How many out there are having same problem as me ? I checked my cpu temperature during gaming just now. It reached 9x Celsius. (cpu fan not spinning) . Just afraid that sometimes when the fan doesn't kick in , it burns my cpu.

Hi xarive,

Please send in your laptop and we will check the fan and replace it.

A question for CPU temperature.

My CPU hit 82c during gaming (MSG Phantom Pain-all high settings), whereby the GPU not even 80c yet. Turbo boost was disabled by set the max processor rate to 99% in power settings. Normal ceiling fan no aircond, laptop sit on solid surface (wood) or glass flat surface table. Is this normal?

I tested in aircond room (temperature around 25-26c), same settings for all, CPU still get 76c.

My machine is applied with the diamond IC, I wonder if without will it gets to 90c?

Did you disable the Turbo Boost by pressing FN+9?

I also have similar problem... when playing Counter Strike GO... if enable turbo it hit 97 Degree celcius... GPU only 61 degree dunno why. disable turbo hit 75 degree

Turbo Boost is an automatic overclocking feature of Intel processor. You can disable that for lowering the temperature. Disabling Turbo Boost won't affect your gaming performance tho.

T JUNCTION: 100°C

Does it mean it is safe as long as below 100°C ?

I do sometimes get above 80°C, turbo off, no aircon only fan but during afternoon. Put on a laptop cooler.

I didn't use the FN+9 to disable, but I reduce the maximum processor speed to 99% in power settings, upon check the processor clock speed it never goes more than 2.57Ghz. Tested if I put 100% and disable using FN+9, it is the same result, so I assume this method will disable the turbo boost.

CPU temperature is generally higher than GPU.

I would say if it's below 97C then it's fine, we have seen a lot of haswell laptops get 95C+ with Turbo Boost enabled.

We can disable the Turbo Boost to make it cooler though.

New Z5 970M user Luqman who requested to take picture in our studio

Prince J, the warranty for our z5 by default is 1 year right? ( cover everything? )

btw will it hurt the speaker by using program to boost sound volume? cuz i find that the volume kinda low

Anyone has any problem with battery 95% not charging?

What that mean?
My one always like show me 95%(Plugged in, not charging).

Like this consider normal or not?

that's why i am assking =/

Mine default was 2 years carry in warranty. It's best you check your invoice.
Agreed with the volume, don't know is the settings, speaker or clip issue...Suddenly loud suddenly soft...

Some movie I watch got this suddenly soft issue. Maybe it is movie problem. Gaming is ok.
