T7300, T7500 and T7700 temps topic (more accurate)

Hi,

If your a moderator plz dont close this topic because there already is one about this subject. I am aware of that. I found that topic was a little messy, and people couldnt really compare their temps. So i thought id make a new topic with instructions on how to test your temp, and what details to post.

Here goes, download a temp watcher program like Everest Home in this program you can check temps under "computer" and then "sensor" it is the CPU value obviously. Now you need a program to stress your processor. I alsways use the program Orthos.

How to proceed, start up your laptop, and dont open anything but everest, close as many background programs as possible, like steam, messengers, etc. Check and write down your idle temp.

Now launch orthos with it. Put em next to eachother, from the dropdown menu select small FFTs - stress CPU. Press start, youll see your CPU temp going up pretty soon now. Let orthos run for 10 minutes, and write down the stressed temp after 10 minutes.

If you post your temps, include the following information:

I am very interested in your temperatures, and i think together we can compare what causes temps do differ, and maybe how to get lower temps. I wont post mine yet, because the assembling company forgot the remove my plastic foil from the heat sink that cools the CPU. Now I removed it, but the coolant paste is F-ed up, and after 10 minutes orthos i get a CPU temp of 85 degrees. New Coolant paste will solve this i hope. Will post results tomorrow aswell!

Thanks for your cooperation!

Graphics card: Nvidia 8400m

Time owned: 3 Months
Idle Temperature: 42c
Stressed Temperature: 70c
If you ever changed thermal paste, and what new type you applied: Stock Paste


For Intel CPUs CoreTemp is far more accurate

 

thanks ill try that aswell.

 

Snuurtje, when you are talking about your temperatures, are you talking about Celsius or Fahrenheit? Also, to help lower your temperature you can undervolt your CPU. If you're not familiar with undervolting, it is the process of lowering the voltage your CPU uses at full load. By undervolting your CPU you can lower your temperatures by anywhere from 7-15 degrees Celsius. I undervolted my T7700 and after I get home today I will post the procedures and also post the programs to use and my findings. You can also search around the forum for undervolting and will be able to find more information on it as well.

 

thanks id like that my proc is still getting to hot after applying new paste.

 

What kind of CPU goo did you use? If it wasn't Arctic Silver I definitely recommend getting that next time, it is really worth the money.

I also need to know what kind of processor you have and the OS that is installed in your system.

 

Final results, not happy with them:

Laptop type: Clevo M570RU

Time owned: 1 week
Idle Temperature: 35 degrees
Stressed Temperature: 80 degrees
If you ever changed thermal paste, and what new type you applied: New Paste is zalman thermal grease ZM-STG1
OS: Windows XP home

About the grease, this review shows performance is about the same for both greases.
What would you recommend envision?

 

I would also include the room temperature. That can be the biggest factor for my temps.

 

Rig in my sig.

right around 50c idle
near 80c after a hour of gaming
room temp around 70f
passive cooling via x board

 

I recommend that you post the ambient room temperature too, see if that is a factor. It is hard to compare temperatures of air-cooled systems without knowing that.

Time owned: 1 week
Idle Temperature: 38 c
Stressed Temperature: 75 c
Arctic Silver paste never changed
and i have a ZALMAN Ultra Quiet Notebook Cooler Model ZM-NC1000 Black

sorry don't know the room temp, don't have anything to check it with
but outside temp is around 62 and in the room i have the air on so i would say
a little below that

 

i recommend posting the OEM you bought it from too, see if theres a difference in thermal pastes etc...

 

i bought mine from XoticPC

 

Updated the suggestions, sry for late reply, i was off due personal thingy's

Laptop type: Clevo M57RU

Idle Temperature: 36c
Stressed Temperature: 75c ( :-( )
Room / ambient temp: 20c
If you ever changed thermal paste, and what new type you applied: Changed to zalman thermal grease scores same in reviews as AS5. Also removed the thermal pad between CPU and heatsink, witch did reduce temps with 2 degrees c.

Guys, are these stressed temperatures normal? Should I be worried?

 

You can Undervolt the CPU to get a cool one and better battery life,
I consider Undervolting the best tweak possible for a laptop.

Details in the link in my sig.

 

ok, thanks a lot.

 

Sure,no problem. Any more questions, just post them in that thread.

 

will do. thanks. very interesting guide

 

acer aspire 5720 i only can say to everyone...
t7300
2 gb ram 667 mhz

idle temp 10c and 11c for the two cores. even after long stressing does not go above 30c.room temp around 22c. tested with many different softwares as seemed to be unbelievible. lol

 

yeah and op system is vista home premium sp1,
graphics x3100
the processor is a t7300 2.0ghz , 800 mhz fsb
nothing has been changed in the laptop, no paste changing no nothing at all, apart from a bit of memory upgrade from the factory 1 gb.
i think all this overheating problem comes from ur graphic cards...
at the end of the day laptops r not designed for gaming...
u can get one for that but it will cost u a couple of thousand and u will have no problems..
solution: choose the RIGHT laptop for what u want to use it for.

 

I would suggest updating your bios as those temperatures ARE NOT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE.

Your computer parts cannot be cooler than room temperature without active cooling (eg. phase change). It is simply not possible.

Your bios is misreporting the temperatures.
