    Just woundering what people think about their CPU and GPU temperatures.

    Setup 6930G, T6400, 9600M GT, 4GB Ram. Temperatures for general internet use, although this does depend on the amount of graphics and flash content of the web page (Vista SP2 - Balanced Power)

    HWMonitor 1.15
    CPU 54 to 58 - (T6400)
    GPU 59 to 65 - (9600M GT)

    Nvidia System Tools 6.05 (November Release)
    CPU 58 to 62 - (T6400)
    GPU 59 to 65 - (9600M GT)

    Does the T6400 appear to be high? My friends P7350 reads around 30. Also Note the difference between System Tools and HWMonitor for CPU. For Windows 7 my GPU runs with a lower end on the range (Windows 7 - 9600M GT GPU = 54 to 65).

    Note Also - Running the 9600M GT GPU flat out (100% usage) using Nvidia CUDA to encode HD video the 9600M GT GPU hits a maximum of 67 (according to GPU-Z 0.38, HWMonitor and Nvidia System Tools).

    What do people think and what temps are you getting?

    To get an accurate estimate on the max temperature your laptop can reach.
    Download and run Intel Burn In and FurMark concurrently while running HWMonitor in the background.
    If your laptop still remains cool means it can never overheat.

    Thanks. Do you have any Safe/Official genuine download links for these tests. :)

    My trial cd of Future Mark doesn't work with SP2. Also is there a 3D Mark for laptops (again cd version wouldn't run - it wanted a 1600x1280 monitor or something, laptop only 1366x768).

    Sienna - Not at all. Intel CPUs aren't in dangeous territory until they start hitting the 90s. And the reason your friend's P7350 is in the 30s is largely because it's a medium-voltage chip, which sucks down 10 W less power than your T6400. If you want it to run cooler, go check out the undervolting guide here on NBR. Very neat stuff.

    Also, 3DMark06 should be able to run happily without the 1280x1024 monitor requirement. 3DMark Vantage is the one that gets its knickers in a twist.

    Temps look good in general. Certain thermal monitors are off by 5 degrees in the 69xxG series, mine included. Try others (RealTemp, CoreTemp, RMClock, GPU-Z) and go with the consensus. I know RMClock can have a manual offset, not sure if HWMonitor does.

    Use OCCT PSU Test if you want to stress both CPU and GPU at the same time with correct temp for the CPU (uses CPU-Z engine if i am right).

    I got the same configuration as you but with a Radeon 4650 1go and i am at about 55°c on both CPU cores in idle (CPU is undervolted so every multipliers have the same 0.9250v voltage, so no difference when in the minimum 6x multiplier). HDD at 40° and THRM at 48°.

    And in full burn with PSU test launched for 20minutes.... the cpu max temp is 69° and the HDD was even cooler (the HDD is not used during the test) from 39 to 35° :)

    Thanks for the information. It looks like the temperatures are about right then (for T6400 and 9600M GT). Thanks :)
