MSI GF65 Thin 95D overheating

Hello,

I bought an MSI GF65 Thin 95D Laptop a few weeks ago with:
- Intel Core i7
- GeForce GTX 1650Ti
- 16 GB of RAM

However, recently when I try to play a game like Garry's Mod, the temperature of my CPU easily reaches 70/80°C. I find that huge for a game from 2004 :/

Knowing that I have the same issue with Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege, GTA V, ...

There is a ventilation on the left side of the keyboard, but there is space to release the hot air, and above the keyboard, there is also the necessary space to take in cold air.

I have a hard time understanding why a brand new PC that is less than a month old, with very good hardware configuration, overheats on sometimes average games when it's a gaming PC!!

I also add that even at rest it can reach 70°C. I specify that it is placed on a wooden desk just like my PS5, which does not overheat

Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hello,

    That's the downside of laptops. They aren't large enough to cool down... And the more resources/power you demand from them, the hotter they get... and summer is not their friend... It's a 180 Watt model... which is already quite a lot for a laptop.

    For your information, only desktops/towers are capable of doubling the power of a laptop... which no laptop can do... without catching fire or crashing its motherboard...

    In my opinion, if it reaches 90°, you can go complain to your seller..

    Here is the manual https://download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/nb/16W1_v1.0_French.pdf
    all the environmental conditions are indicated there.

      I can accept that a laptop cannot do the same things as a desktop PC. I'm not naive, but a new laptop shouldn't reach such temperatures.

      Unfortunately, I have to keep my laptop since it's for my work and I have to move around a lot.

      However, that doesn't explain the problem.

    For work and travel, we are leaning more towards a desktop PC and less towards a gaming one, and it doesn't heat up as much... And MSI supports it... I believe it hits around 90° and operates that way... obviously, the processor at 50° lasts better and longer...

    There is no explanation (I wasn't invited for its study) and in my opinion, there is no problem... It works like that... and it needs airflow all around, above, and below.
