Please post your temps! This will help us to compare our temps and to help us know if we are having overheating issues or not (I think I have).

And don't forget to mention the laptop model, processor, hard drive and GPU that you have!

My config:

Laptop: HP DV4000
Processor: Pentium M 770 2.13GHz
Hard Drive: Hitachi Travelstar 7K100 100GB 7200rpm
GPU: ATi X700

THE CPU IS UNDERVOLTED

My temps:

Idle:
CPU: 60-62 C
HDD: 37-44 C

Office, Internet, Music:
CPU: 64 C
HDD: 39-44 C

Gaming:
CPU: 81+ C
HDD: 44 C

Shouldn't you post your GPU temps instead of the Harddrive temps...?

Yes...unfortunately NHC doesn't monitor my GPU temps .
And were are your temps?

i definitely think your cpu temps are a bit high. you should check for dust in the heat sink. as for hdd temps, those are fine.

just for possible comparison:

xps2: see sig for specs. this is basically after running Rome Total War for several hours, then letting sit idle for about 10 minutes
idle:
cpu: 40 +/- 2 C (idling at forced 2ghz, not sure with it at 800mhz)
gpu: ~57 C
hdd: 41 C

peak temps:
cpu: 67 C
gpu: 91 C
hdd: 50 C

700m:
cpu (idle/load): 50 C (at forced 1.6ghz, as idling at 600mhz keeps it around 60 all the time, strangely) / 61 C
hdd: it's about 40 C now

also, i think my temps might be a bit higher than they could possibly be, as i havent cleaned out any dust (if there is any) for the year i've had my systems.

I have a e1505 (T2300, X1300). It's a pretty cool laptop especially compared with yours Ericko although I have nothing done with the temperaturecontrol.

Idle:
CPU: ~45°C (without fan)
GPU: ~55°C
HDD: ~44°C

Max temperatures:
CPU: 65°C (above this temperature the fan starts)
GPU: 60-61°C
HDD: up to 50°C

Memory: max. 58°C
Chipset: max. 48°C

Idle - cpu, gpu, hdd respectively: 52-54°C, 55-56°C, 39-40°C
Max - cpu, gpu, hdd respectively: 82°C, 70°C, 45°C

Your temps are a bit high. My CPU stays around 50 C when idle, 60 C when gaming. When it's not undervolted, it goes up to 68 C when gaming. HD always holds steady around 40-50 C. Have you cleaned out your cooling vents lately with compressed gas?

Sager 9860, P4 3.4GHz:

Steady State Idle:
CPU -- 51 deg C
HDD -- 40 deg C

Steady State Gaming:
CPU -- 65 deg C
HDD -- 46 deg C

Your CPU temp is high, but the PM max temp is like 100 deg C, so still well within spec.

I know they are high, my computer turned itself off several times whenever I was gaming. That's why I undervolted my CPU, and it keeps turning itself off, but at least it takes longer to happen.

I haven't cleaned my lappy because I read somewhere on NBF that it was NOT a good idea to use compressed gas to clean a laptop. So, what do you guys think? Is it good or not?
I still have 2+ years of warranty, so I don't want to open my lappy. And I was going to send it to a repair center because I'm also having some problems with my CD burner. But since I don't live in the US (I bought my lappy in the US) I don't wanna go through all the hassle of sending it for repair.

Again...Is it safe to use compressed air to clean a laptop?

Thanks!

I couldn't believe this, but the thermal spec for Dothan is 100 degrees C meaning you could literally boil water with it and it should still run Super Pi ok (unreal).

http://www.intel.com/cd/channel/rese...top/182404.htm

However having said that, a reboot could be due to a few things, and might not actually be heat related. If you're noticing higher than usual temps, perhaps the cooler isn't squarely mated to the CPU. Back long ago I had an Alpha HS with those plastic feet, two of which had come off, and the copper contact was on an angle not touching the entire core. that gave me all kinds of wierd behavior, and also kept the temps below the thermal spec too.

also, were you the same dude from the other thread who had his MOBO replaced? Make sure your heatpipe fan is blowing the correct way (make sure it's oriented properly). those solutions are really optimized to have the air blowing one way and they are uselss if the direction of airflow is reversed

yuck. good luck

i can't get lm_sensors to work right on my uniwill, but i know my cpu temps. thinkpad numbers are according to MobileMeter

Uniwill 258KA0 (AMD64 3200+ 82w):
Internet & Music: 75*C
Gaming: 80*C
Idle: 73*C

Thinkpad Thinkpad T23 (Pentium 3 1133mhz):
Internet & Music: 43*C
Gaming: 47*C
Idle: 35*C

compaq presario 1700Kr

fujishu 40GB hard drive : average 65C
CPU : average 60
i think this is hot to use it without cooling pad in summer

use rivatuner to monitor your temps:

it is a little odd

I get 58C Max

So I don't know why you guys have such astronomical temps. That's wierd.

I've been running SETI on my Inspiron 6000 all day (Dothan 1.6ghz)



What are you using to determine your temps? Is it possible your reader/software is incorrect? Try an immediate reboot and see if the BIOS readout agrees with your windows readout


I don't think something with a max of 30 watts dissipation should be hittin that high. Mine's about where I would expect it, and my vcore is way higher than the new chips, which should make it run a bit hotter still. It's hardly even cool in here, at about 76F ambient (I have 4 dual processor servers throwin heat out 3 feet away)

acer TM8104,
idle/surfing 50C
gaming 83C
hdd 40-50C depending on how hard its being thrashed

edit: forgot to mention thats undervolted and runiing at 2.0GHz

Lenovo Thinkpad R50e

Fan at lowest setting. (BIOS controlled)
100% CPU Load; CPU @ 1.6GHz/1.020V: 51C
100% CPU Load; CPU @ 600MHz/0.700V: 43C
0% CPU Load; CPU @ 1.6GHz/1.020V: 43C
0% CPU Load; CPU @ 600MHz/0.700V: 42C

Hard Drive Load: 39C
Hard Drive Idle: 37C

The fan will only turn on when it reaches a certain temperature, usually less than 57C when at 1.6GHz and 47C when at 600MHz. When the fan is off, it'll idle when at 1.6GHz up to 57C and then the fan will turn on and at 600MHz it'll idle until 47C and then the fan turns on.

Chip temps drop within a few seconds after the load is taken off so you should monitor real time if you can.

that's definitely much more reasonable, though the idle temps seem a bit high still.
