Same thing happened to me with my Surface Book. I found it the next day with fans at max and burning hot. Still survived. Why aren't laptops shutting down when the CPU gets unbearably hot?
- hef19898 5y agoGood question, they do turn off the discrete GPU when it gets too hot.
- creshal 5y ago"Unbearably hot" for meatbags and "unbearably hot" for CPUs are different things; meatbags start having troubles at 50°C, while internal components are fine until 90-120°C. Traditional hard disks are the biggest exception, but I'm fairly certain that's not a worry for a Surface.
