i got this gaming laptop and its spitting out heat like fire dragon

i sit next to it and when the back is facing me, i can really feel it, can even hear the fans sound.


i swear this could be used for heater for winter.


this is my first time handling gaming laptop

is that normal

Yes.

normal...thats why most office laptop no GPU

Depends.

- How the laptop is designed (when new)
- How old the laptop is (Fans and vents clogged)

normal , also dpends on the laptop setting also .

ur laptop masih baru ke?
clean clean the fan if is old
Use for gaming sure heating la

try use build in card when you are not gaming.

It's normal for gaming laptop, no worries 😇🚨 if the laptop brand new, if old send for a cleaning service and replace thermal paste 😎🚨

What do you have on docker? S

3 containers running load of microservices. apps

Its the laptop producing heat la. What it got to do with fan n thermal paste. Many here in this tered give thoughtless comment. Lol.

This macam ppl asking is it normal sun in malaysia hot like this then tell ppl to take off cloth n install more fan.

It is usual. The proper setup would be getting a 1L thin client (if you don't need GPU), shove in linux headless and run your containers. You can throw it into somewhere that you don't need to bother. If GPU is needed, a ordinary desktop will do the job.

After that, just get a low power laptop to remote into the machine to do your things.

keywords:fans sound, overheat
get it to service, time to clear some blocking dust

turn down graphics acceleration and ultra or high settings

gaming get desktop

With shorts ... paling sedap at traffic light.

yes

hmmm i restart pc and didnt start docker services, now coooool je...

so we know whats the culprit now.

didi flying around freeeeeeeedommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

It's hot because the cooling system working as expected. It's your choice to operate the machine in a colder environment.

Mind keep thinking tibai bila mau hijau oh, telur suda mau masak lor.

I thought gaming laptop ran pretty cool nowadays after using RTX 40 series.

Just have to buy those feet to lift the rear of the laptop up by 15-20mm. Clear the heatsink and fan every few months. Acer Helios Neo 16 with i5 13500hx and rtx4050 is pretty decent.

I suggest you buy a cooling fan pad underneath it will be better

It's hot when it is processing something..

It is like our brain, when you rush for deadlines and brainstorming something, your brain heating up..
And if you relax, your brain reacting normal..

Gaming laptop or office laptop, both when in gaming/processing mode, it will heat up very quick..

normal unless its pc

yup, that's why use PC for game :X

Just use something lifts up the lappy will get better air circulation....
That is why SOC is getting more popular because low heat but no further upgrade option possible.
