Normal Temps?.Idle. R2.i7.OverClocked.

Hi. all.

Are these temperatures normal?

For my own peace of mind.

Thanks..

 

Those temps are very good. I run closer to 90 degrees under heavy load on my CPU with my R2.

 

No, those are high. Idle should be low to mid 40s depending on your ambient room temps.

Use RealTemp or ThrottleStop as they both use the correct TJMax values for your processor. Other temperature monitoring applications might not and that can lead to a significant difference in reported temperatures. Not the ~20C difference you're seeing though.

EDIT: Just noticed that the gadget displays TJMax and 105 IS correct. Your temps are way too high for idle. Had it been idle for at least 5 minutes before you did that screen cap? If so then you have a problem.

 

Ye. I am using Throttle stop.

I've already had the motherboard replaced due to excessive temps with the GPU.

It was idling for 1 hour before I took the screen cap.

 

Are you sitting right next to an active volcano?

Time to call support again. This time have the technician test temperatures after he's done replacing/fixing whatever. When you call support again, discuss a plan B in case whatever the technician does has no impact.

 

About the same as my temps, but I live in Indonesia if that makes a difference (humidity?). Also, just replaced my thermal paste.

 

not only that, if the GPU is active, then the CPU temps will get higher, since they share a heatpipe (with the fins in the middle ).

 

I think those are too high for idle maybe the place where you live?
you're on a soft surface, bad ventilation

what are your temps during heavy load?

 

Not sure why GPU was not showing but it was at 44c according to GPU-Z.

 

If the GPU is on, and running at 44c, it's gonna be the reason for your higher idle temps.

 

Maybe a bit too high. The R1 doesn't even get that on 100% peak load. YAY FOR OLD ANIMATED TRANSFORMERS WALLPAPER!

 

The reason being is that your main Nvidia GPU isn't activated. Run a program that uses the GPU, alt tab and re run the test. Then close down the program and it'le remember detecting the GPU and keep you up-to-date with the temps untill you close the program.

 

I've uploaded a photo showing the temps under load from Prime95 and another after being idle for 30mins.
The temp of the GPU seems to be the problem, even after idlle'ing it's at 60.c.

 

Time to call support.

 

would concur with slickie88.
btw kfruit, are you sure that your idling temp match melischa's? I live in Indonesia too, and my idle temp is mid 40s, without cooling fan, ambient room temp around 30, humidity around 70%..just curious, some parts here are definitely hotter than others.

 

I just redid my paste again since the last one was bad and also cleaned out my fan, now I'm getting high 40s to low 50s at 3 am in the morning with a cooling pad and the ceiling fan on (not sure what ambient temps are or if the pad helps at all). Funny enough just as I read your post I checked the temps and these are the lowest I have ever seen them. Before, they were just as bad as him and the max temps were 15c more than they are now for the CPU (71c max now). It's amazing that I got so much change from those two simple things.

 

Well, I've only had the r2 for about 3 months, albeit with heavy daily use since day one. How do u clean your fans? Did you dismantle the whole notebook or just vacuum them? I think it's bout time to clean mine. Planning to reapp thermal paste soon if I dont get cooling pad (I just elevate my r2 so the vents are unblocked). Btw, any idea where I can get good thermal paste? (reading ur previous temp, I bet u live in JKT or SBY, I overheated my g53 there)..

 

Reapplied Thermal Paste used " Noctua NT-H1 Thermal Paste "

Room Temp in Apartment is 70F (21C)

Average about 46C idle



Load when playing Games about (65C to 70C GPU) (69C to 72C on CPU)


Hope this Helps in determining your temps

 

Vacuum hose works surprisingly well if you seal things up with a rag. Be sure to insert a paperclip to keep the blades from moving though. Otherwise the suction can over-stress/heat the bearings. Canned air is generally only helpful if you do a very deep teardown - as you would if you're redoing your TIM. At that point an alcohol laced Q-tip on the blades is a good idea too.

 

ah, thank you Slickie88, I just did what you describe with vacum hose and that work wonders to clean all the dust clinging there Pardon me being newbie, what do you mean with redoing TIM and alcohol-laced Q-tip?

 

Redoing the thermal paste on the CPU and GPU. The thermal wax blob that Dell uses on these is just adequate in most cases and not cutting it in others. Replacing it with a good paste can generally drop temps by at least a few degrees.

In order to do that you need need to do a fairly deep teardown at which point you will have access to and can properly clean the fan blades with a cotton swab and a bit of alcohol.

 

Ah, now I get it.. thanks slickie88! +1 rep

 

I'm wondering how's melischa has been faring with temp... did you call support or just solved the problem yourself?

 

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I'm dealing with the exact same issue and thought it better than making a duplicate thread.

Temps seem to be idling at 60-62 C. When I'm playing BFBC2, CPU temp was hitting low 90's with GPU (IIRC) in the high 70's/low 80's. I'm using Throttlestop (TPL 30/60), EVGA (450/1080/790), and GameBooster. I've had the computer since May, bought from the Dell Outlet.

Thanks

 

Just remember that no everyone lives in the same place, I get around 40-45°C idle temps in winter, but 50-60°C in summer....

 

Oh, does outside temp alter the internal temps a lot? I'm in Southern California, and it's definitely summer right now, so maybe that's why. Thanks!

 

E.mailed dell, told em I wasn't happy with the temps. Sent em loads of photos of the computer idleing and also under load playing Hd movies and kept mytherin em untill they agreed to replace the motherboard.
Now i'm in France where the temperature is high 20.s and I am writin this with temps at 44-50.
I think the GPU and heatsink were at fault in my case.
My advice, if your not happy, email em constantly untill they sort it, worked in my case.
