High Temps Scaring Me [100°C]

Lucky, wish it got this cold here, you get tired of the heat eventually

 

Yeah, I'm also the type to rather have it 1F instead of 100F lol

 

Intel's Desktop CPUs are usually rated between 60-75c, where as the mobile chips are rated up to 105c.

 

Oh I'm sorry, Must've gotten them mixed up.
My bad for the incorrect information.
Gladly my CPU has never reached even 60c though

 

i owned a acer 5920 which i returned because it casually reached temperatures of 90C - 100C +
maybe its a acer thing, bad case airflow designs

 

Actually this line of Acers (5930) actually have better cooling than the HP DV5T

Because many people with that have complained on the forums of reaching over 90C with a DDR2 card

While I am the only one on the 5930 owners thread that has hit 90 [except one guy, but his card was OCed like crazy for benchmarking]

I had a dust issue, not a bad airflow design

 

Just to give an update guys

I got some compressed air, and gave both the vents and heatsink a thorough cleaning
I got quite a bit of dust out

I decided to test this by playing CoD4
I played the whole "all ghillied up" mission and some of the one after taking my time

After an hour or two I was amazed with my temps
Check em out:


I'm so happy, my laptop ROCKS!!!!!
The GPU maxed at 75 while the CPU stayed below 65
I'll be testing this against the other games that used to make the temps hit the 90s and see what happens


Time to GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (edit) HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

wow... this info is fantastic... i think i will go get myself a can of compressed air and start cleaning up that clog. I have been hitting 95's and i get really scared wondering if i will get a screwed laptop in a short while... but now, i guess that screwing will have to wait..
btw. how much does this air can cost?

 

LOL...my middle eastern university mate actually manages to make people fall for this.

he tells them he's surfing the net on the back of a camel with a satellite dish. lol.

 

I got a can for between 40-50 riyals and it does last some time

I tricked a few people on the world wide web like that as well

But I prefer to have more luxuries than just a laptop and internet

Electricity for starters

 

Can I borrow your system to cook some boiled eggs???
need it coz my stoves are not dead...

 

Sorry my system runs so cool, it doesn't even warm up my legs anymore

It maxes at around 82 after I cleaned it so, you'll have to find another system to boils your eggs

 

This reminds me, i should post this before other people have the same problem. Recently my GT735 MSI rebrand (tad bit different from the original MSI one) had high temperatures. I was hitting 86c on the GPU and 82c on the CPU while playing GTAIV which is really high since ive never seen them go like that. I closed the game down and noticed the fan was just really quiet, i restarted the computer and when the laptop turns on the fan goes really loud then it goes to normal speed. After further discovery, I realized I was closing down a app called System Monitor. Its a driver, since I was closing it down the fan wasn't changing speed due to temps, which is what caused those high temps. I enabled that process now and it never goes over 81c on GPU and 76c on CPU.

Even though the fan still doesn't go that fast, I really wish there was a way to manually set my fan speed. If I could I probably could get it down to like 60c. Oh well time to buy a fan dock/cooling pad = D.

Btw quick question, my old laptop used to be boiling hot on the ram cover and cpu area on the bottom when it reached 75+c on the cpu. However my new laptop never gets more than warm on the bottom (even if its temp is 75c), is this something to be worried about or is it better?

 

my dv5t with 9600gt hits a max of 73c when crysising. is that high or normal

 

73c is actually very good for a dv5. dv5t's usually heat up to 90c+
