    Hi, everyone
    i don't know if my question belong to this thread or else.
    first of all i bought my dv5 two weeks ago with following specifications:
    CPU T5800, 4 G. Ram, Nvidia 9600GT (512), 250 G. HD
    my concern is CPU temp.
    when idle temp. is:
    GPU = 48C
    CPU = 42C
    HD = 38C

    but under load (3D Mark 06)
    GPU = 72C
    CPU = 78C :confused:
    HD = 40C

    T5800 thermal threshold is 85C, therefore 78C is very close.
    N.B.: i use generic cool pad and raise my laptop back as recommended in other threads and installed latest bios (F.14).

    ANY SUGGESTION!!

    Thanks in advance

    I highly suggest Undervolting, via the Undervolting Guide. ;)

    Id also look into the NZXT Cryo LX and Enermax Aeolus CP001 (review in sig) for a new cooler. Generic Coolers usually arent very good.

    Temps are perfectly fine. Pretty standard to be honest. Undervolting should drop the temp to a good level.

    thanks for reply
    i mainly bought this laptop to replace my aging Dell inspiron e1505 (with ATI X1400 and T7200) that hadn't any overheating problem but playing games while undervolting is not an option.
    i will check cooler, but i don't know if it is available where i live.
    I wonder why T5800 produce such heat while has 85C thermal threshold (T7200 has 100C thermal threshold)

    Today i reached CPU temp (83 C) during rendering which is 2 C below thermal threshold for T5800.
    is there anyone using T5800 with similar problem.
    thanks for your replies

    I will say it for the last time your temps are fine. 85C is NOT it's temp threshold other wise you notebook will be shutting down well in advance. Go try undervolting as suggested above. That will cut off a decent amount of heat.
