dv6000 temps around 70C!?

Been having this problem ever since I switched to the F.29 BIOS, but I've switched back to F.16 and am still seeing high temps.

HP Pavilion dv6200 CTO:
Vista Ultimate
Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0 GHz
2 GB RAM
Geforce Go 7400 128MB
Fujitsu MHY2250BH 250 GB HDD

SpeedFan 4.35 beta 21, idle (Firefox 3 open) range over charted period:
Core 0: 63C - 71C
Core 1: 64C - 73C
Temp1: 64C - 75C
GPU: 70C - 72C
HD0: 57C - 58C

HWMonitor:
ACPI: 69C
Core 0: 66C
Core 1: 67C
GPU: 68C
HDD: 58C

Searched, and this looks higher than healthy...?

 

My HP (see sig) is also experiencing heating issues; CPU temps idle at 58C and max out at 83C even with HP's new BIOS that revamps the fan algorithms. In fact, ever since my Nvidia's GPU failure, my computer has been running much hotter than ever before.

 

You guys ever try blowing out the vents with a can of compressed air?

 

Have I ever... its also been in repair for over a month. Its not a matter of maintenance, its a matter of faulty design that results in this:

Guys, I have been throug the same situation. But did some work arounds and got better temp results. There is a guide here to undervolt your cpu using RMCLOCK and getting a cooling pad is also a great thing for the HDD Temps.
I got the ZALMAN cooling pad, and did the undervolt that keeps my temps around 44 C when idle and 48-52 C when browsing, listening to music working in office and stuff like that. The max I get when gaming is 65C, I tell you it worth trying.

Guys, is this heat issues concern only to those nvidia cards? what about the IGP's? mine is not nvidia, and it rarely gets hot..

 

soooo...I'm currently in the process of undervolting as instructed it the guide. In the inital run w/no undervolting, my ACPI hit 89C and Core temps hit 95C Hope there's no damage?

Guntraitor, I think you're fine. Integrated draws a lot less heat than discrete, and if you haven't seen high temps, you don't need to worry about it.

 

Replace the thermal grease people...

If you've blown out the dust and modified fan speeds and it's still hot, that means that the heatsink isn't displacing enough heat, meaning that your thermal grease has to be replaced.

Disassemble the notebook, clear off the (probably crusted by now) factory thermal grease, and replace it with some Arctic Silver 5 (just a rice grain's worth).

That should, in my humble opinion, fix your heat problem for now.

 

Planning to blow out the dust as soon as I get some compressed air, looked at it and I don't see much dust. Should I just do it from the fan toward the vents or actually take off the back cover?

If that doesn't work, then it's time for thermal grease. Does it void the warranty?

The answer is "likely."

If there's nothing in the way (nothing that would leave evidence of tampering), then it wouldn't void your warranty.

 

I only asked because my DV9700T doesn't run hot. And i've come across a lot of people who don't ever blow out the vents on their notebooks (though I should have known better to ask that on this forum. ).

Example:

ACPI 43c

CPU
Core 0 27c
Core 1 27c

GPU (8600m GS) 48c

HDD 37c

These are at idle temps. With a rosewill 17inch cooling pad. (I always use a cooling pad with all of my notebooks).

 

Your temperatures are good dkwhite.

 

I am about to get a dv6000t .. hopefully my temps are good
on my IBM T42 old .. my temps in windows idle are like 40c and full are like 61c

 

I've already applied AS5 to my ThinkPad; I actually love this computer more than my HP... which I plan applying AS5 to as well.

 

Cleaned out the fan and heatsinks with compressed air, looks like it was that after all. Thanks for the help! Now the cores are 64-65C (undervolted at 1.0625V) under load, though the GPU and HDD are 56 and 53C at idle.

 

my dv6000 gets hot on the palm rest while plugged in

 

Thats your HD creating the palm rest heat.

 

I had it turned on with the battery on just on AC Power.. boy did that thing get hot when it was on full load

 

THAT IS DANGEROUSLY HIGH! If all else fails, contact tech support which will result in another failure... i joke i joke

 

So this dv6000t suffers from heat!
cpu usage 0% .. fan doesnt even turn on.. and its super silent

palm rest wow HOT.. the whole laptop HOT !!!

so I have to run BOINC(Cruncher) so it can use 100% cpu usage , fan turns on max.. and laptop starts cooling down

even with my AC on.. room temp 62-80F

 

have you updated your BIOS?

 

how do i update it ?

 

F.29 seems to be the latest according to the HP website.

Here's the link: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...&cc=us&lang=en&os=2093&product=3224055&dlc=en

 

Yes I did thanks, but my BIOS was already updated.
I contacted their Tech Support and everything.
My hard-drive still rises up too much even hotter than my cpu at idle temps.

runs as hot as 40-55c HD, gpu runs 40-50c, cpu runs 30-50c

 

Try installing F.16
