    Hello!

    I'm new here, and i got a question that burns my mind! :p

    I own a Compaq Presario F700 Series Notebook (more exactly, the model F755). Thats all ok with the computer, exept when i run HWMonitor and i see that the current temperature of the GPU core are in 60 degree celcius (139 in °F).

    [​IMG]

    Is that ok? When i was in my home, the notebook is used in the High Performance profile of Windows Vista.

    There are any chance that this temperature could damage the computer over time? Or are normal temperature for a notebook?

    Thanks!

    IMO, those are normal GPU temperature's (not sure if its 'not' normal for your specific model, though!).

    It is normal. But of course all electric components last longer when they are cooler. I just replaced the thermal compound on both gpu (nVidia Go7600) and cpu (Intel Core Duo @ 1.66 GHz). Now the GPU is at 38°C idle and CPU at 40°C. I used Arctic Silver 5 for both.

    What drivers are you using for displaying temperatures on your 7600 any special? Cause I can't see temps on my GPU.

    Actually, Michel.K, I haven't checked. I know I installed some modified drivers from laptopvideo2go since I had a problem with my screen flickering during boot. I know the temperature comes up automatically in Speedfan along with HDD, ACPI and Core temps. I will have to check this and get back to you when I come home.

    Think thats a normal temp.
    My overclocked and copper modded GPU ran at 90C when gaming. and its ideal temp is like 57C.
    So your temp is perfectly fine. :D

    I have an extremely similar laptop, Compaq F700, with a Nvidia GeForce 6100...
    Idle: 76 C
    Load: 115 C
    I know these temps are really hot...and I know that I am destroying my GPU processor and memory by running it this hot...
    My laptop is 9 months old is there anything I can do short of taking it apart and manually cleaning the fan?

    Edit: I haven't done any modifications to it at all.

    Peredur3, you could try using a cooling pad. I have no personal experience in how much a cooling pad helps but that is the only thing I can think of with the exception of opening up the computer. Although, when I'm gaming I try to elevate the laptop somewhat (typically 3 centimeters) and try not to block airvents. Hope that helps.
