Hello, I am using an Erazer Deputy P60i laptop equipped with the Intel Core i5-13420H processor. I am writing to report a serious inconsistency regarding the thermal management and fan curve behavior of this device, specifically during older, single-core heavy applications. Here are the details of the issue: 1. The Issue with Single-Core Loads (e.g., CS 1.6): When running older engines like Counter-Strike 1.6 (which relies heavily on a single CPU core), the CPU temperature quickly spikes to 92°C. The Problem: Despite this high temperature, the fans do not spin up or they remain at a very low/silent RPM. Result: The system fails to detect this "hotspot" temperature because the overall package power draw is low (since the GPU is idle). This causes significant heat soak, making the keyboard and chassis uncomfortably hot to touch, risking battery health. 2. The Issue with Multi-Core Loads (e.g., CS 2): When running modern titles like CS 2, the fans engage immediately. However: Performance Mode: The CPU instantly hits 100°C and thermal throttles, even with fans at max speed. Entertainment Mode: Temps stabilize around 92°C, which seems to be the sweet spot for this cooling solution. My Observation: It seems the BIOS/EC (Embedded Controller) fan curve is too passive. It appears to look at "Total System Power" rather than "Core Temperature." It ignores the fact that a single core running at 92°C requires active cooling, even if the GPU is cold. Request: Is there an upcoming BIOS or EC update to fix this lazy fan behavior? The fans should ramp up when the CPU hits 80-90°C regardless of the total power draw to prevent the chassis from overheating. System Specs: Model: Erazer Deputy P60i CPU: Intel Core i5-13420H Control Center Version: [Latest available] I would appreciate any support or guidance on this matter. Best regards. ... Meer weergeven
