Hi
I got this laptop about 4 months ago, from the gecko the temps were through the roof.
since early December CPU temps started hitting close to 97c while playing CPU heavy games like CS:GO.
Now for a month atleast 1 core hits the 100c mark after just playing for 15 minutes.
For a while I thought that the thermal paste wasn't working, but then I realised that my CPU is running at 3.6Ghz.
I downloaded Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and disabled Turbo Boost. Now the CPU is at 2.7Ghz and the temps while playing games are normal.
Why doesnt my turbo boost go away and what kind of damage can i expect from running my laptop at such high temps over a long period of time.
Thanks.
