Hello,
The processor of my laptop is reaching 96C when I use my PC. I use Everest Home Edition to check the temperature.
That doesn't seem good at all, even dangerous. Am I mistaken?
If not, what should I do?
Best regards.
Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 17.0

A priori, there could be two explanations; Either there is a blockage in the ventilation system caused by a dust accumulation - this is the most common case - in which case a cleaning is sufficient, or your heatsink is damaged; however, that is much rarer.
You should also check how you are using your laptop to avoid blocking the ventilation ducts. (I read somewhere that Dell is not great in this regard...)
Now, is it really concerning... Not immediately, but in the long term it could damage your processor.
Try a little cleaning with a can of compressed air.
Furthermore, has your CPU been heating up like this for a long time? Have you cleaned it since you have been using this computer?

Hello
the i7 2620M processor also overheats on the MacBook, the cores reach 95° when power is used. ("peaks at 97°").
It's good that you regularly clean the dust, a ventilated stand can't hurt, but you might not be able to prevent the i7 from reaching that temperature in a laptop.
When the Dell Vostro was released, an article mentioned load temperatures of 83°, so you can still try to gain 2-3 °.

Good evening Oliv.
96 °C is indeed way too much for a processor.
Could you download Core Temp and confirm that this is indeed the actual operating temperature of your CPU?
Just to make sure that Everest isn't telling any nonsense.

Good evening,
So, I haven't (almost) used my PC since I posted my first message 20 minutes ago, so the temperature has decreased. But if I launch a game for example, it will shoot up again.
Here is what Core Temp tells me:

Good evening, could I know what kind of processor this is?

It's all from Dell.
It features an I7 - 2620M, 2.70GHz
6GB of RAM is installed and I'm running with an AMD Radeon HD 6630M.
Configuration more than sufficient for the use I make of it.

When it's at 96°C, where do you play????

Simply on World of Warcraft, with (almost) minimum graphic resources.
Is it really concerning? What can I do to lower the temperature?

Thanks for your reply, NenupharBundle.
It's been a while since it's been heating up like this, yes, I've gotten used to it so much that I no longer noticed. It was someone else who pointed out to me that it was abnormal.
I always use my laptop flat on a hard surface (desk), so in theory, dust shouldn't be too much of an issue.
I'll go buy what I need to clean it tomorrow, hoping that's all it is.
I'll also consider investing in a docking station. By the way, is it more effective for ventilation?

Good evening,
Laptop or desktop?
In general, it's dust that accumulates.
If it's a laptop, it heats up even faster.
For laptops, there are cooling stations to place under the computer.
Do you like what is good?! That's very bad!

Hi,
it really seems high like that temperature. The I7-2620M has a maximum temperature of 100°C and you're getting dangerously close to it.
https://ark.intel.com/content/www/fr/fr/ark/products/52231/intel-core-i7-2620m-processor-4m-cache-up-to-3-40-ghz.html
you should look into proper dusting, make sure the CPU is well ventilated, and replace the thermal paste if necessary.

The laptop CPUs are designed to go up to a maximum of 100°... (compared to 80 for desktops)... so it's a bit warm... clean the fans and put it on a stand... the goal is to bring that down a bit XD (normally it shouldn't go over 75-80°C)

I cleaned it with a can of compressed air, but without dismantling the PC (no tools). I don't think it was very effective.
However, I bought a cooling pad and my PC struggles to exceed 75C.
I bought a bigger one that I should receive soon, but it's more of an airplane engine than a simple fan.
Upon reflection, I think I've pinpointed the problem (not just the problem). I significantly upgraded my laptop from an i3 to an i7, adding 4GB of RAM, etc.
So I think the design of my PC and the fan were not made to dissipate that much power.
Thanks to everyone for your responses and advice!
