After doing a little gaming and GPU overclocking, I thought I'd share my temps with all of you. I'm pretty impressed with the cooling of this laptop, considering how thin it is.
Here are my specs:
Core i5 2467m
Radeon HD7670M
6GB DDR3 (1600 downclocked to 1333)
500GB 5400rpm + 32GB SSD Cache / Maximized
Windows 7 x64
I pushed the 7670M from 600/900 to 700/1000 after monitoring the temps for a while. At 600/900, 70* was basically the max. At 700/1000, I hit a max of 72* playing Oblivion, and around the same playing Fallout 3. My CPU maxed at 77*, which is a little warm in my opinion but not too bad. I realize these games are not that pushing so I'm going to test out some more and report back.
Some thoughts: 72* is far better than the 100* I hit in my ASUS laptop with the GTX 260M before I drilled holes in the case. I realize the 260M is a superior card, but I feel that the performance of the 7670M isn't too far off at all. Plus I get DX11![]()
Update: I've tested some more with my overclocking enabled and am reporting back. I ran a GPU burn-in using DX11 on MSI Kombustor. Sitting on a flat, wood desk, the temperature hit 78* and 80* for the CPU and GPU, respectively, after about 10 minutes of 100% GPU usage. I don't think it would have gotten any hotter as it barely tipped toed up to 80. As soon as i picked the laptop up (still running the burn in), the temperature of the GPU plummeted to 67*C and the CPU down to 70*. A notebook cooler would probably keep this laptop in the mid 60s, no problem. Impressive.
Update 2: I ran a Prime95 torture test to try to max out the CPU temps. This time, I propped up my laptop to allow for air to pass underneath (never previously done this). With the max heat test in Prime95, my cpu happily bobbled right around 70*, maxing out at 72* on both cores. The turbo boost held pretty steady at 2 Ghz, with the occasional drop to 1.9. I never saw it max out at 2.3 using Prime95.

Those temps are perfect. I wish all HP models were as good.
