Apparently, intel accepted that laptops will just never have decent cooling, so they let the high power chips get right up to 100C and throttle based on how much cooling is available.
If your laptop CPU is at 100C and the fans are quiet, you're wasting a lot of performance potential.
- eptcyka 7y agoThe chips themselves will probably outlast their users or at least their own useful lives quite comfortably at 100°C. If sat on a desk, not in something mobile. Heat cycling the motherboards will definitely shorten their effective lifetime significantly. There's no reason not to have proper cooling. Having said that, modern Thinkpads are not great in this regard either.
