I’ve got a relatively new laptop. I keep it on max fans when I game. I close all apps other than discord and i keep it on a flat surface. I’ve tried max fans as a way to reduce heat. I want to try undervolting but I’m worried it will ruin my warranty.

Specs below:

intel i7 14th gen

Nvidia rtx 4060

32gb ddr5 ram

1tb ssd

I’m really worried that running at such high temps will ruin the longevity of my hardware. Keeping my fans at max all the time when I game feels like it would hurt my system.

    Welcome @Yas33n_,

    Try to use a good quality cooling pad (IETS, llano) to help cool your laptop.

    Check that your Nitro AN16-73 is using the latest UEFI firmware version (1.34) available:

    Overheating can be caused by poor ventilation, dust buildup, or failing cooling fans. Prevention: Ensure that your computer is well-ventilated, regularly clean the dust from your components, and check that all cooling fans are functioning correctly. To help reduce the temperature, you can place the Laptop on a hard, flat surface, clean the air vents and fans, adjust power settings, use a cooling pad, or turn off the Laptop when not in use. If necessary, monitoring the temperature and consulting a professional is also recommended.

    Get a powerful 5-fan cooling pad the size of your laptop and reduce the Max. Processor Power state to 95% when on power. Also use Balanced Power Plan instead of Maximum Performance Power Plan. Up to 95°C. under heavy load no issues, the CPU can sustain 100°C.Disable NVIDIA/AMD Dedicated graphics card for a while and test your temps.

    Also boot in safe mode and open task manager with GPU ENABLED and see if you can check the temperature. If its hot, then graphics is the issue. Undervolting means to decrease power draw for better cooling and higher clocks of the cpu and can be done using Throttle stop.
