PC Processors

Hey, so recently I bought an ASUS TUF A15 laptop with an AMD Ryzen 5 4600H CPU. I've noticed that during gaming, my CPU temperatures are quite high, typically in the range of 85-90 degrees Celsius, while the GPU temperatures tend to stay much lower at around 70 degrees. Additionally, I'm not sure if it's normal, but even at idle, I'm seeing relatively high clock speeds, around 3.5 GHz and higher. Is this normal? I previously used an Intel CPU and didn't experience these kinds of issues. Any tips would be appreciated.

The Ryzen 5 4600H has a base frequency of 3GHz with a boost clock of up to 4GHz. It is normal for the speed to fluctuate within those two points. The tjMax of this chip is 105°C so die temperatures of 85-90°C using the integrated Vega 6 graphics while gaming, particularly on low resolution or CPU intensive games, is within normal specification.

I have been using tuf15 with ryzen 5 4600h for about 4.5 year: in some games it heats to 94-95 degrees (yes, i've cleaned up the laptop and reload thermointerface in time). But i havent notice trotling or any expluatating issues, all works fine.

You have to be alarmed when if it will reach  100 deg, then that the problem (or reason to decrease tdp/freq or temperature directly with 3rd party program)

High CPU temperatures around 85-90°C during gaming are fairly common for the Ryzen 5 4600H, as it's a high-performance chip designed for laptops. The temperature is a bit on the higher side, but it's still within the safe operating range. As for the clock speeds, Ryzen CPUs tend to have dynamic scaling, meaning they'll run at higher speeds when needed, even at idle, depending on workload and power settings. You can try adjusting your power plan to "Balanced" or use a program like AMD Ryzen Master to tweak performance settings. Additionally, ensure that your laptop's cooling system is clean and working optimally to help manage those temps better.

Listen people! This took me several days to figure out:

Seems like the turbo boost causes this bad overheating, i had it too, while running RPCS3 (very CPU-demanding) - got up to 100°C and stayed in mid-90s for long periods of time. As i didn´t want to let my laptop be killed before its time, i tried different things:
1) When turning boost completely off, the perforance decreased too much (But temps were extremely low)
2) I then tried to limit the turbo clock boost, which didn´t work as it was ignored by the system.

3) i ran my fans constantly at super turbo boost of 5200 rpm via a program - temps still up to about 100°C

4) and the solution: try ryzen controller. Set it to a max temp you desire and you´re good to go. Setting max temp e.g. to 85°C solved the problem for me completely. While sacrificing maybe 3fps in RPCS3. Laptop stays silent and CPU´s happy. I run the max temp at 80°C now and it still works great. With the benefit, that now the turbo clock speed will dynamically adapt to the temperature. And still, it will reach the max boost clock often.

That was a real game changer for me, hope it will be too for you guys.

cheers!
