Cooling fans for laptop to sit on would help! Get you more performance likely too.
Those temps look good. At or around room temp is to be expected for idle on a good cooler.

Depends on the component, but yeah. Laptop components tend to have very very low power consumption at idle, desktops not as much.
Like my laptop idles at about 5°C over ambient, because at idle it’s only using about a watt, but my desktop idles at about 10-15°C over ambient because its power consumption at idle is closer to 35-45 watts. Both are 5000 series Ryzen processors, the laptop is a 5700u while the desktop is an overclocked 5900x. (Yes, I’m aware the 5900x is power hungry at low loads, I needed the multi threaded performance)
@Rafe
For desktops it is the same situation. I said good cooler. My cpu is on a very good cooler and it sits exactly room temp on idle. You get a good enough cooler, literally anything will stay room temp. For a laptop especially, it’s a very good sign. Wither that or your fan curve is overkill.
@Tobin
There will always be a temperature delta. That’s how convective cooling works, it relies on the difference in temperature between the surface of the heatsink and the ambient air.
Period. That’s physics, and physics doesn’t give a shit how much you paid for your cooler.
@Tobin
And I have a good cooler. At full load, on a chip with a 105W TDP, my cooler keeps my CPU between 60 and 65 degrees.

That’s good. Quite nice temps for what is presumably a ryzen 7. However that is hardly idle.
@Tobin
It’s a Ryzen 9. It’s a 5900x,
Oh yeah, sorry. I’m used to 105 Watts for a ryzen 7 x3d chip. I would like to mention you said overclocked 5900x? Those can pull 200 odd Watts.
I still fail to understand, why are you downvoting me?
@Tobin
The only one I downvoted was the most recent one, but I just removed it. The TDP is still 105W for the 5900x. It didn’t change much when overclocked.
Those temps look good, mine idles at around 40-50 Celsius
These are idle temps I presume, yes. These are normal imho
All is normal, nothing to worry about.
The temps are totally normal
No it will not catch fire in any circumstances (there’s a protection that shut off the laptop before critical temperatures)
The noise is totally normal (sound of a jet engine), even desktop ones make noise when under load
Even the smell is fine if it is very light.
Don’t worry, it’s all normal
Gaming laptops depending on the CPU can get as high as 115C so the temps are fine but I’m a little worried about the smell.
Laptop components are designed to hit their max operating temps for an indefinite amount of time compared to desktops. The parts will throttle down anyway to keep their thermals in check. You will see a drop in performance before you ever even think of fire from your computer. also max operating temps for CPU is 100C with a target of 97C set by intel and for GPU is 86C with a target of 82C. So you have a ton of headroom in case something does go wrong.
Nah, it’s too cold
No it’s not normal it’s too cool lol. There no point in checking temps when it is idle, see how much it heats up in game.
Ideal would be below 85 for cpu and below 80 for gpu when gaming.

Yeah my laptops is around 80 degrees Celsius, 85 if ran for a while (CPU). The GPU is around 73 Celsius and the numbers are pretty consistent after 2 - 3 hours.
Thanks for the info
