I just want to know how other's PM 755 are going up too. Mine goes up to 70C when gaming. Is this too much? or seems right? what do you guys think?

pretty cool here. worked almost 12 hours yesterday on my 8006, and it was still cool. the fan kicked in for the last hour of playing Wc3 TFT. HDD was warm, but very far from hot, although it is on 7200 rpm.

Mine hits around 70C sometimes too, and that can be too high if it stays up there for a long time. I was playing a game that used 100% CPU for about 15 hours, and it fried one of my SODIMMs. Had to exchange it. The data sheet for the memory said 70C is the max operating temperature, and it obviously can't sustain that high a temp forever.

That isn't that high of a tep for heavy gaming. I guess your best bet would be a laptop cooling pad like the Vantec LapCool 2 at newegg.

i'm using the 735 and max performance goes up to 70c too. but on average for normal useage is between 50-55c. is that normal? I hear about go down to the 40's on average.

My 755 idles at around 48-54C. Fan seems to turn off around 48C and starts up at 55C.
Now when I game, sometimes this baby goes up to 75C and is usually around 70C while gaming. Is 75C bad? Won't I fry something if I keep gaming like that?
It usually happens when playing Doom3 and Far Cry, Medium settings on D3 and Ultra High settings on FC.

Mine only fried after literally playing all day, 15 hours straight. It takes a lot of effort to overcook one of these things.

What is everyone using to measure cpu temps? I've got a 755 in my 3790 and Mobmeter won't measure any temp except for that of my hard drive. Is this just an issue with Sagers, or is there another application I should be using?

MobileMeter works fine in my Asus. Asus also has their AsusProbe utility which reports CPU temp and fan speed, but doesn't report HD temp. Dunno what works for Sagers...

Yeah I"m using MobileMeter and it's working fine, in fact I actually set it to one of my programmable buttons. So I just turn it on with the press of a button.

70°C is ok, cause the max temprature the P-M can handle is 100°C (maybe he can handle more but thes value was specified by intel )

yes hornet, the CPU can handle 100C but the memory can only handle 70C...

yes hornet, the CPU can handle 100C but the memory can only handle 70C... If your system has one of the memory slots really close to the CPU, then 75C is a problem. That's why the SODIMM next to my CPU died in my M6Ne.

That doesn't sound right! MobileMeter averages 45C under full load with 100% cpu usage after running like that for 48 hours.

I've seen my CPU go up to 75C running the Hot CPU Tester program, and it definitely gets up to 70C on a regular basis when I'm running a CPU intensive job.

Me too. My LV 2800+ only gets in the mid 50's after a few hours of heavy use. 57 is the highest I've ever seen it. My first 3200 was defective and got into the 60's, but the new unit has been very cool.

I'm not at all surprised since Intel have experienced serious heat/leakage issues with their 90nm processors from the very beginning, e.g. Prescott/Nocona.

Well, it'd be nice to see a few more Asus M6 owners respond here, to see if it's just my unit or if it's across the entire model line...
