processor on 7805u overheating??

hi im new to this furom thing hehe but i bought a gateway 7805u fx laptop like 2 months ago its been playing ok but in the past few days i have been noticing that the processor is hitting 85c temps when playing games like counter-strike source or runescape which is weird because before i could have them both on at the same time and it was at about 65c-70c i live in puerto rico and the enviroment is hot especially my room i dont have a cooler for it but i plan on getting one right now i have it up off the desk about 3-4 inches and the fan facing it since over here not a lot of people have air conditioning at night its idle at about 44c and during the day its idle at 56-62c and when on a load during the night its around 75-80c and during the day 80-91c any help is it gonna damage this cpu??

 

you are within tolerances but I would keep some compressed air around and blow out the GPU/CPU vents once a week or so. A good thermal paste on the CPU wouldn't hurt either but that coulod void your warenty...............

 

Try cleaning out the cpu heat sink.

All you have to do is open up the larger panel on the bottom of the lappy.

There should be a large piece of copper running along. Unscrew it. At the end will be a lot of thin pieces of metal, make sure those are dust free.

When I did that a few days ago, my load went from 62 to 44.

 

thank you guys for the help im still gonna buy a cooler for it but the temp's did drop a little the whole left side of the heatsink was full of dust it was blocking the fan air to go thru and i put it on a load and it only reached 76c on each core

 

Thats still higher than it should be. I play CoD4 and my temps hover around 60C CPU and 78-80 GPU. Make sure you are getting sufficient air to the intake of the fan and it needs to be on a hard, flat surface. A table or the like, not a bed or couch.

 

i put some thermal paste on today will my temp start decreasing fast or do i have to wait till it settles to see the temps improve?? and can i run the cpu at max load or should i wait a couple days to do that?

the thermal compound used people say its good but im not sure i used this one http://www.xoxide.com/arcticsilver5.html

 

i use x9100 e0 on my p-7805u and it's 44watts cpu(stock p8400 is mere 25watts). i consider it's hottest cpu you can put in this laptop and it still never go beyond 70c even during the hours of prime95 torture test and it never go beyond 60c when i play games like crysis, fear 2 etc.
if yours run that hot, i think something is seriously wrong with your heatsink or cpu(if thermal compound is applied right). or you are not playing your laptop on carpet, are you?

 

i live in puerto rico a lot of people over here dont have carpet its not used we use tile floors and the climate is hot we have to be using fans no a.c so i dont know where u live that must be out in the states cause when i lived out in the states i had low temps max on load was 60c when i was out in the states its when came over here that the temps started getting so crazy im gonna wait till i know that the thermal compound is completely settled and starts passing the heat better from the cpu to heatsink i will keep the heatsink clean and im buying a new laptop cooler so the temps should drop

 

yeah, i live in michigan. it's not so hot right now so i suppose, i have low cpu temperature. it's only 25c when i turn on and idles at 31ish and never go
beyond 37c when i am not playing games. well.. since summer is coming up
pretty soon, temperature might go crazy for mine as well(i hope not)..
if that happens i might have to get that huge antec notebook cooler which
i don't want to carry around.. =(

 

yea probably during the summer you will see higher temps most likely just not as horrible as mine lmao when i get cooler they will drop a lot and also when the thermal compound finishes and gets particle to particle which thats when il see my temps drop by 3-12c and also with the cooler that should help drop a couple more c's so yea

 

i was thinking of buying the x9100 il probably get it next month after i get cooler and all that to see if my temps drop with the cooler and thermal compound and if they do il buy it

 

im still getting high temps for some reason now its even worse even after the thermal compound now during the night its at 80c per core when only playing 1 game..what could be wrong?

 

Well, for comparison. I live in Florida and will idle from 28-30 depending on the time of day. My max never goes beyond 43 now.

-recently cleaned out my heatsink
-recentely applied IC Diamond
-Undervolted
-NZXT Cryo

 

how can i undervolt it? and the program i was using was giving me the wrong temps...because the program i was using was everest ultimate edition it was telling me 90c so i got curious and opened up hwmonitor too find out it was really on 80c i was just playing a game few minutes ago dint go higher than 70c on hwmonitor and on everest it was saying 80-85c so im gonna with with the hw monitor temps since most people they thats better and more people trust it im gonna buy that same cooler soon probably on may 25th thats my birthday
and im sure when i get it il see it max on only around 60c.. cause im idling at around 33c-35c so i just think it was everest giving me wrong temps

 

Have you tried RMClock to undervolt it??

 

no where can i get that?

 

tried to install it and it dint let me

 

and i cant run it either

 

Your CPU should be idling around 15-35 and max around 35-50. Those are the temperatures I got when I played Mass Effect and GTA IV.

Here's a screenshot of my current temperatures. I'm playing music, running Firefox with 6 tabs open and playing a movie.


Replace your laptop immediately.

 

i dont have any warranty left on this laptop i contacted gateway and they said if i wanted to send it in for a depot repair should i do that?? they said if it got too hot on my lap but it dosent get hot on my laptop when playing games or anything im gonna add an attachment of the temps i get for 4 diffrent programs i dont know which temps to beleive..im putting the temps of the comp on idle and when its on max load playing runescape i do live in puerto rico this laptop has no cooler at all my room is an extremly hot enviroment especially during the day it gets super hot in my room even with a fan its hot in my room so i dont think that helps the cpu right now its night time and its hot even with a fan during the day i point the fan at it and max temps i get are 65c on hwmonitor and on the other ones i get 70c i just recently applied artic silver 5 only about like 5 days ago so idk u guys can tell me

 

this is it on idle at night

 

You tend to run a bit high both day and night but at high ambient temps this is somewhat to be expected. ICD 7 or 24 might get you an extra 3c for the CPU.

Your circumstances seem to be about the max for the system. While you can have a fan blowing on the system a cooler, like the zalman, it still the best bet. At least be sure the back is proped up 1/2" or better...........

 

where can i get some ic diamond so that i can put some of that on so atleast it drops the temps 3-4c more and im gonna buy a cooler also

 

got mine from http://www.heatsinkfactory.com/ic-diamond-24-carat-thermal-compound.html

 

should i buy this cooler or is there a better one for this laptop? http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=145&Itemid=1

 

what is the lastest bios that is .exe for this laptop does anybody have a link to it to see if i can upgrade the bios cause it still has the one that came with the computer

 

What bios version do you have? Mine came with 9c.11.00 and I upgraded to 9c.12.00. There was no real change other than the sound card by default did not get recognized. There is a trick to getting it back in.

Now if you have the 9c.17.00 then you have the latest and greatest. At the momnet there is no way to get this version as an upgrade..........

 

In general I think you will find people ae happier with the Zalmon. This one takes a huge draw on the USB and does not seem to provide better, and possibly inferior, cooling.......

 

where can i get the zalman cooler?

 

would this be the cooler i need to get? i want to get the best one for this laptop so that it stays cool even when im gaming.

That is the cooler I use, as do many others here as well. Don't expect miracles as this isn't a thermoelectric device, but for ambient cooling it is your best bet...............

 

if after i apply the new ic diamond and i buy this cooler and i still dont see temps drop well then i will probably send it in for a depot repair to one of the gateway service centers because with all that i dont think this computer should be getting too hot even if i live in a hot enviroment the temps im seeing are just weird today i couldnt even play any games it would undervolt itself too lower the temp of the cpu so hopefully this stuff will lower the temp if not i will send it in.

 

im probably just gonna send it in for the depot repair i think the heatsink has something wrong with it because i dont feel the heat passing thru the copper only the copper near the processor is hot it stops when the copper gets to the corner like where the fat copper is the heat stops there so the heat isnt even being transfered to the heatsink i think what do u guys think? want me to take a picture and show u where i feel no heat when i touch?

 

i took a pic i found on google of the heatsink of this laptop to show u guys where it is that i feel no heat

 

i think its the heatsink because i have a new problem i now cant play any games unless the fan is on and right beside it because as soon as i launch a game the temps go to 60c then start going up all the way till the cpu has to undervolt itself too cool so it has to be the heatsink what do u guys think?
