Alienware M14X Temperatures
Hi, :) what would be the normal and safe working temperatures on my M14x? I wouldn't want to damage my working buddy for personal gains, if you know what I mean. It would be of great help if you guys can answer this. :)
I turned off turbo boost because I'm overwhelmed with the temp readings I got. So here's the temps:
Turbo Boost on:
CPU: 85-93degrees
GPU: 65--75degrees
Turbo Boost off:
CPU: 70-80degrees
GPU: 60-75degrees
Thank you guys. :)
By the way, I get these temps on heavy load, like video rendering and also while gaming.

Those are about average for the m14x. If you don't notice a difference in performance leave turbo boost off. The cpu will throttle before it gets too hot.

Automatically slow down to decrease heat, to prevent damage. I think on these cpus it typically happens between 95-99 degrees.
