overheating on my CPU even though i cleaned out my fan

Sary_ · Jul 13, 2017

i play on a laptop (ASUS R510D) which i shouldn't be. anyways i have been getting insanely hot temps on my core (up to 92 C) and sometimes shuts its self off. i have cleaned out my fan and im getting good air flow out of it but still getting the high temps. its been going on like this for 2-4 days. Also my fan was going at about 3840 RPM when i was in Rocket league (a game) and would sometimes go up to 4080 RPM. my cpu is an AMD A 10 Quad core

Not much more you can do, you need some extra cooling to help out. Something like this for instance: https://www.amazon.com/LC05-Cooling-Auto-Temp-Detection-Compatible/dp/B00XKU47Y2/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=mattheavy-20&ie=UTF8&qid=1461902889&sr=8-9&keywords=laptop+cooling+pads&linkCode=sl1&linkId=4e526171c4165149422a95fbae4a5366
This type is better than cooling pads/stands.

but how much would that help?

It's only option to ad more cooling. With this type of cooler probably about 10 - 20c less.

Try replacing the thermal paste this sounds like dried up thermal paste to me.

jaslion :

thing is im no tech guy and im just too scared to tinker with stuff like that.. and i dont know what thermal paste to get to be exact..

Laptops may use paste but also heat transfer pads or both, unless you are proficient in servicing them, don't do it, not easy for beginners, too many small and delicate parts inside and to do that you'd need to take it completely apart !!!
Give it some extra cooling and call it a day.
Even after 30 odd years I still cringe when I have to do that much servicing on laptops. To say nothing about probably needing special tools and a shop manual.

CountMike :

what i think im going to do is that im not going to take it apart. but buy the cooler that u suggested + a cooling pad.. but which one?

CountMike · Jul 13, 2017

The pads are largely ineffective because mostly blow at wrong places at the bottom of laptops. If you must, look at the bottom of your laptop and search for cooling pads that have fan(s) coinciding with openings/grills on the laptop.
