    Hello everyone,

    I have a GT70-0ND (formally, it is a MSI-1762) for some gaming. However when I run it with some physics-massive games like iRacing and Assetto Corsa, the CPU temp runs to pretty high (70c with turbo fans ON and near 80 without). I didn't overclock the CPU. I have a regular maintenance (replacing thermal paste on the both heatsink and dust cleaning on heatsink and turbo fan) so they should be giving their best work already.

    I have a laptop stand with fans underneath (from CoolerMaster) to support my laptop however it didn't help much....

    Wondering any suggestion how could I bring down further more the CPU temp? 3rd part CPU heatsink? powerful turbo fan replacement possible?

    Many thanks!

    Near 80 isn't too much. I wouldn't mind. My 3630QM did 87 on burn test and 84 with turbo fan. Normal gaming hovers 72 -78 which is pretty benign.

    Thank you for reply! These temperature range are very high on a desktop-type CPU (even running 100% usage burn test, mostly keep under 75c) and that's why makes me worried....

    Laptops (slim ones especially) tend idle on similar temps that desktops reach on stress...
    My Acer laptop GPU did reach over 100 C 11 years ago, the self protect clockdown temperature was 125 C....
    And it did last 11 months...
    All successive laptops ever since have hovered on 60 - 70 (GPU) when idling until the recent GT70 which stays between 40 - under 60 C GPU+CPU.
