Superhot CPU in DV6500t

Screenshot from Everest result, taken after about 1.5 minute of benching.
Hi Guys, I am literally clueless at what I am experiencing with my dv6500t. Under load, the CPU temp reaches to 80C as you can see from the attached pic. I am just curious if this behaviour is normal?
I am running Vista X64 with 2GB RAM, room temperature is about 30C with proper ventilation in and around the laptop. Reported temp verufied by Speedfan.

 

Room temperature is 30 degrees Celsius? That must be really hot there!
I think any laptop can be that hot if the ambient temperature is 30 degrees Celsius. It might be just because the room temperature is too high.
Or, it might be because of the heatsink. How old is your laptop? If it is more than one year old, then it might be the heatsink. You may have to clean the heatsink.

I'm not an expert, but if the CPU maintains that temperature after the room temperature drops and after cleaning the heatsink (if your laptop is old), I have no idea..

 

Try another program like HWMonitor and see if it reads the same. Some programs just don't give accurate readings with certain motherboards.

 

80C is in range i believe. you could always undervolt your cpu to use less power but achieve the same speed.

PlanetEarth- I am in northeast, close to Philly and in summer once in a while temp goes up to 30C which I do not think too high. I have overclocked AMD X2 4200+ desktop which tops up to 55C at benchmark conditions. Laptop is only 6 months old, and it was nto used that much either.
netkiller- thanks for the thread link, I will how things behave with rmclock.
Edit- rmclock is not working in my vista x64 machine, so I am kinda stuck. Thinking of sending it to HP warranty service now.

 

Update- Laptop is going to HP Warranty service Monday or Wednesday. Looks like I got hot lemon.

 

Have you cleaned out your vents? most people never check/clean their vents. Vents get clogged with a load of dust and the heatsink can't really do anything if there's no air being pushed through the cooling system.

 

Your temps are fine for a 30c room! Theres no need to send it in for warranty. I cant believe i didnt see this earlier.

You cant compare desktop temps to notebook temps. Desktops have a big dedicated fan thats always running. Notebooks have a limited size/powered fan.

What BIOS are you running?

 

Those temp ranges look pretty normal, surprised about the warranty.

 

I think it is in your best interest to thoroughly clean out the vents on your laptop with a can of compressed air. Try to get it in the various vents at several possible angles to dislodge and expel all the dust that might have accumulated.

 

I think I should answer some of your questions here- the laptop is barely used till last one month or so. I have checked the vents, since these were the first thing I have looked at. Everything looks clean from outside.
I am using the latest BIOS, as instructed to do so by HP support. I am really curious to know your temps if you are using a dv6000 series notebook.
FYI, as of now, ambient temp is 22C; to my surprise CPU temps did not come down a bit, both cores are at 49C at 1% CPU load. Under 100% load, temps are again touching 80C. I don't think this right as par my experience with my 3 year old Dell M20. Under load temp on my older Pentium M 1.76GHz dothan was never beyond 70C. Do you all think I am just paranoid with my newish laptop?

 

Okay 22c room temperature and 49c idle is abit off. It should be around 43c. What about GPU temps

 

I am selling my dv6500z laptop. The CPU temps never got above 65°C, even under load for an extended period of time. The GPU never got above the low 70s (°C), even after playing games for several hours.

(That is a Turion CPU, by the way).

So, in your case, it sounds as though you either have poor hardware, poor airflow, or maybe there is a lack of thermal paste/pads between your hardware and heatsinks (a distinct possibility).

 

Please tell me you didnt use speedfan to measure those temps :confused2:

 

Me? No, I was using Everest.

 

Here is my quick bit. I have a DV6500T with 2.4Ghz, and recently I read on engadget.com that all the nVidia 8400m GS series were faulty with overheating problems. I have noticed that my GPU is constantly super hot even without using the laptop at all. This contributed to my CPU hear, but even under stress and 100% use I never reached 80C. Also to tell you I recenlty sent my laptop to HP because i had a terrible LCD with dead pixles, now the laptop came back and it is running a little cooler than before.

I have a question on my own though, when I put a program like CPUZ to tell me the speed of my processor it is constantly on 1500-1600mhz it never shows 2400mhz, and this is not because it is idling. I have recorded my speed also while doing a CPU benchmark and it still 1600mhz, also one of the bench marks reported 800mhz. And of course the benchmark resuts come back low as hell. I am confused why my CPU does not switch to the higher frequency. And yes, I do have the latest BIOS.

 

Check your power profile, make sure its in High Performance.

If its in battery saver, it will run half speed.
