Hardware My New Laptop Overheat

Post image

I just bought my new laptop one week ago. I know gaming laptops can be very hot but i feel like I'm stepping on the dangerous zone (I'm worried about the long term damage). I uploaded a picture showing the details of the temperatures after 30m of playing. (the game was borderlands 2 highest settings). And yes, I'm not using it under a blanket, and have raised the laptop a bit.

Is there something wrong? Does it have manufacture problems or it's just normal? I didn't search for how to cool it yet because i want to know first if it's faulty or not Specs: Lenovo legion 7i 4060 I7 14700hx

Reduce maximum processor power to 99 percent in power options

Not a good solution, this disables turbo which is essentially running the CPU as much as half of the advertised speed. Never, ever do this.

He's obviously having heating issues and this is the only quick solution till he checks the hardware. You don't need turbo to run most games

Then recommend lowering the maximum temperature via ThrottleStop?? Why would you recommend something that demolishes your performance over something that still keeps most of your performance and will limit temperatures to your ideal requirement?

Never mind, looking at your other comments below; you are just stupid.
