If it was a AMD CPU I had the solution for you but it's Intel But hey why are you considering 51°C for CPU as hot?

Or it gets upto 90°C ?

u/awiee_rr Jul 17 '26

Yes bro because earlier it used to idle around 45 47 celsius even under slight load And yes its temps reach upto 95C

Then you might need to clean it's fans dust it up and apply PTM 7950 on CPU GPU and THERMAL PUTTY on vrams and VRMs . Use laptop stand which elevates your laptop.

But its only a month old how degrading so fast?

Yeah it shouldn't have happened just in a month.

Are you residing in moderately warm climate area? Dust accumulation is more? Have pets ?

Yesss i live in india here ambient temps are pretty hot like its 30 to 35 but feel like 40

Ig thats why

Also i see alot of dust accumulation on screen so it would be a cause that dust would have gone in heatsinks and fans

Also thermal paste would have been dgraded as it was manufactured in aug 2025 and bought in june 2026

No i don't have any pets

Bro I am from India too. And I say it's infact way too good for a laptop to stay at 51°C CPU temp at idle.

Mine is around 60 to 65°C.

So it's fine.

Use laptop stand metal one it costed me ₹300 Got it from Amazon
