    Hey guys i have a hp dv5t with a 2 ghz intel T5800 and a Nvidia 9600 512 mb gpu. I was just wondering what good temperatures for this computer are, because im trying to be really cautious with this computer since my last one broke. Also is there anything I can do to reduce temperatures other than cooler? I have one but doesn't seem to do much. Thanks!

    Oh and by good temps i mean temps that might necessarily make the computer fry but i dont want to put undue stress on it either.

    CPU: <70C
    GPU: <90C
    HDD: <60C

    Measure Temps with HWMonitor. ;)


    Undervolting your CPU will help alot. Read the Undervolting Guide. ;)
    And regularly cleaning out vents and fans.
    Re-Applying Thermal Paste as well , but thats pretty much unnesesary. ;)

    WOW, really? :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Not Good, i highly suggest you Undervolt and get a Cooler.

    See my Enermax Aeolus Review in Sig. I have pics of the dv5t on it. The dv5t appears to work well on it too. ;)

    Mainly, just use compressed Air and spray into the vents.

    Search HP's Website for the Service Manual to you notebook for instructions for taking it apart. But it probably isnt nessesary.
