Demolishun3288693d@DreEleven almost everything requires maintenance. I have to clean the oils off my phone. I have to take showers. I have to clean my desk.
-
DreEleven53693d@Demolishun I do the same along with whipping down my Mac with a microfiber cloth from time to time so the finger print oils don’t set in. My issue isn’t the maintenance but the specs and given performance

Demolishun3288693d@DreEleven oh okay, I didn't understand. Thanks for explaining.
I had my laptop just shutting down running Fallout 4. Like power would just turn off. So I watched the heat on the GPU. It would climb high enough after 30 minutes that it did a hard thermal shutdown. So I cleaned it out and boom everything works again. It was ONLY Fallout 4 that did this. I could run a heavily modded Skyrim just fine. -
jestdotty408693dI'm always upset they put too much power in a laptop and don't care about the cooling

DreEleven53693d@Demolishun this sounds like a hardware needing a bit of maintenance issue and program inefficiency issue. The hardware is capable but the programs and OS’s aren’t optimized enough. 🤔

DreEleven53693d@jestdotty couple that with subpar optimization and you see why the average laptop is a toaster oven.

What does overheating mean in this case? Contemporary CPUs often boost until thermal or power limits are reached and then throttle themselves to clocks that are still higher than the specified base clock.
