    Mitac - 45 C idle, 67 C load/gaming

    Toshiba L100 - 48 C idle, 65(?) load/gaming (it's just been cleaned out and AS5'd)

    Toshiba M100 - 47-53C idle, 65 load


    Generally pretty reasonable for mobile chips. HDDs from what I can see stay around 42-45 C.

    This thread has been moved to the hardware forum.

    Remember to post the ambient room temperature along with your temperatures otherwise you can't compare to anyone else.

    I think there is already a thread like this in the gaming forum.
    For what it's worth though:
    50c idle
    80c gaming

    The only cooling I use is the Xpad passive cooling solution.

    I run all of the fans on full all of the time. My hdd temps are low because I modified the hdd bay and I put a larger higher cfm fan in it.

    CPU 35C - 57C
    GPU 35C - 55C
    Mem 38C - 45C
    HDD 33C - 46C
    The temp of the room is about 65-70F

    CPU
    Idle: 47C
    Under 2xPrime95: 47C; fan comes on at 49C, turns off at 46C just like idling :D
    I did undervolt it 0.300V.

    HDD
    Idle: 36C
    Under heavy load: 48C+, I turn computer off, because stupid Vista is doing something
