CPU overheating

Question

i have bought a dell g3 3500 on july, when i gaming my cpu is running with 98-100C but the common temperature on other brands' gaming laptop are about 60-80 C at full fan speed , is it normal when i am having 100C on cpu everytime ? should i change new thermal paste ? or is there any solution so that the cpu runs below 90 C in gaming mode ?

Well there are quite a few reasons why your processor might be overheating.

It could be lack of thermal paste, insufficient cooling , improper airflow, bottle-necking due to mismatching components and so on.

You could try and change the thermal paste applied on your cpu.
Check to see if your processor and GPU are compatible so your cpu doesn’t get overworked during a task.
Change the type of cooler you use for your cpu. Stock coolers are almost never a good option so its a better option to get a air cooler or even a liquid cooler if your cpu is really top of the line.
Make sure your cabinet is placed in a place with plenty of space for air to circulate. Keeping it in a corner would restrict airflow which would cause overheating.

These are the only things i can think of which will help you with your problem. Try them out and hopefully you’ll get results!

I have found what appears to be a pinhole in the heat pipe. My G3 3590 started running hot with the fans at full speed recently also.

i had the same problem:

turn off intel boost,

configure your game in alienware to cool,

lock fps in geforce at 60,

press G button.

this way my laptop stays cool and the temp stays below 80C.

fans run with G at 92% or without G 80% so less noise.

i run WOT at HD ultra without any problems so far.

note: i also have a cooling pad.

I know this has been marked as solved. I just wanted to give you my experience on my G3 3500. I was playing games and it would go to sleep because it would go into a thermal shutdown mode. I disassembled my laptop by removing the 9 screws on the bottom case. Then I removed the 8 screws holding down the heatsink. I cleaned off the OEM thermal compound (some of it which was dry cracking) and used some good thermal paste. In my case I used Thermaltake TG-7 which has a thermal conductivity of 3.3W/m-k. I went from hovering around 98-100 degrees and throttling like crazy to no higher than 84 degrees playing the same game. The fan also doesn't need to run at 100%. I no longer experience shut downs while gaming. Hope this helps.
