anyone have original HP 8530w elitebook and qx9300 quad also?

i recently bought this laptop and im running stress tests on this laptop w/ prime95 and told by a fellow board member(who has been of wonderful help) that they detect issue w/ my heatsink mounting/paste for my quad core qx9300. it was stated that thermal throttle shouldnt happen until temperatures into the 100 celsius range on a laptop?!

1) i start the test and all 4 cores are steady running through tests
2) after 3 min, the first 2 cores max out at 91, 90 celsius while the last 2
are 89,88. The first 2 cores start going down in temp to about 76, 75 and
never complete another test while the last 2 cores are 85, 86 celsius and
run through an additional 8 tests afterwards.

can anyone give more feedback or possibly try these tests also? i run 64 bit vista also btw.

 

I'm glad I was of some help, but it would seem that the quad option in the 8530w is rare. You may have better luck asking this question in the 8730w owners thread. There seem to be far more people using the QX9300 in that laptop than in ours.

 

good idea. ill contact some1 over there. thanks.
