Heating issues with the 700m

I have a 700m nearly 2 years old, I replaced the thermal paste on it about a few months ago which knocked my temperature down a bit from maxing out to about 6-7 degrees cooler.....whatever the temp where your processor slows down to compensate for too much heat

Basically right now if I leave my 700m on, and its running its Pentium M 1.8 ghz chip at max speed, I get an average CPU temp of 76 degrees and the exterior near my processor is very very hot....this is with the fan unblocked and basically holding the laptop up in the air....then if I leave it at a table at 1.8 ghz, I easily can get my temp up to 81-85 degrees....room temp averages about 73ish degrees(my desktop is constantly folding and raises my room temp)....any ideas?

 

I would look into undervolting ur cpu, that should significantly lower ur heat.

Also, check and make sure ur fans are not filled up with dust. I've seen many threads with the same type of problem, and usually the cleaning of the fans made a huge difference. That is unless this has always been the case with ur laptop. But I'm guessing not, since u would've have said something about this the first day u got it. So it's definitely dust that's built up over time in ur fans not allowing the cooling of ur cpu.

 

What are you using to monitor temps? Did you apply thermal grease properly? What kind of ambient temperature are you experiencing? As mentioned are you sure that the fans are dusty? Take a look at the cooling guide.

 

yeah I had tech onsite that ended recently replace my thermal greese, I not sure if its the fan being clogged, cause I get a 10 degree drop if I let the fan go table free or something.

Also HDD goes up to 58-60 as well

Im using something called Mobilemeter

Ill look to undervolting though, Im still using factory specs from when I bought it

 

I'll clean the fans & if it is possible for you, try to buy & reapply the grease/thermal pad again as it may also be possible that the tech did not do a good job applying it...

 

If you use too much thermal paste, it can overheat as well. I suggest getting some compressed air and blowing out the fans from all vents and angles. An air compressor would work, but is not recommended because it could damage the motherboard. So if you use an air compressor, use a low pressure tip.
