plug your AC power on,don't use batteries

Yeah, it's a laptop, but it's from 2019. I've always got it plugged on while playing, and always with High Performance on the energy settings.

i think it's "heating" is causing CPU to break-down.
kindly post your temperatures via coretemp..

I recorded 45 second clips of Core Temp running; this one without enabling the fans' max speed, and this one with them at full speed. There's a small 10% speed increase with the fans at full speed, yet I wasn't really counting on having them like this the whole time, since they consume more power this way...

I'll let my laptop cool completely during the night and report back tomorrow morning then. Is this a common issue with laptop users when running PCSX2?

yes thats the common one

your core temp reads abnormal in "red" and in Excl

symbol
very dangerous status.

Well, I'm getting 80% speed with temperatures below 75ºC, so it seems to me that there's more to this problem than CPU temperature.

still EE around 100% ?

Okay, so I think I did it. I have no idea how it's working, but it is! With preset 3, EE Cyclerate = -1, and Turbo Adjust = 100% and Enabled (this part leaves me puzzled), I get smooth playing (at least when there's lots of background items like in the example I gave in the beginning). EE still at 60-80%, CPU and GPU at ~25%. I'll keep playing and hopefully combat scenes are as smooth as this. If anyone knows how Turbo Adjust at 100% is any different of normal playing, let me know.

preset 3 is tagged as MTVU is enabled so be sure "avoid" any running multi-tasking app that you haved.
