Is it safe to run MiniMax on RTX 4060? Overheating issues
ZealousidealCream610 · reddit · 2026-08-19
A user reports severe overheating when running the MiniMax H3 model on an RTX 4060 laptop (16GB RAM):
- Worked fine yesterday, but today the laptop shut down during execution
- After restart, running the model again caused CPU/GPU temps to hit 90°C and triggered another shutdown
- Tried elevating the laptop with a duster for airflow, but it wasn't effective
The user is asking if a cooling pad would fix the issue.
