Acer Nitro 5, Nitro AN515-45 Ryzen 7, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM, Windows 10 Home
I've been using this laptop for a month now. My CPU temperature sometimes gets high without performing any heavy-duty tasks. It goes high as 80°C. I am normally using Google Chrome with 3 to 6 tabs and Figma. During this usage, the CPU temperature is anywhere from 40 to 80°C. I'd say the average temp is around 65°C, CPU usage is 10% and Memory is 55%. Is this normal or is there some problem with my laptop? 4/5

Hi,
It's quite normal for the temperature to spike to high level, 80°C is not too bad and nothing to worry about, if and when it goes beyond 90-95°C you can think of ways to reduce it, your CPU withstand up to 100-105°C, so for the time being everything is fine.

Hi @DevanshuB,

Over time dust can build up in the computer's air vents causing air and heat to not pass through them effectively. Using compressed air to clear the vents of dust can help resolve an overheating issue. Be sure to use compressed air according to the instructions on the can.
