Normal temp of HD and Processor

I am using Moblie meter on my notebok to read the temp of my HD. It is not able to read the temp of processor however( even so with NHC). I wonder what is nornal range of temp for HD and processor for Notebook and for desktop? And at what figure u should be worried that it si too hot?

My HD temp on start up is about 36 C and it increases after that with a max of 48 C with many hours of use. Now( when I am writing this post) it is 44 C after about 3-4 hours of use. Is it ok?

Also from temp of HD, can u guess temp of processor?

 

That seems like a fine temp for your HDD, a little on the warm side though.

Did you try using sisandra soft? That should tell you your cpu temp.

 

As mentioned that is a great temp for the HD - twice that would start to be a concern if it stayed at that.

CPU temp can range assuming speedstepping / dynamic clock adjusmtents / whatever you want to call it , is used. My CPU is cuurently at a 47 , it has been up for about 30 hours, Currently it is only running at 799 MHz (it is a 2 GHz processor) - gamming would stress it and increase the temp.

 

My hard drive temp right now is at 39C - 40C. And I have been leaving it on for 11 hours.

My CPU temp is at 32C.

I am using NHC. And right now I am at my dorm, and the room temperature is somewhat warm because I just woke up and the windows and doors are closed.

 

Seems too low as compared to mine, how much it goes after few hours of use.

 

I wonder is there any difference by type of HD. I have SATA.

 

Both NHC and mobile meter are unable to read, so I think Toshiba closed it. Do u think sisandra soft can read. I am afraid if any of these type of software can damage my hardware?

 

They can if you control the fans and mess up the cooling. Other than that...no I haven't heard of anything like that.

 

I said 11 hours.

 

what model notebook are you using? sometimes the programs to not fully support the notebook, or the platform it is on.

mobile meter, can detect the HDD temp, and SYSTEM temp on my Acer5672. the clock speed it cannot tell when it is being throttled down.

sisandra soft...i'll try that one too.

and no..the software cannot damage your hardware. unless u start using the software to play around with voltages, and fan speeds. and all that jazz.

EDIT: i forgot why i didnt try sandra soft...u gotta pay for it.

 

atm my CPU is at 81degrees C and hard drive at 48. Fans running on full blast.
its on a bed so the fans are covered that why its so hot .

When it goes to 82degrees my notebook shuts off because of thermal overload...good times...


your temperatures are fine, nothing to worry about.

 

One of the guys in my hall put his laptop on the bed and bam! LOL it overheated and it fried his chips/ram/everything. Luckily he bought the extended warranty that replaces accidental damages too.

 

aer0sense you are NUTS, you're using your laptop in which power mode? Full performance?

My laptop doesn't get anywhere near 65 degrees, well sometimes not even close to 60 degrees, running on my bed or on the couch or on my lap when I have it running in power saving mode.

You are gonna have a broken laptop soon if you don't power down your CPU so it runs cooler.

I always have my baby in dynamic switching mode so she never gets hot even with her vents somewhat blocked.

It is NOT fine to have your CPU temp that high so don't listen to aerosense.

Your harddrive temp is fine as long as it doesn't hang out around the 55 degree celcius temperature for long periods of time. One exception to the rule, I've read from long time users of the Hitachis that those babies are fine up to 65 degrees.

So there you have it.

Cheers,

well atm hard drive at 36degrees and CPU at 39 so all good.

Shampoo...you have a pentium M dont even start to compare with a 2 year old notebook with a pentium 4 HT in terms of heat and that too on a notebook. I always use my notebook in performance mode because I cant select modes, and ofcourse its fans are run down etc, its used constantly.

When I said that your CPU is fine I meant his not mine...

I cant do much about the CPU temperature, Im not the type of person who turns off there notebook when sleeping so mines on 24 hours of the day 7 days a week 365 days a year, even when im carrying it its in hibernate mode. I always open up my notebook and clean the fans when possible. I need to send this to HP soon enough and am waiting on my Sony VAIO SZ before I do that. I have had this laptop for over 2 years now and havent had 1 problem with it so far so im pretty sure I know how to take care of my notebook.

 

So I think temp may be a lot variable depending upon CPU usage a swell.

 

Anything below 50 is excellent
50-55 good
above 55 you should worry about it

In my case, I notice that ambient temp affects it a lot, from 42-48 variation, just if it was a hot day, although the CPU temp barely goes up in hot weather or at most a couple of degrees.

 

Too surprizing, why it was not auto turn off, is there no such protection in notebooks?

 

Toshiba satellite M 70

 

I really have no idea. So far for me, I've only seen max heat capacity is through NHC. But I bet there is a safety temp hidden somewhere in my bios.

 

Maybe, but its good anways, my notebook thermal overloads when the CPU reaches 82degrees, which already happened to me.

 

My sister bought a Toshiba with a Celeron a few years ago. it is unusable in the summer, constantly shutting itself down.

 

You're temps are fine. Intel rates their P-M to be usable up to 100C, if another P-M system has thermal protection at lower temps it's probably set so in the BIOs by the manufacturer.

Hard drives are usually rated to work from 5-55C ambient temps, so it should be fine as long as the hard drive temp is below 60C or so.

You also cannot compare temperatures with different notebook designs and models to see if your temperatures are 'normal'. This is because different designs have different cooling systems, for instance, my Z70Va has relatively poor cooling for the HD, idles around 50C and can go all the way up to 60C.

 

My HD temp is usualy 46-52c depends where im using it

 

Just sitting on my desk, my hard drive temp is 42C. Is this about normal?

 

hm.. doesn't hibernate turn the system off after writing what is in
ram to your harddisk? perhaps you mean you use standby mode?

 

My HD temp is mostly around 44-49. I don,t play games, only surfing and office documents. Seems bit high. Sorry I am reposting but just thinking some have only about 36. Why such a difference. It,s SATA HD.
