hp dv4, dv5, dv7 information about hd temperatures

hi, i have a problem, i have a dv4-1155se, and the hd get hot, yesterday i dont do nothing expecial, only open an msn or a firefox, and about 3 hours latter the hd had a temperature about 55°C, i think, its not normal, please i need information about users who has hp dv4, dv5, or dv7 series, please, if the users can put theirs values about Hd temperatures i apresiate to much, my hd notebook its a toshiba

 

I have a Toshiba HD on my DV7 and the temperature sits at 36°C idle...

 

thanks for the information, and when you use the notebook, do you know the temperature? i think my hd its broken, its not normal if you have the notebook 3 hours in idle mode and i have 55°c, right?

 

Well i have the DV5 with the 320gb WD HDD and my highest temp that i have reached is only the 49C mark. At the moment i have firefox and media player running and my HDD is currently sitting at 35C.

 

how many hours have been use the notebook?

its a good temperature

 

Well i have left it on overnight (about 12 hours) and still at around 35C. It might be good to let you know that i am also using a notebook cooler but without the cooler my HDD idles around 38C so not much difference.

 

thanks for the information,
i have a toshiba hd, maybe this is the problem, or is it broken?

 

FWIW, HP's 14" models were known to have hotter than normal running HDD's. I have seen people complain about high temps w.r.t the HDD couple of years ago as well.

 

really? but the hd its the same and the place where it be its the same

 

Yeah but it cant be compared to the dv5 or the dv7 since they have completely different cooling systems. As far yours does it stay constant at 55C all the time. have you seen it after a cold boot? Maybe the program you are using to monitor the temps is not reading the temps accurately.

 

i allways use the same software and check ok,
miner:
can you tell me about your hd temperature?

i know the coling systems are diferents but the hd its on a diferent pleace than the processor

 

My HDD right now is 30C, isn't that too low?

 

Guess it depends on which machine you have... different models have different cooling systems... if I start playing games, the entire machine will heat up, so the HD will also run slightly hotter...

 

but really i dont know, i think my hd its broken or something, never in my life i´ve seen an hd work at 55hd,
please if somebody has a hp dv4 notebook, can post the temperatures

 

Dv5t, 46 degrees Celsius with HWmonitor. Ambient temp approx 28 degrees. HDD western digital.

 

its a good temperature, i think with a lower ambient temperature, your hd works cooler
grantman:
do you use for many hours for have this temperature?

 

Laptop has been on for a couple of hours. I've just done another check and it's at 47 degrees now so quite consistent.

 

After about 30min of heavy gaming my hdd temp went up to 54 degrees C

 

really i dont know, but i think this is not normal, really, all my notebooks what i have the hd always works ok bettwen 35 and 41, not more, i had a pavilion dv6645us and the temperature works bettwen 35 and 41, not more, and the same with a dell xps 1530, i think its a problem of hard disks

 

After a stint of intense gaming the dv5t is roasting so it makes sense that the hdd temp goes up a bit. I don't think it's anything to get alarmed about. 54 deg C seems pretty inconsequential not that I know much about hdd temps. My laptop is functioning as it was designed so nothing to worry about I reckon.

 

i understand the 54c because you have an intense gaming time, but i cant understand 54C only on idle mode or surf on internet, thats terrible
last week, only in idle mode i have 54C

 

I'm using HWMonitor, and it does not show my hd temp. However, I am concerned about the temps it does show (THRM? and processor).

My dv5 used to run at an average of 80C, and saw temps as high as 95C while streaming video. I sent it in for repairs and the temps have since dropped, but still seem high (Currently 50C, high of 86C while streaming video). Should I send it back for repair- again??

 

95ºC?
its to much, i think this is not normal
for example, if you check the performance about dell xps 1330
its 13", smaller than hp dv4
and the hd works ok,
xps 1330 has higher temperature than dv4,

 

Right now I have uTor running, set to space out HDD writes (5MB or something) and I'm not downloading very fast.
I'm running FF with like 8 tabs, and Vista 64.
I have a DV4-1220US with a AMD Turion 2.1 proc.
Nothing else should be using the HDD, and I have 4 gigs of ram to use.
Right now it says the HDD is at 53c, with the CPU underclocked to 75% max, that also is at 60.

The fans are all unblocked (laptop is on my right leg and the whole left side is exposed to air and friggin hot. The right side is ice cold.)

Yesterday when I was doing nothing else but streaming video from mtv.com, the HDD was somewhere over 60 (I didnt pay attention)--because the CPU was at a high of 108 degrees. EVEN when the video was paused, and the pc was otherwise idle for 30 minutes.
I flipped it upsidedown, propped the lid open with something small, and set it on the floor and after 20 mins the temps were still over 80celsius somehow.

I just don't understand how it gets so hot.

I made a new power profile with the CPU @ 75% which helps with temps a ton, the power saver setting is impossible to use with vista atleast (it puts the cpu to like 1 GHz)

I don't know why a dual core CPU, with hyperthreading, running at 1GHz, is barely able to run firefox with 4 gigs of ram in vista. That's like 4 cores.
