Notebooks CPUs temperatures

Hello. I have a Toshiba 5205 505 and my CPU temperature is around 49 celsius when I boot it.

If I have some processes running, it gets 53, 54. And if I have it running many applications, and maybe a game, it gets 65 degrees! And the motherboard temperature gets close to these temperatures.

I also can feel it getting hot in my leap.

Is this normal? I also have a Northwood desktop pc and the temperature barely reachs 60 degrees when I am playing games. the motherboard is much more colder than this.

Now I'm not entirely sure about this when I say it , but your desktop motherboards are going to generally run alot cooler then a laptop . I am not sure exactly why , but I think it may be better cooling solutions and more space to work with to adapt for cooling?

I have the Toshiba 5205-S705 and it definitely runs very warm underneath , although I don't think it gets as hot as you are describing. I think this is one of the negatives associated with buying a "desktop replacement" laptop because they use modified desktop processors causing so much heat that you describe.

I've noticed with my Toshiba if I use it on my lap it obstructs the fans on the bottom quite a bit so I went and purchased the laptop desk that has built in grooves that do a great job with keeping the laptop cool.



As for your question, I would have to say it is pretty normal what you are describing.


Someone else care to comment?

The desktop system also has a larger heatsink and fan in addition to more airspace to ventilate and cool the CPU.

Laptops do not have any of those cooling luxuries, hence they get awfully hot - especially the newer, faster CPU/GPU machines.

Historically, the industry dealt with this by limiting the processors used in laptops (typically much slower than cutting-edge desktop CPU/GPU's); however, todays laptops are more geared towards desktop replacement and have faster/hotter chips.
