Having heat issues with CPU upgrade to e8235 (t9600?)

I recently upgraded my cpu on my asus g50vt to a e8235 (was advertised as t9600 but both seem similar so did not complain to much). It is running hot. 86c for games (apb), 40-45c idle, 60-70c rendering videos.

My p8400 ran at about 35 idle and up to 50-60(apb ) for gaming.

Most posts I have read with the t9600 have it running at 30-35 idle and 50-60 under gaming loads.

I have cleaned out the dust, and reapplied the thermal paste but it still seems to run hot.

Any suggestion?
I am using a pretty generic paste evercool, should i try something better?
Should i adjust the fan or does the computer do that automatically?

Sorry for the stupid questions i am pretty new to this.

 

Make sure the heatsink is making good contact with the CPU.
And use a good paste not some generic stuff.

 

It is normal. I would be amazed if you have written something else.

P series: 25W TDP
T series: 35W TDP
E8235 : 45W TDP

Try IC Diamond thermal paste with a nice copper heatsink (if possible). That will give you the best combination of paste+heatsink pair in terms of cooling performance. You may also try laptop coolers that blows air underneath the machine.

cool thanks
Will it still be safe to use with the motherboard or would it fry it?
Should i also look into undervolting it?

 

It is really hard to say something for the motherboard. Depends on the leeway its power circuitry has. Personally I would not be very comfortable though.

By all means. It will not only help the heat issue but also decrease the load on the power circuitry which will eventually decrease the chance of frying the motherboard.

Good luck.

What notebook do you have? 35w TDP to 44w TDP could concern me. But your temps in and of themselves are not causing great alarm. Yes cooler is always better.

 

I have an asus g50 vt best buy model.

edit: I emailed the guy and he said he measured it at 34 wats on a thinkpad t4000

 

Hi,
and sorry for my bad english.
I'm a german boy and i've bought the E8235 (T9600) over ebay from a british dealer for only 140Euro (~$180).
It is a very very good processor, but if you have a lot to calculate (gaming, photoshop...) then the E8235 will be very hot (up to 90°C)...
I've change the thermal paste, but it isn't better.
Under idle 45-55°C.
But i you open a programm (a big programm), the tempatures climps very fast up to a high temperatur.

 

Try undervolting with throttlestop.

That CPU is probably running with way more voltage than it needs.

 

think we got it from the same guy. laptop monkey or something.

I have not had to many issues yet. have run dragonage, Arma 2, and FF on it without any issues. Heat has been problem in some. Do alot of video rendering on it and it seems fine.
