Unless you're talking about overheating to the point of shutting down, the CPU/GPU getting to 100+ degrees and throttling is quite common and expected in thin laptops - it's a design choice to prefer light weight and thin over decent cooling and/or underclocking/undervolting and to only throttle near the limit rather than at lower temperatures.
- anjc 6y agoThe XPS 15 throttles horribly at reasonable temperatures. Many people re-seat the heatsink on the CPU and GPU and it fixes this issue.
- cainxinth 6y agoI am very much talking about the unit shutting down from heat. If I plan on rendering video overnight or anything like that, I change the maximum CPU utilization to 97%. If I want to play a modern game with heavy requirements, I set it to 80% or even less.
