    Is this bad? CPU Temps

    My computer shuts down on its own while I encode movies, unless it is in from of the air conditioner.

    Notice the Max CPU temp
    [​IMG]

    That was after 2 minutes of a CPU stress. The computer was sitting at about 94 degrees celcius, then I picked it up tilted the computer and put it infront of a fan, then the temps shot up and the computer shut down on its own.

    I have a dv6736nr (HP Pavillion with Turion 64 x2 ML-60)

    Any suggestions with what to do? I started going through the undervolting guide and that makes me think there is too much wrong. Maybe I should take the computer apart and clean it? Then go from there?

    yes, that's high. Is the fan not spinning?

    something is wrong with the heatsink's connection to the CPU.

    GPU is high, but may be normal. Its numbers may be a function of the CPU issues.

    I'd take it somewhere and have them reapply thermal paste and re-secure the heatsink. then stress test with ORTHOS. same with the GPU if the temperatures don't come down for that as well.

    If it's under warranty, send it back to HP ASAP.

    I would clean out the dust, replace the thermal paste and also follow the undervolting guide.

    If your warrenty is gone, you can connect the fan directly to usb power to make it spin at it's max all the time.
    Though this will kill the fan faster than normal.

    But really the clean up + the undervolting guide should reduce the temps by at least 20C.

    The fan works, it increases in speed as the CPU gets hotter. Thanks for the other info.

    Can I use thermal paste and reapply the heatsink? Or should that be left to professionals?

    I also noticed from reading other threads that AMD processors simply overheat. Maybe the heatsink is still attached?

    For your sake, I should hope your heatsink is still attached. :p

    66 during stress is not that high in my opinion.

    Try stressing it for ten minutes and see what happens. Run Intel Burn 2.3. Nothing stresses better than that.

    ??????????????

    re check the picture Dr. Phil


    AMD's don't just simply overheat.

    You need to clean out your vents and try to reapply your thermal paste. After that try the undervolting guide

    you do have the fact its a HP working against you though ... :eek:

    Oh right. I thought it was TjMax in the last column.

    If his CPU was actually over 100 yeah that would be very hot.

    I'm getting 55~60s idle and up to 75 during stress test for my CPU but it appears normal to me o_O Do AMD and Intel really have that much of a difference in "High" or is it just the difference between the amount of cores? ._.

    ????

    AMD makes dual cores and intel makes dual cores

    when did 2/=/ 2?

    AMD user here. The newer RM-72.
    AMD Mobilie Processor Max Temp is 100 degs (from the AMD Documents)
    From experience AMD tends to be hotter but their chips can survive hotter temperature than Intel.
    Solution is to undervolt and apply Arctic Silver 5 that is about it.

    you don't compare quads to duals

    you REALLY don't compare HP's version of cooling to Clevo's

    and you don't compare CPU makers (least of all)


    and yea a quad core will ALWAYS run hotter then a dual core unless its all jacked up on voltage and overclocked since there is basically 2 dual core cpu's put into one chip
