Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

That temp is completely normal for many gaming laptops.
For the GPU maybe, but CPU is kinda nuts.
Not really, I've got an AMD CPU and it's happily sitting at 97°C. The fans don't even ramp up, they're just maintaining the temp.
Yeah, mine runs at 95°C. Afaik, AMD tested the components, found no damage there and set it as the temp. It's been a long-standing part of AMD that their CPUs run hotter by design, without issues.
Im really wondering what the long term lifetime impact of that is though. Like if it survives 10+ years.
How old is a 5900x these days? Shit had me so nervous when I bought it used and it sat at 98° under saturation. I tweaked my fan curves a little and got it to a pretty stable 85°, but it seems perfectly happy. In fact it's my GPU (5070ti) that never really gets hot, thicc boi has 3 fans
My laptop (Intel) CPU commonly has cores sitting at TJMax and it's a decade old now and still working fine so..
Laptops are just built with very different thermal considerations to desktops
