7. After installing the program, leave only the launch checkbox and click the finish button.

   

8. When you launch the program, a message appears stating that you are using a trial version, which will expire in 30 days. It’s okay, it won’t bother you, just click the “OK” button.

   

Step two. Finding out the processor temperature

What should be the normal temperature of a computer?

The operating temperature of the processor when idle (no demanding applications are running, a browser can be opened or music can be listened to, in general the load on the processor is very small) – no more than 40-45 degrees. With an average processor load (30-60%), this temperature rises to 60-65 degrees, and maybe lower, depending on the processor and cooler. And under 100% load, the temperature can reach up to 90 or even 100 degrees, but remember that if the process remains in this state for a long time, its service life is significantly reduced.

On a note! If your processor gets very hot, not only under heavy load, then you should pay attention to a cooler that cools the processor. Either it is dusty and needs to be cleaned, or there is simply a lack of cooler resources, i.e. it simply cannot cope with the heat generated by the processor and does not have time to cool it. In this case, replacing the cooler with a more powerful one will help.

To find out the critical temperature of your processor, go to the INTEL website at https://www.intel.ru/content/www/ru/ru/homepage.html or AMD at https://www.amd.com/ru, depending on the manufacturer of your processor:

On a note! You can find out your manufacturer and its model in “Motherboard”>”CPU”>”CPU Type”.

Step three. Find out the temperature of the video card

Still in the same AIDA64 main menu, in the “Sensors” tab, under the CPU temperature, there is the “GPU Diode” item, which shows the temperature of the GPU diode, or in common parlance – the temperature of the video card.

Like the processor, the operating temperature of the video card fluctuates depending on its load. When idle, the temperature will be around room temperature, at average load – 50-60 degrees, at full load – up to 85-90 degrees. On average, the maximum temperature of a video card is lower than that of processors, which determines the presence of at least one, or even more powerful coolers in the video card case.

It is worth noting that it is necessary to periodically monitor how hot the video card is under load, especially if you are an avid fan of games, video editing or 3D design. The closer the temperature of the video card is to critical, and the longer the video card is in this state, the shorter the lifespan of this same video card.

On a note! Just like with processors, the critical temperature can be found on the official website of the manufacturer of your video card.

To find out what video card you have:

Step four. Checking the temperature of the processor and video card under load

If you still don’t quite understand how to install the AIDA64 program, as well as determine the temperature of the processor or video card, watch the video, which clearly shows how to do this.

Video - How to check or view the temperature of the processor and video card in AIDA64

In this instruction, we will figure out how to view the processor temperature in Windows 7. The methods described here are also suitable for any operating system of the Windows family. To check the CPU temperature, we will use both standard PC capabilities and special free programs.

The main reason that prompts the user to check the temperature of the central processor is the unstable operation of the computer. Various freezes, reboots, . Therefore, let’s begin to consider various methods for checking the temperature of a processor.

If you currently do not have any software to view CPU temperature parameters. This can be done using the Basic Input Output System (BIOS). Information about the temperature of the central processor is available to users in almost all versions of BIOS, with the exception of some laptops.

In order to enter the BIOS, you need to restart the computer and press the Del, F2 or other key at startup.

Advice! The configuration of the keys for different BIOS versions may differ, so if the standard buttons do not allow you to enter the parameters. See the manual for your computer or laptop motherboard.

After entering the BIOS, look for the lines CPU Temperature or CPU Temp, these parameters can be located in the following sections:

• PC Health Status (Status);
• Hardware Monitor (H/W Monitor, Monitor);
• Power;
• On UEFI boards, the CPU temperature is displayed in the main window.

The described method is not entirely convenient in that we cannot see the CPU temperature under load.

How to view the processor temperature in Windows 7, standard tools.

This method does not work correctly on all computers. Therefore, we will consider it to broaden our horizons. You can run the test using Windows PowerShell or using the command line.

Windows PowerShell is an extensible, open-source automation tool from Microsoft that consists of a command-line shell and an accompanying scripting language.

In order to find out the temperature, open Windows PowerShel and enter the command .

Get-wmiobject msacpi_thermalzonetemperature -namespace "root/wmi"

If you want to find out the temperature using, then open it and enter the following code:

Wmic /namespace:\\root\wmi PATH MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature get CurrentTemperature

As you can see from above, on my computer I couldn’t find the answer to the question of how to view the temperature of the Windows7 processor. Therefore, let's move on to considering special programs.

We look at the CPU temperature using SpeedFan.

Many users have probably heard about the SpeedFan program more than once. This utility is designed to determine the rotation speed of fans in the system unit, and also perfectly shows the temperature of the main components of the computer:

SpeedFan works with all versions of the Windows operating system. Therefore, it is suitable for all computers. When running, the program can build graphs, thereby more clearly showing us how the processor temperature changes as the load on it increases.

CPU temperature in Core Temp

Core Temp is a simple program, in Russian, with which you can determine which processor is installed on your computer, as well as check the temperature of the CPU cores. The program is distributed free of charge and supports all versions of the operating system.

This program has its own gadget for Windows 7, so if you want the temperature to always be displayed on the desktop, then install it in the side column. This way, you will always know how to view the Windows 7 processor temperature.

We look at the processor temperature using CPUID HWMonitor.

CPUID HWMonitor is the most popular program among users, as it provides free basic information about a computer or laptop, as well as temperature parameters of the processor and each individual core.

CPUID HWMonitor has the following useful features:

• the program shows the rotation speed of coolers in the system unit;
• shows voltage information;
• shows the temperature of the motherboard chipset, video card; hard drive.

Viewing CPU temperature for novice users.

If you are just mastering your computer and operating system, then the wonderful Speccy utility is perfect for you. The program has a Russian interface, and everything is described in it in a fairly understandable language for any user. The utility will provide you with all the information about the configuration of your computer, and you can also use it to view the temperature of the processor and main components.

What temperature should the processor be?

Let's look at the question of what processor temperature is normal. We need this knowledge in order to know at what values ​​it is necessary to sound the alarm and solve the issue of improving CPU cooling.

• From 30 to 40 degrees Celsius - if the computer is in idle mode. The Windows operating system is running without load, and no processes servicing the system are running.
• The processor temperature can reach from 40 to 63 degrees Celsius when running various 3D games, archiving and performing heavy processes.
• The maximum temperature to which an Intel processor can be operated is 72 degrees.

For AMD processors, the parameters indicated above are also recommended; with these parameters, the processor will operate stably and without failures. If the temperature exceeds the maximum, various malfunctions in the PC will begin.

Prevention necessary to avoid processor overheating.

In the article, we looked at how to view the temperature of a Windows7 processor. If after testing, you realize that your computer's processor is overheating. You need to perform the following steps to avoid overheating the processor and causing it to fail:

Important! Thermal paste should be applied in a thin layer, otherwise it will not perform its function and will lead to even greater overheating of the processor.

1. Checking the integrity of the cooler. There are times when the cooler or radiator on the processor does not develop the required speed, and therefore cooling becomes ineffective. Check this point using the SpeedFan program. If the program shows that the cooler speed is too low, replace it with a new one.
2. If you have a laptop and the standard cooling system cannot cope with the task assigned to it, then I recommend purchasing a special cooling stand.
3. Move the computer away from the battery. There are times when the system unit is standing nearby and, accordingly, the cooling system blows hot air, and this leads to overheating of all components.
4. Check your PC for viruses. Perhaps some

Owners of personal computers have long been accustomed to the fact that the operation of the system unit is accompanied by noise. If you look inside the case, you can see the “culprit” - this is the cooling system installed on the central processor, consisting of a fan and a metal radiator.

The air flow passing through the ribbed surface meets resistance and creates the same noise background. There are modifications in which, thanks to the use of heat pipe technology and an increase in the heat dissipating area of ​​the radiator, it is possible to eliminate the need to use forced airflow, resulting in an absolutely silent system. The task of all these solutions is simple - to cool the chips.

Remembering the basics of electrical engineering...

All microelectronics inside a computer consists of conductive tracks, transistors, inductors and other related elements. It is known that when current passes through a conductor, heating of the latter occurs, caused by internal resistance, which was brilliantly proven by Ohm with his formulas. In microcircuits characterized by a high density of elements, the heat generated by each individual block is summed up, reaching impressive values.

Thus, for the Core i7-3770K processor the power is more than 70 W, which is comparable to an incandescent lamp (the same one that can be used in incubators for hatching chickens). As the operating frequency increases, heat generation increases, resistance changes, and correct control of electronic keys becomes impossible. With existing technologies, heating of elements is an extremely undesirable factor, which cannot be eliminated (we will leave quantum computers and superconductors outside the scope of this article).

“Frying” the microprocessor...

There is probably no computer-related forum where the question of what temperature the processor should be is not raised. And this is not idle curiosity of users. The thing is that when the components heat up above a certain limit, the computing system begins to fail, causing application errors.

Also, overheating of the video chip causes so-called artifacts to appear on the screen - picture defects in the form of stripes, dots, and color palette distortions. Ultimately, the system freezes or even the component fails. Knowing what the processor temperature should be, you can control the amount of heating in order to prevent the “symptoms” described above.

Determine the current temperature without load

Every computer owner who wants stable operation of the computing system is obliged to monitor the temperature conditions of the main elements and take measures to normalize it if necessary. You can find out how hot the processor is using the Aida64 diagnostic program. Having launched it, you need to follow the menu tree to “Computer - Sensors” and carefully study the data in the “Temperature” block. The important lines here are “CPU1/CPU2...”.

The values ​​depend on the current load and the efficiency of the cooling system. For example, the base cooler cools the Core i3 2120 to 35 degrees at room temperature. We recommend thinking about cleaning the cooling system and organizing additional airflow if, without load, these values ​​exceed 45-50 degrees (for laptops, the permitted range is higher). Problems arise when the amount of heat exceeds the permissible level.

What should the processor temperature be?

The maximum temperature regime can be determined in several ways. For example, by reading the passport for the microprocessor, which is located in the packaging box. You can find out what the processor temperature should be using the same Aida64 - in a few clicks of the mouse. To do this, you need to open the “Motherboard - CPU” branch and find the “CPU Manufacturer” block. There is an active link “Product Information”, after clicking on it the browser will launch and go to the microprocessor developer’s website. Using Intel as an example, the user will only have to view the table, select Package Specifications in it and become familiar with the permissible temperature Tcase. Thus, the Core i3 2120 can heat up to 69.1 degrees Celsius. For AMD products, the algorithm of actions is the same. We strongly recommend not to look on forums for an answer to the question of what the processor temperature should be, but to use the data provided by the manufacturer itself. Note that sometimes websites additionally provide the parameter TjMAX, which indicates the maximum heating value of the core crystal (and not the Tcase lid). Its value is higher by about 30.

Examples of permissible temperatures

Below we provide a list of some microprocessor models with an indication of the permissible heating:

AMD Phenom II x6 2800 MHz with a power of 125 W allows temperatures to rise up to 62 degrees.

AMD Athlon 2 x4 2600 MHz has 100 W of power with permissible heating up to 70 degrees.

AMD Athlon 64 x2 2000 MHz has a power of only 35 W, heating up from 49 to 78 degrees. (depending on revision).

Intel Core i3 3240T can heat up to 65 degrees.

The Intel Core Core i5 3475S allows 69.1 degrees.

The top Intel Core i7 4770 can heat up to 72.72 degrees.

Reaching this limit value does not mean immediate failure of the chip.

Modern microprocessors use various software and hardware methods to keep the temperature within acceptable limits (reducing the multiplier, skipping clocks, resetting the reference frequency). But when these mechanisms are activated, you should not expect stable operation from the computer.

Heating under load

Previously, we indicated a way to determine the current processor temperature using the Aida64 information application. The disadvantage of this approach is the need for an additional program to create a load on the computing cores. Otherwise, the no-load (or negligible) temperature will be displayed. Because of this, a comparison of permissible and achievable heating is impossible. This limitation can be overcome by using the free OCCT application. After pressing the “On” button on the main screen, the process of testing the main computing units will begin. The adjacent window displays sensor data, including heating (Core#1...). Knowing what the processor temperature should be, you can compare the actual values ​​with the acceptable ones. If the microcircuit heats up higher than the manufacturer allows, then it is necessary to inspect the cooling system and/or replace it with a more efficient one.

The appearance of problems with a computer often forces people to look for an answer to the question of why this is happening. A high operating temperature of the processor is a sign of a malfunction of the cooling unit, and if high values ​​are maintained for a long time, “bugs” and “lags” may appear in the operation of the OS.

What should the processor temperature be?

To control the temperature, you need to know what the maximum and minimum values ​​are acceptable. This factor is influenced by several technical features, including the brand and type of processor. There is no single standard for laptops and computers, but it is easy to find an approximate operating interval for different modifications.

Fact! Stationary (desktop) computers, or rather the processors they use, cannot withstand such high loads as their laptop counterparts. On average, their maximum load is 15-20 degrees lower than in mobile models.

Thermal endurance is also influenced by factors such as the generation of the processor. “Oldies” tolerate a maximum of 70-80 degrees, while modern models are able to work normally even at 99 degrees.

There are two leaders in the production of processors - AMD and Intel. The first group usually has a lower temperature, but they have practically ceased to be used in laptops.

You can find out what temperature the processor is designed for from the documents. The user manual supplied with the laptop or system unit can answer the question. If the documents are lost, you can find information on the Internet on the manufacturer’s website.

Temperature examples

It should be taken into account that even one manufacturer, for example, Intel, has several models of the same product. If we take the Core i5 6200U as an example, its temperature will be 100 degrees. This is due to the fact that the processor is produced in a non-removable BGA package. If you find a configuration in a removable PGA case, then its operating temperature will be no more than 90 degrees.

The type of case directly affects the features of pins, microcircuits and contacts in the sockets. In non-removable cases they are sealed so that they are less exposed to temperatures.

Advice! The optimal processor operating temperature is calculated differently: it should be at least 35% less than the permissible temperature.

You can see the average operating temperature range of different modifications of AMD and Intel processors in the table.

Name	average temperature	Maximum temperature	Minimum temperature
Celeron	Up to 67	Up to 80	From 25
Pentium 4	Up to 65	Up to 90	From 40
Core Duo	Up to 55	Up to 70	From 40
Core i3	Up to 60	Up to 100	From 25
Core i5	Up to 62	Up to 100	From 25
Core i7	Up to 65	Up to 100	From 25
AMD A6	Up to 63	Up to 70	From 26
AMD A10	Up to 60	Up to 74	From 28
Athlon 64	Up to 60	Up to 80
Athlon FX	Up to 60	Up to 70	From 30
Athlon 2x4	Up to 60	Up to 85	From 30
Athlon MP	Up to 95
Phenom 2 x6	Up to 55	Up to 70	From 35

All indicators are presented in degrees Celsius.

Why does the temperature increase?

There are factors that influence the increase in operating temperature. Some of them are related to wear and tear and physical damage:

1. Severely clogged radiator. Occurs after 6-12 months of intensive use as a result of dust penetration into the system unit or laptop case. Heat transfer is gradually disrupted, and emergency malfunctions occur. In severe cases, when dust damages coolers, equipment shutdowns occur constantly.
2. Poor cooling equipment. If initially the computer has insufficiently powerful cooling equipment, then the active operation of the processor and other parts will lead to overheating. This parameter may also be affected by improper installation of the computer near the battery.
3. Incorrect processor installation. Most often, the problem is observed in desktop computers - among those who assemble the hardware themselves. Associated with improper connection of the part.

Sometimes the temperature can rise as a result of incorrect application of thermal paste or its complete absence.

How to find out the processor temperature?

You can find out the processor temperature using special programs. Pre-installed utilities are rarely found in laptops - only in gaming models. But in stationary blocks they are almost always there. Additionally, third-party software is used.

A free application for Windows - HWiNFO 32/64 - shows information about the internal parts of the unit and displays the temperature of the cooling hardware.

The second most popular program is Aida 64, but it has a drawback - it is paid. However, a free utility is available for 30 days with some limited functionality.

Some PC users use the Core Temp application, which provides minimal data about the state of the computer, but quite accurately determines and controls the processor temperature. The Real Temp program has similar properties, with the difference that it notifies with sound when the thermal threshold is exceeded.

Another good utility is the SpeedFan program, which shows the exact processor temperature. You can also use it to adjust the speed of the cooler and change the system bus frequency. Works well with all processors.

How to reduce CPU temperature?

The cooling hardware can be improved by increasing its efficiency. There are two ways, the main one is to replace parts with powerful, modern ones, or serviceable ones if the cooler is simply broken. The second way to fight is to eliminate pollution.

It is very difficult to clean a laptop yourself; you will have to take it to a service center. But cleaning the unit is much simpler; it can be done every 2-3 months. You can also use a can of compressed air to blow out coolers.

Eliminate surface heating

If the user is confident in the serviceability and cooling capacity, you should think about the surrounding factors:

1. remove the computer unit from the battery;
2. check the functionality of the ventilation holes so that they do not collide with obstacles and objects;
3. An upgrade of cooling technical equipment should be performed if other methods do not help.

As a rule, an upgrade involves the use of fans with improved technical characteristics.

Cleaning from dust

Another convenient and effective way to reduce processor temperature is to remove dust. Opening the case and blowing out the coolers is easy on a desktop computer.

If you have a laptop, entrust the work to a specialist. Dust removal service centers usually offer a thermal paste replacement service.

Remember the safety rules when servicing yourself: never work on a unit connected to the mains.

Controlling the thermal paste layer

Bad thermal paste often loses its properties, but even a good product cannot work forever, and periodically it needs to be replaced. You can replace the paste in the system unit yourself.

However, it should not be too much or too little:

1. remove the remains of the old substance from the surface using toilet paper or improvised tools;
2. wipe the area with a cloth soaked in vodka and wipe dry;
3. Apply a very thin layer, less than 1 mm; if you apply too much, the heat will take a long time to escape from the micro-cracks.

You need to apply the product drop by drop, pressing the radiator against the processor. Remove excess paste from the edges. Be sure to spread it over the surface with a thin object.

We use a special stand

Surface cooling pads are used only when working with laptops. To maintain a normal temperature, you need to work with the device on a hard surface.

Important! Determine where the holes for air to escape from the cooling are: left, right or back. This area should never be covered with foreign objects.

If you use the computer on a soft surface, use a stand with fans. It provides cooling by 5-7 degrees. This is especially important in hot weather, but we must not forget that some stands are too noisy.

Optimization

Optimizing the operating program is another way to reduce processor load. First, you should study which applications are running; you can do this by looking at the icons that are located on the right in the control panel.

Some programs are not needed for the computer to operate; you can safely disable them. For example, several antiviruses or controllers, storage, multimedia programs in standby mode.

Also, to optimize performance and reduce load, special applications such as Clock Utility and AVG are used. They help relieve the load on the OS and advise which programs can be disabled. Some laptop models have their own software to optimize system performance.

There is no single concept of processor operating temperature. It is necessary to take into account the load on the computer, but never go beyond the acceptable values ​​​​set by manufacturers for manufactured products.

Many PC users are tormented by the question: what should the processor temperature be? Sometimes it reaches large values ​​and people worry about whether everything will burn down?! I am very glad that you came to see me. In this article we will try to figure out what temperatures are normal for a processor and in what ways it can be measured.

The central processing unit (CPU) is the brain of the PC and is responsible for processing a large amount of information. And the more information it processes, the more it heats up and its temperature increases accordingly. I want to say that there is a very widespread opinion on the Internet that when buying a processor for a computer, it is better to refuse the BOX option with a standard cooler included, and buy separately and not spare money on it. Unfortunately, at one time I skimped on such an option and on my processor you can safely fry eggs. You should be more prudent and don’t repeat my mistakes.

So, what should the processor temperature of our PC be? If we generalize processor manufacturers, we can say that the critical operating temperature of a processor is 100 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is higher, then destructive processes begin in the processor, and sooner or later it fails. On average, the operating temperature of the processor is in the range of 60...80 degrees, and about 40 degrees Celsius when idle.

Some sources say that the normal processor temperature may differ for different manufacturers:

• Intel— when the processor is loaded, its temperature ranges from 60 to 70 degrees Celsius. If the processor is not loaded, its temperature should be about 35 degrees Celsius
• AMD- under load, the processors of this manufacturer are in the range from 60 to 80 degrees Celsius. When idle, its temperature should be around 45 degrees Celsius

Motherboard developers have provided various options for operating a PC and have crammed special sensors to monitor various parameters, including our favorite processor temperature. Most likely, even if you went into the BIOS, you hardly noticed that you can regulate the processor’s power yourself and set it to turn off when it overheats. Some processor models have automatic protection against overheating, but it is still better not to let this happen and regularly clean the system unit or laptops from dust.

Cooling systems

In general, there are three main types of cooling systems:

1. Passive
2. Active
3. Liquid

Passive cooling system- This is a regular heatsink on top of the processor. As you understand, the effect of such a system is not great. Therefore, we immediately move on to the second.

Active cooling system- this is a well-known cooler (radiator + fan). This type is the most common option for cooling the processor. Even on budget computers, the processor is usually cooled by a cooler.

Liquid cooling system- the most expensive and most effective. It is a special pump that
drives liquid through tubes connected to the processor. The liquid circulates and takes heat away from the processor. You understand that additional nutrition is necessary for fluid circulation. Typically this type of cooling is used in expensive (gaming) computers.

How to find out the processor temperature?

Two ways come to mind:

• Go into the BIOS and look in the special section
• Using specialized utilities

First option. We go into the BIOS by pressing F2 or Del when loading (different manufacturers have different keys). And find the tab System Health. There will be readings from various sensors, including processor temperature.

Second option. Installing the program AIDA64 or CPU-Z or HWMonitor. And there are many similar options. All these utilities show detailed information about the computer and also information from sensors. And of course the processor temperature.

How to reduce CPU temperature

If you are concerned about the question of how to reduce the temperature of the processor, then you should pay attention to the cleanliness of the cooling system, or simply put, the cooler. They often and thickly become overgrown with dust, and this directly affects the quality of processor cooling.

Personally, from time to time I simply take my home vacuum cleaner, put it on low power and remove all this dust. Usually I don't even disassemble the cooler. However, for better cleaning, it is worth disassembling the cooler, or at least disconnecting it from the processor.

In the vast majority of cases, this simple procedure helps to reduce the operating temperature of the processor and avoid problems with overheating.

In general, we looked at the temperature - made sure that it was within the acceptable range and calmed down. Otherwise, open the cover of the system unit, disconnect the cooler, place a frying pan on the processor, throw in two eggs, salt to taste and fry the eggs. Don't let the heat go to waste: maniac: . Well, if you don’t have enough heat, you can build yourself a potbelly stove and warm yourself from it.

Laptop overheating: causes and methods of cooling

And laptops are also susceptible to overheating, in my opinion less so, but the problem still exists. If after 20 minutes of use your laptop gets so hot that you can iron clothes with it, then it’s time to think about cooling the device. Its overheating can cause many problems: slowdowns, increased fan wear and even melting of the motherboard (by the way, new laptops automatically turn off when they reach a critical temperature).

There are many reasons for overheating, but the main ones are:

1. Pollution. Dust, lint, and other small objects clog your vents over time. The hot air simply has nowhere to escape, and it remains inside. By the way, this problem often occurs among those who like to place their laptop on their laps or bed.

Thermal paste is dry or missing. It fills the microscopic gaps between the processor and the heatsink. If there is no paste (or it has dried out), then heat transfer is disrupted and the processor simply does not have time to cool down.

Using Applications. If you play new games or run graphic editors on an old device, then get ready for the fact that in 40 minutes you will be able to fry eggs on your laptop. And don't say I didn't warn you!

Laptop Cooling Methods

Before we talk about cooling methods, you need to make sure whether the laptop really needs them. To do this, measure the temperature of the processor and video card using the program. For example, the well-known Aida64 application is suitable. After starting the program, go to the “Computer” tab, then find the “Sensors” item. All the information is contained here (by the way, the program is paid). The processor temperature under load should be on average 85-90 degrees (you can find out the exact numbers on the manufacturer’s official website). The critical temperature of the video card is 100-105 degrees.

There is also a simpler (and free) program called Speecy. To find out the processor temperature, go to the “Central Processing Unit” tab and find the “Average Temperature” option. Information about the video card is indicated in the “Graphics devices” tab. If you find that the temperature is above critical, then proceed to the following steps:

1. Cleaning .

Attention! If you are not confident in your abilities, then it is better to entrust this matter to professionals.

To clean, you need to disassemble the laptop and get to the motherboard. The difficulty is that laptops from different manufacturers are understood differently. For example, in some laptops, to get to the cooling system, you only need to remove the back cover, while in others, you need to completely disassemble the device.

Once the screws are removed and the motherboard is removed, it's time to start cleaning. To begin, clean the cooler and its blades from dust using a simple brush. Then wipe the vent hole, which is located on the bottom cover. The radiator grille (which is located on the left side of the laptop) needs to be blown out. For this, a simple hair dryer with a narrow nozzle (use cold air) or a special compressor that blows air under high pressure is suitable. If you are not going to change the thermal paste, you can assemble the laptop.

2. Replacing thermal paste .

First you need to completely remove the remaining old paste. You can use toilet paper for this. Then wipe the surfaces to be treated with a cloth soaked in alcohol and wipe dry. You can start applying.

Attention! Thermal paste is applied in a very thin layer to close the microscopic gaps between the heatsink and the processor (video card). A thick layer of paste will have the opposite effect, and it will take longer for the heat to escape.

There are several ways to apply the paste:

1. Apply one drop and then press the radiator on top. The paste will spread on its own (don't forget to remove any excess around the edges of the processor).

Smear the paste with your finger, plastic card or other flat object. After applying the paste, the laptop can be assembled.

There are several other cooling methods:

To avoid frequent overheating in the future, follow these rules:

1. At least once a year, carry out a complete cleaning and replace the thermal paste.

Do not place the laptop on soft surfaces (furniture, carpet) or on your lap to avoid blocking the ventilation openings.

If the laptop is on a table, then place a small stand under it for better air circulation.

Do not leave your laptop on the floor, as all the dust collects in the lower part of the room (20-25 cm from the floor).

These simple tips will help your folding friend not burn out prematurely.

I hope that you figured out what the processor temperature should be with the help of this article. Therefore, let me take my leave for today. Good luck! Come again.
