    Hi everyone,

    I have a DV9000 laptop and I have problem with the fan control and the Heat Sink. The tempeture of the GPU and CPU go very high (GPU 60 and CPU 48), but the fan runs very slow, like if the tempeture is ok and after that the computer stops. As well I want to replace the pads from the heat sink, so I would like to know which types of pads I should use for this computer and where the GPU is located, because there are three chips (the CPU in right side, one in the middle and another in the left side with the nvidia signature).

    Btw my computer is Intel Duo and the bios is version D.25.

    Thank you in advance for any help

    You can update the BIOS version from the HP website which makes the fan running at a constant speed all the time,thereby delaying the heat induced damage.

    Wow your temps are actually "not bad" for that computer...
    Mine had temps of 90c for GPU before it was replaced

    You should install the new Bios if you are out of warranty, otherwise send it in

    Hi, Thank you guys for the quick reply. I have the BIOS version F.25 and in the website of HP says that the F.3 is for AMD. My computer is Intel, so which BIOS version should I install?

    Btw has someone used this thermal pads from ebay?

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DV9000-Copper...Computing_LaptopAccess_RL?hash=item230384a9b8

    Do you know if this can really reduce 20% of the tempeture in GPU and CPU?

    Thank you for the help
