I have an HP ENVY 17'' powered by an intel i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz. It has 8Gb RAM, 1TB HDD, I'm running windows 8.1 as well. I purchased this laptop from Bestbuy in the first quarter of 2013, so I know it's not the newest, but I would like to keep it for at least one more year until I graduate.
A few weeks ago I noticed that the exhaust port was really hot, like 150F. I downloaded OCCT and it says that the cpu based @2.40GHz is running at almost 3.4GHz under no load. This is around a 42% overclock which I did not do, and @3.2GHz under a 45% load (33% overclock). I ran OCCT test twice a week apart and got ruffly the same results where only on core reaches over 90C within 10 seconds.
If it helps OCCT says its at 12.68V
First of all the cpu cores are running around 75-80C under a 45% load. And around 60 with no load. So how bad is this for a laptop? Is OCCT reliable enough to assume that it is indeed overclocked? And if this is bad for my pc how do I go back to the base clock?
Thanks Justin
UPDATE; I GOT A NASTY VIRUS ON MY NETWORK FROM THIS "OCCT" JUST LETTING YOU ALL KNOW SO BEWARE
