About encoding, Hanbrake and my laptop

[Blurayhd]

Hi guys, so far I using my desktop PC for encoding MKVs with Handbrake


I need to use my laptop from now so I need to ask what do you think about encoding several hours with laptop?

Is a Dell i5 7°generation, Intel 7.200U @2.5 mhz, 8gb of ram

Time ago I disassemble the laptop for clean and change the original thermal paste for the Artic Silver 5

All I so wish to know is can I use my laptop for encoding serveral hours with Handbrake x264?

If I can, there´s some way that you recomend for see processor temp? or something?

Thank you in advance!!

Take a peek at Core_Temp v1.14 - 18th May, 2019 (~1.2MB, XP -> W10)

Install it.
Dont tick the "build your game with goodgame empire", seems to be some game that it will install,
I probably got the version I have from another link.

Start it up, ie click the link in your program files or whatever.
View temps.

looks like tj.max is max temp for your motherboard/cpu combo. [EDIT: CPU junction temp, transistor thing, so CPU only not motherboard]

Your machine should throttle back on its own if it gets too hot.

EDIT: make sure you have good air flow around your laptop, eg dont stand it on a wooly jumper
which could block air vents. [EDIT: Dont let you dog or cat sit on it either. (includes other unspecified furry critters, or the missus)]

I've used my laptop along with my old system for Ripbot's DE, and I've always wanted to know what the temps were. These monitoring and info programs really should be put into a sticky in the hardware sub forum, since they are so useful for everyone.
