Fellow pervs,
So weβre getting scorched down here in southern Europeβlike, heat-wave level π₯π₯π₯. And while I can mostly survive with fans and cold drinks, my poor laptop was practically turning into a waffle iron. π§π»
I use it for game development (shout-out to She Means Business π), and while it runs greatβno lag or crashesβit was just too hot to touch, especially around the keyboard and palm rest. Like, actual burn-risk level hot.
So hereβs what I did to fix it! πͺ
First, I trimmed everything I didnβt need running in the background:
π§Ή Go to:
Settings > Privacy > Background Apps
and switch off anything that doesn't need to be running constantly (Spotify, OneDrive, Cortana, etc.).
This helped a bit by lowering CPU usage and stopping unnecessary processes from working behind the scenes.
This part actually saved my skin (literally). π
RyzenAdj is a small tool that lets you directly limit your AMD Ryzen CPUβs power drawβmeaning you can tell it βhey, stop being such a power-hungry inferno, chill out.β
π§ How I Used It:
Downloaded RyzenAdj from here:
π https://github.com/FlyGoat/RyzenAdj/releases
(look for ryzenadj-win64.zip)
Extracted it to a folder like C:\ryzenadj
Opened Command Prompt as Administrator
(Right click Start > Command Prompt (Admin))
Typed this:
cd C:\ryzenadj ryzenadj.exe --stapm-limit=10000 --fast-limit=10000 --slow-limit=10000
And just like that, my CPU went from cooking breakfast to running nice and coolβwithout slowing down any of my work. π¨π
I even made a .bat file so I can apply it with a double-click anytime.
Hereβs your custom .bat file code:
@echo off cd /d C:\ryzenadj ryzenadj.exe --stapm-limit=10000 --fast-limit=10000 --slow-limit=10000 echo π¨ Cooling activated, baby! Youβre too hot to handle π pause
Open Notepad
Paste the above text
Save it as:
πΎ CoolMeDown.bat
(Set Save As Type to βAll Filesβ)
Double-click it anytime you wanna go from π₯ to π
If you want your laptop to run cooler every time you turn it on, just schedule that .bat file to run at startup.
If youβre dealing with insane laptop temps this summerβespecially on AMD systemsβthis combo works wonders.
Stay cool out there, fellow pervs!
