1 Why is my laptop still running at 90c with 30% CPU?
I've had this MSI GL65 Leopard 10SFK-062 for 3 years. After a year I started looking at the thermals (didn't know much about laptops before this) and noticed that it would run incredibly hot even at very low usage (one twitch tab open) so I applied new Corsair TM30 thermal paste and cleaned the fans. This lowered temps by about 5c
I am in college now and use this laptop to stream my Smash Melee club's tournaments (OBS + dolphin at lowest settings) and it regularly stays in the 80-95 range with less than 50% usage.
I've since tried undervolting, reinstalling windows, many many malware checks, and still hit dangerous levels while doing almost nothing.
I need this laptop for it's portability and am worried about it dying, anything else I could try?

Hi @24578,
How much memory is installed in the laptop?
Streaming video (I assume that this is what you're doing) requires a lot of resources so maybe this is why the hardware is running hot.

It's 16gb of ram, RTX2070, i7
it's not limited to OBS, I've hit 90 just with a twitch tab open
thank you though!

if your laptop is still running at 90°C with only 30% CPU usage, it could be due to issues with the cooling system, background processes, or hardware problems.
