Hi guys.
I am currently under the belief im getting faulty readings but I would like to see if its also something I may have missed.
I have this Laptop:
Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-4700MQ (2.40GHz) 6MB
GTX 765m
16 gig of ram
2 SSD's
So the issue is that when i monitor my temperatures (I use MSI Afterburner and speedfan as a double check) my CPU temp goes crazy when plugged in. When completely idle it sits at about 50C on battery and will rise by only a degree or 2 when plugged in. But as soon as the laptop starts working the temp goes haywire. Its never stable and will bounce around from anywhere between 70 - 95. Its not gradual change either its constantly bouncing every second 5-15 degrees at a time.
I then tried it under load so I installed the witcher 3 and monitored the temps again. The seem to vary anywhere from 85-99 degrees (again not consistant but its not as large in jumps, mostly around the 95 range).
At first I thought it could be something else adding heat to the system (the old HDD I had in there was next to the cpu but I replaced it with an SSD yesterday). I tried playing without the battery in there, after cleaning the fans, making sure the heat sinks arn't loose etc.
Then I felt around the laptop and its basically not feeling hot anywhere accept a small spot above where the power cable plugs in. The air pumping out the back doesn't even feel that hot really. Also the GPU temp is fine. it doesn't go over 70 and is in a stable temperature range.
Then I tried removing the power cable see what happens (still with the witcher 3 running). It immediately (0-2 seconds) drops by 20 or so degrees to about 70 and performance of the game stays the same and the temp stays pretty stable.
Could it simply be false reading caused by heat from the plug socket or something? The laptop feels fine physically and runs just fine as well. It doesn't shut down like it would if it was over heating. And I don't feel like its normal or even possible that a CPU temp could drop 20-25 degrees in 1 second.
Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks.
