NP8130 temperatures

I had this laptop for about 6~7 months now.

I have GTX 560m and i7 2670QM with 8 GB ram 500 GB HDD but when i play dota 2 i get like about 70 celcius in the CPUID hardware monitor.

is that normal?

 

That's really, really good.

 

Yep. Anything below 90C under load is good. (With the exception of stress tests like furmark and other benchmarking)

Mr. Mysterious

 

totally fine. ur CPU has a Tjmax of 100C, so ure way deep in the green zone

 

as said they are fine. when it does start rising then cleaning out fans with compressed air normally helps.

 

Adding to what MrDJ has stated, be sure to remove the bottom panel and clean the fans and heatsinks thoroughly. You should be able to remove the fans with no problems if necessary to get all of the dust bunnies out.

That is, only when you start noticing temps rising. That or get in the habit of blow the dust out of it once a month or once every couple of months.

 

I have a GTX 460M GPU, and during stress test by FurMark, the temperature is around 95-96 celsius (water is boiling...). Is that normal? With no stress test it is about 70-75 degree.

Shall I reapply the thermal paste?

 

Wow, you revived a necro thread. And no, you're fine with those temps. FurMark is BUILT to overheat GPUs.

 

70-75c is still high for general use.
while just idle or brousing is this the temps you are getting? if yes it needs a good clean out with compressed air or the thermal paste changed as idle should be 50-55c

 

How are you temps for regular gaming, not Furmark or idle.

Cleaning it out as MrDJ suggested is also a good idea.

 

Furmark puts unrealistic stress on the hardware. 95 C - 96 C is high, but fairly common when using that tool to bench the computer. 70s C on idle is excessive, though. Blow out the fans and heat sinks, and if you are comfortable with reapplying the thermal paste, do so (be sure to use a high quality compound).

 

Thanks guys.

After I cleaned up the CPU and GPU fans and vents, and re-applied new thermal paste (mine is Thermalright Chill Factor 3), idle temperature for CPU and GPU are both around 45-55, which is now so much better.

Stress test the CPU with prime95 burns the chip up to 90 degree though.

Furmark on the GPU after cleaning takes the temperature to about 92, where throttling starts to occur and the temperature is controlled around that level.

So I would say cleaning and new thermal paste helps for temperature at idling, while stress test will still push the temperature to be around 90 (at which point I stop the test as I'm afraid the chips burn out )

Cheers.

 

Sounds like much better temps then you had before. Happy to hear it didnt require more then a cleaning and thermal paste. The Burn-in programs are doing what they are designed to and pumping up those temps high. Just make sure to monitor them while using it under a regular load like gaming. If you temps still look good then it sounds like you are all set.

 

Great job! That's a fairly good compound, too. You can probably bring the higher temps down (under load) by 1 - 4 C with a different TIM. Overall those reports look much better. :thumbsup:

 

I used to swear by Furmark, but there are some major issues with it. As far as I know, Nvidia is throttling back their cards when the driver detects Furmark running. This info is about a year old, about the time I stopped using it.

And I also realized that real gaming never stresses your video card to such an extent. You have high and low usage areas in games, and temps fluctuate. A few seconds spent in a menu, or indoor game area is enough to bring temps down quite significantly.

Case in point, I tested my new to me NP8150 with an i7 2720 amd gtx485, This card is among the hottest installed in a laptop, and I never saw more than 80 oC while playing Skyrim. I don't know what Furmark would do, but I'm sure it would go much higher. However it is not relevand to me since at rhe moment I am replaying Skyrim, not Furmark.

 

Furmark is best used when overclocking a system and you want to test for the temps and stability. If your settings can be handled in Furmark then you'll have plenty of safety while actual gaming.

 

The prevailing wisdom, for quite awhile, has been that running a game (especially for gamer's testing purposes) is the best benchmark. Furmark's intention is as Hutsady described; it's a true stress test, and it isn't quite ideal for testing for common problems.

 

Like the others have said, you're fine. My NP8130 runs at 45-49C when just doing basic stuff on Windows 8 and then 65-81C when playing games.
