Temps...

So yea, been about 3 months and these temps are really pissing me off.

This is my temps with a notebook cooler. I'm looking through posts and people say "Yea, after I got a notebook cooler, my temps never went above 75 playing wow." Well I've been playing for only 1 hour, and it goes up to 80 after looking in certain areas of the map, it even gets this high in stormwind. I've also had some laggy issues where the game would be really slow and would be like lagspikes, as if my mouse had teleporting powers. Now how the hell do you get this high in degrees for having a notebook cooler? I had 75C when I was playing wow without the notebook cooler. I cant remember what cooler I have its antec and its a supports 17" notebooks. So yea... Tell me what I am doing wrong goes I really doubt that placement is going wrong here.

Like how is this possible? I can't even get this with a notebook cooler...

 

maybe try without the notebook cooler to see how high you can reach. then record what you where doing...maybe you will see a patern!

 

You'd prolly be better off making a custom cooler.

You know they aren't a magic bullet, yeah?

It's not the notebook/cooler size that determines effectiveness, it's the fan placement. If you're interested, there's a great guide round here somewhere I could probably dig up.

Also, those temps are nothing to worry about.

 

Those temps are ok, most people including me get around 85c while playing games.

 

those temps are fine

 

Which notebook cooler do you have?

My GPUs are around 65-70 while playing WoW and CPU around 55-60.

I'm using the CRYO cooler.

 

Exact same cooler.

 

I don't think you have a problem at all. These temperatures seem completely fine to me.

 

Dont forget to take "Room Temperature" into consideration...this makes a big difference when comparing to other peoples temps...

 

Those temps are okay if you want your laptop to burn out within a year

Your temperatures should never be hitting over 80C for anything. I dont care what the thermal spec is. The electronics do degrade at high temperatures, and all it takes is the heat to make one transistor loose and your system is dead.
A cooler running laptop will always last longer than one which gets hot.
I recommend you to return your cooler, because it is junk. All aftermarket coolers are very low quality and do not do a good job. Get a high performance fan, not some quiet fan, but something which moves alot of air at a high pressure.
Check out my laptop cooler, I think you will understand what I am talking about,
The fans are very quiet at the speed they run, you can barely hear them in the video

My friends XPS1710 used to push temperatures over 200F, but after I built him a similar laptop cooler, with only one fan the temperatures never broke 145F under full load on his 7950GTX

by fine we mean normal ....n i posted in your cooler section about mine K i dun like them ether

 

That is a some massive work of machine you got working there, haha. I can't afford such a thing.

Side note: I turned of microsoft update (To where it is not to notify/download/install) I am now getting in the temps of 64 & 62 on cpu and on graphics cards I am getting up to 71 & 68. So this cooler is finally doing its thing, I just don't understand why this amazing machine is having such a hard time with microsoft updates... (These are the results I been wanting...)

And to the person who said I need to base off room temperature, for 3 months I've been looking at the temperatures through CPUID, there has been days where it would be doing fantastic, and days when it would be doing bad, but on cold night in my house, it got to 83C on the graphics card, trust me, there was something wrong there.

 

what ? please explain why MS update makes ur temps go up 15 c lol

 

In my review (yes I know I didn't finish it and its because this machine is f'n amazing) I encountered the same problem with ms updates... I was wondering why my computer was lagging, it was going to 90C doing benchmark tests. I turned off MS updates and It would only go to 75-80. I have no clue why bill sucks.

 

hey guys what(in your opinion) is the best laptop cooler?.........next to k-tron's!

 

It's just a coincidence.

 

Doesnt that defeat the purpose of buying a notebook Tron ?

 

well when you take it out, u usually dont game on battery so it doesnt get hot ...so really the laptop is a desktop at home and you game so it gets hot thus the "bench cooler "

 

Nah, since the time i got my first notebook i rarely player games in one place
At the moment its like 10% in the "gaming room", 40% in the living room, 15% at friends and 35% in bed lol

 

It doesnt defeat the purpose.
Usually you are not gaming when on batteries anyways
It is very handy, I know my friend Alex is a WOW addict, and he always plays on his desk with his Z board and such. His system never slows down or overheats anymore with the fan deck.
You do not need such a powerful cooler as I. Delta and Comair Rotron make very reliable cheap fans, which can still push a lot of air volume. One of those would be enough for your laptop.
