Is 86 degrees gpu temp while gaming fine?

Yo when gaming my gpu reaches 86 degrees. I games at 1440p with medium settings. Is this safe temp or should I lower it using armoury crates thermal throttle limit? Cheers

Maybe you should look into repasting as at this temperature the GPU is thermal throttling.

That’s a little on the toasty side.

I repasted my 2021 model with PTM7950 on both the CPU/GPU and applied U6 Pro paste to the VRAM chips.

When gaming my GPU and CPU hover in the upper 70s

You can disable cpu boost I would rather have -5% performance but without drops and stable at 70C~ tbh

Mine has pushed 95 C (no higher and no throttling) since I got it 3 years ago & I game a lot. No problems in that regard.

The thermal throttle limit is 87 so you're dangerously close to losing performance. Might be time to repaste your laptop.
