My laptop is a couple of weeks old (july iwan) and when i watch netflix or use after effects it gets very hot. He has 8ram (if that's what it's called) is that normal?

Pa

How hot (i.e. Celsius)

an

How do i know that? You can touch it but it's hot but if you leave your hand on it you get used to it (it makes sense) and it's just hot between the keyboard and the screen

Pa

Maybe download msi Afterburner and see how hot the graphics card is

an

Free?

Pa

Yep

Da

That is normal. After all, it has to dissipate the waste heat.

I installed a virus scanner and don't know why it doesn't work now. I guess that's normal because many people do the same. The laptop cost 550

Pa

OK as long as the laptop doesn't get very hot (65 + ° C) then everything is fine

Okay thanks! I'm 15 and I don't know my way around and was scared! He's not going down because of that or anything so I think that netflix just puts a lot of strain on him

Download MSI afterburner and check the temperatures

an

Do not think that he is so hot I think he would then switch off or something (sorry, don't know me from haha) which however never happened

an

Have a virus scanner that blocks that i can download it don't know how to turn it off

fe

Which virus scanner do you have

an

Nvm downloaded it

Pa

If it overheats it switches itself off, but I would also recommend that you take a break every 2 hours (30 minutes) so that the laptop can cool down.

Pe

Of course he'll be warm. Download Hwmonitor down (https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html)

an

He says 69 ° if I read it correctly

Da

It depends on the model, if the CPU is weak then Netflix can also put a heavy load on the CPU. Probably Intel iGPU cheese.

Pa

Yeah then, as I said, let it cool down every 2-3 hours for about 30 minutes (switch it off completely): D

an

Okay super many many many thanks!

I hope the laptop is on a smooth surface and not on the bedspread, tablecloth or something?
