I successfully upgraded from a P7450 to a T9900 two weeks ago and would like some opinions on my temperature readings on this system that I bought in 3/10. Truthfully, I have not noticed much increase in temp from the old CPU and although I use a dual-fan cooling pad, temps remain steady regardless if the pad is being used or not. I know this system runs hot due to some design flaws as well. I also used Arctic Silver thermal compound and the chassis/fan are free of dust/debris.
In HWMonitor my CPU idles around 36C, GPU 45C, and TZ00 (MOBO?) about 48C. I put it through some gaming tests and the CPU/TZ00 rose to the high 60's low 70's C. Yesterday I used a video converter for about 15 minutes and and the TZ00 shot to 80C and the CPU went to about 75C within a few minutes then remained constant thereafter.
So, how do these numbers look?

Tsunade_Hime such bacon. wow
What is your ambient room temperature? If it's ~23C then the temperatures are okay. Have you tried blowing out all the dust in the fan/heatsink/heatfins?

Thanks, it is actually a bit warmer in the house now. Yes the case and fans are clean, I made sure of that.

Thats normal for notebook CPUS
My i7 720QM reaches 90 degrees on extreme load. I called dell. They said don't worry.

Your processor can take 105degrees C -
90C huh? That's warm haha. Thanks for the replies, I just wanted to see if the CPU was running within a good temp range.
