    Hi.
    Can somebody post the temperatures of the e1505/6400 in idle, in normal load (surfing in web...) and in full-load (eg games...)?
    Where the notebook is hot?
    Is it possible to use the keyboard for many hours when the notebook is in full-load?

    Thanks!

    Well I can't post temps because I don't have a software to report them,
    but so far I played games, surfed web, etc. and I am extremely happy with
    the temperature. The fan hardly runs. The keyboard gets warm slightly but nowhere near hot. The bottom of the LCD gets a bit hot but that is completely
    acceptable since the light source is producing some heat there.

    I hardly notice the fans running when I'm using the computer...I do notice the palmrests get warm, especially if you're doing something with the optical drive, as it is right under the left palmrest..

    Overall though, very pleased with the temperature

    drumfu,

    Thanks for posting that program. Do you have a config file already set up for the 1505?

    Did you install MBM to check those temps?. I cant seem to install MBM on the E1505 and samurize wont tell me anything without it. What did you do?

    normal (web browsing, im, itunes, etc)
    cpu: ~89-95
    gpu: ~90-105
    Dimm: ~100-120
    hd: ~90-115

    when i'm gaming or just 100% load (for which i OC) the cpu goes up to 135-140 and the gpu to around 110.

    the temperatures are also very dependent on the room im in and how much space is underneath the bottom of the case.

    check the Download section on the site. there are plenty of plugin/scripts/configs that are written for system monitoring. if one doesn't work, move on. as well, you can burrow down to WMI features and grab the data that way.
