Core Duo @ Full Load Temps?

Hello,

I have a Core Duo T2500 (2.0Ghz) On my Toshiba P105-S9312.
And I've recently managed to Run 2x Folding @ Home Clients.

The CPU Load Temps, Hover around 73C, and If I Try Gaming as Well with F@H In the Background the temps can reach 81-82C and I get a Warning Message from NHC when I Reach 80C.

Should I be Worried??? Are Those Dangerous Temps??

While my Video Card is OverClocked and I'm gaming I Experience Upper 70's and Low 80's on my GPU as Well..

Thank You, for your time...

 

Your computer would shut itself down (and display a warning - not from a third party application) if it reached dangerous temperature levels. NHC is a third party program, so although its warnings are useful, they aren't something to worry about.

 

Temps sound normal to me for a T2500. I'm running Orthos Large-FFTs and monitoring temp readouts from Core Temp Beta 0.9 and after several minutes I'm at 76C on my Lenovo Z61m. The Tjunction readout says 100C and i believe that the Tjunction is the thermal cutoff where thermal throttling kicks in but I'm not sure on that. NHC is reading around 2C higher then Core Temp and i believe Core Temp to be more accurate because It's suppost to read directly from the thermal diode.

 

Mine 1.73Ghz Core Duo maxes in the low 40s C.

 

What are you running to load both cores? If you're not running something like Prime95/Orthos or F@H or something of that nature then you're probably not maxing it out. Also i believe you meant 1.83GHz (T2400) since last i checked there is no 1.73GHz Core Duo.

Core Temp is reading 80C now and NHC is reading 83C. These temps do seem a little high but i have been running 100% load with Orthos for quite a while now. I notice that in NHC that it shows 83C and then in parentheses is shows (79C) which is the temp I'm getting in Core Temp.

 

Those temperatures are very high; they should be around 50-60 at idle and possibly up to 70 or so while under load. I advise checking the insides of the notebook to make sure the CPU is getting proper contact with the heatsink, and perhaps apply some Arctic Silver 5.

And check to see if your fans are running at all.

 

The T2250 is the 1.73 GHz Core Duo.

While those temps are OK, I think you would benefit from lowering them. Try a cooling pad. I use this one, and it works great my Mobile Sempron (I know, totally different CPU, I'm just using it for relitive temps). dropped down from maxing out at 67 degrees (c) to maxing out at 42 degrees. Now it idles at 34 degrees with the overclock.

Download a program to change fan speed like I8kfanGUI. I use it while gaming and it's great. Change the fan speed manually when doing intensive tasks to HIGH, it should do the trick.

 

Okay, just checked my CPU temp and I stand slightly corrected. After running F@H for 26 hours straight and other programs, it's at 47C.

 

WoW thanks guys.. Many Inputs...

Ok to zolo, I have a Toshiba, I8kfanGUI only works on Dell Laptoips.

and to Chaz, I think u got a little confused, I get Idle Temps of 43C, and Load Temps while Running 2 Different F@H Clients for each Core, It gos up to 72-73C.... I only reach 80's when the laptop's on my Bed, or some other surface, without my Lian Li Notebook Cooler. The Notebook cooler lowers both temps by a couple of degrees.

So to sum it up, you guys don't think that Low 80's C for Max Load Temps for my CPU is not Dangerous then??? I mean as I mentioned Normal Load Temps are Low 70's, but I live in the Caribbean, it's always Summer Here.. heheh I only reach Low 80's on certain circunstances.

 

I didn't say download that program exactly, just find any program that can change fan speed like "I8kfanGUI". It still will do the trick

 

I have core 2 duo 2.0ghz T7200. When running Oblivion my temp is around 75 on NHC. On normal load it is always 50+, never do I see it below 50.

Those are the temps in a non-airconed room with coolermaster cooler.

Once in a really hot room without cooler I have reached 80s too.

 

Temps are fine... You're really stressing both cores and in hot climate so it doesn't suprise me it reaches those temps. Even with my pentium-m I can reach 80c if I really push it.

I would only be concerned if its 90c+. Its over 100c before it becomes critical...

Each notebooks thermals is different and cannot be compared.

 

If your idle temps are low and 100% usage temps are very high, I think your fan has a problem. Check the fan, does it run or does it have a lot of dust? After checking it download Speedfan and see if you can adjust fan speeds.

And if you are a gamer, dont want to burn your hands and want to play cool (or do a little overclocking) get yourself a notebook cooler then.

The Core Duo's are known to be hot, my friend has an T2300E that runs up to 76 degrees Celsius while playing BF2.

thats your problem

most notebook fan intake vents are located on the bottom and sides. by blocking the fan intake ports, then the fan has to work harder to draw air in, which means the fan's speed will drop.

depending of the softness of your bed, you might even be blocking the exhaust port which would also increase teh work load of your fan

also, by placing the laptop near a source of dust like a bed would increase dust buildup rate

70C is normal, 80 is getting high

 

What does "NHC" mean exactly?
