at half speed.
High Temps - Already repasted 3x - AW 15R3
