Syahrul

Hello friends, i have Nitro V15 (AMD R5 6600H + RTX 3050) and when i'm plyaing valorant for the first time the laptop was suddenly shutdown after playing 2nd match. For the first game i use balanced mode and there was fine but the temperature of CPU hit 80 degree so i turn on Performance mode and then for the 2nd match the laptop suddenly shutdown. Is it normal and never happend again if im not playing valorant again? i play other games to like minecraft, point blank, and stardew valley. For the Minecraft the temperature was around 70-75 degree and i play it for 1 hour and no having an issues.

Note: Yesterday when i was using the laptop for the daily task the electrical home was shutdown 3x time and the laptop is being plugged into the charger.

Valorant is a low-spec game that can achieve high FPS, which may cause your CPU to overheat. I recommend playing Valorant in balanced or power-saving mode, or capping your FPS to a lower value that suits your gameplay, such as 60 FPS (ideal for single-player games), 120 FPS, or 144 FPS. Keep in mind that higher FPS values will generate more heat in the CPU.

Since other games are working fine, it is not major issue. Steps like cleaning thermal paste, cleaning fans and air vents are not needed. Also this can happens due to weather.

As for you note, No need to worry about sudden power loss due to power off in your area.

You can play valorant if you want but cap your fps to main good temperature or use Balance mode or lower power mode.

Here are some tips are always give to new users-

1)Fps cap 

Capping fps to lower value like 60, 100, 120, 140, etc can greatly lower cpu temperature and keep cool

(Cap you fps through Nvidia software or use RTSS)

2)Prop the laptop up with books around the sides to reduce heat

Grab stack of 2-4 books that are equally thick. Slide the spine of a book 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) under the right side of the laptop. Do the same on the left side of the laptop.

3)You can follow this below guide completely to reduce Cpu load and increase game performance-

Here the result of playing Minecraft around 40 minute, the CPU stable on 71-82 degree sometime is stable on 80 and down to 74-77 and the GPU was 70-74 all the time. If i just buy a laptop stand will it help it? or i need a cooling pad?

These temperatures are normal for gaming laptop and consider very good. Both Laptop stand and cooling pad with stands inbuilt is good option. Cooling pad offers minor improvement over laptop stand.
