Laptops should have a CPU temperature between 40 degrees and 60 degrees under light load usage, while the CPU temperature may reach 70 degrees to 80 degrees under high load usage. Higher temperatures than 80 degrees can cause CPU performance to drop and even trigger a system crash. Therefore, maintaining a CPU temperature within the normal range of 40 degrees to 80 degrees is critical to the stable operation of your laptop.

The CPU, short for Central Processing Unit, is the core component of a computer that reads instructions, decodes them, and executes them.
