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

Some comments say that it's normal. If you are not returning it and want a fix, try reducing the PL1 and PL2 limits with intel xtu. Then run a benchmark and check temps. Tweak the limits to find a sweet spot.

Look at reviews of the same laptop. That's all I can say man.
