    I was wondering what folks were seeing on V6 CPU temps. I've had one running at 100% for awhile in a room with an ambient temp of ~80f/27c.

    Mobile Meter and ASUS Probe report an average of 62c/144f. Speedfan reports 62c/144f remote and 58c/136f local.

    I've undervolted to 1.084v.

    In terms of other asus notebooks and from what I have read on PM cpu's those temps are about right for a full load on the cpu. I would start to get concerned if temps start getting over 80 on a regular basis. Also on other asus models a change in the bios had a large impact on cpu temp readouts. So this could mean that a)the bios change droped/increase real temp, or b)that bios was able to alter the way the sensor/software read temps. Probably abit of both.
    As long as your machine is working fine I wouldn't be to concerned

    I believe Intel lists the max temperature of most Pentium M's at 100 C so we have a ways to go.

    I ran SiSoft Sandra Burn-in test today and mine topped out at 70 degrees C. This is with an ambient temp of about 70 degrees F. Games might make this run hotter with the GPU cranked up as well.

    I found that if I have my V6 on super high performance it gets up to the 60-70 C range (Room temp about 22), but now I run most things on the game settings using the Power4Gear and it stays around the 40-50 C deg range. The best thing is that the fan only runs at 1400 rpm and isn’t as noticeable as it is when its flat out at 1700rpms.

    "40-50 C deg range" is pretty good. I think V6 runs even cooler then W3(and it's much thinner!).

    The system will shut off at about 100c if that high...... so you never have to worry about getting above operating temps because the system will shut down before it would burn up...... say if the fan just cut out and died..... that's really what that's in place for. I've never seen a centrino get about 85 and that was under a heavy heavy load.

    Thanks,
