4750 Heat problems? General heat question

Thread Starter 
Hi, i ordered a 4750 roughly a week ago and it's set to come in on monday. I've seen lots of posts from 4750 owners saying that their laptops go up to 70 degrees C while gaming. Idle temps range roughly around the 50s. Looking around, i can see that the 8790 while gaming reaches a max of 50 degrees and normally stays in the lower 40 range. I'm kind of worried about a +30 degree increase for my 4750. I want to keep the laptop for 3-4 years, and i don't know what kind of effect tons of heat will have. I know that its not a good thing, but can i leave my comp on (open screen) for a long time if it runs at a steady elevated 50 degrees? Will gaming at 70 degrees for approximately 3 hours burn the laptop to a crisp? It seems that the major advantages that the 8790 has over the 4750 are 128 megs more of video ram and a 30 degree less operating temperature. If i want to keep my laptop for a long time should i return my 4750 for a 8790, or am i just being completely paranoid?

I think you're being paranoid. There are even hotter lapotps out there. With powernow the 4750 should stay around 45 deg C when idle or under light loads, that's no biggie for a laptop. I also think gaming for hours at 65 deg C (70 is rare) should pose no real threat either. The only thing you should concern yourself with is the temperature felt on the keyboard and palmrests which appears to be negligible except when gaming, but even then people don't complain too much. Don't worry about your laptop dying because of heat, we have a 10 year old POS deskie that is always hot and it shows no signs of quiting yet. good luck with your lappy, you won't be disappointed

I was benchmarking my 4750 today... it will get hot mine got as high as 75c. During heavy benching. I used PCMark04...scored 3391. ran 3DMark03 with same score??? Not sue to benchmarh softwares, but I use them to put my PCs to a lot of stress test. Mobile Meter reads 43c idle and low use. Again as high as 75c on heavy use (gameing). The CPU Fan starts reving up at 55c where it becomes noticeable and realy revs at about 65c. this is where I wish I had a good Swifttech heatsink. Other wise with PowerNow! CPU goes from 800MHZ (Idle)to full throttle 1.83GHZ (Heavy Use). I'm Still happy and satified with my 4750

4750 | AMD 64 3000+ | 512MB | 60GB HDD 5400 | Redeon Mobility 9700 128MB | 4X DVD-RW/CDRW | TV Tuner | CMOS Camera | Wireless LAN
