Beefier Fan For My Latitude?

Hello all,

My latitude specs is on my sig. I have been having problems with over heating gpu, and it seems like replacing of the heatsink, motherboard, thermal pad (had other issues that caused the replacing) does NOT fix the problem at all.

It idles at 60, and goes up to 80-85c when watching youtube. When running Furmark, goes to 90c+ within 15 seconds, so I refused to run it for a longer time.

Is there a way I can swap in with a fan that runs higher? I know I used to have a M4500 that significantly had faster fan than the other M4500. Seems like two different fans were used. Can I just swap it in with something that performs better? If so, what is the compatibility I should look for?

Thank in advance. I am just frustrated right now..

 

No you shouldn't try to mod a different fan it, a Precision fan, if it would even fit likely has a higher amperage, you could short the fan/motherboard.

Have you considered replacing the fan yourself...isn't too expensive nor hard.

 

Your CPU temps are definitely quite high, but I'm not really surprised with the GPU temps... I definitely saw GPU load temps of 90C+ on my original Nvidia E6400. Your heatsink might not be level on your CPU or something.

 

Tsunade: I didn't know about the shortage situation. You know with desktop fans if the connector fits, it works.. (unless with high end ones you have to use molex connectors for more power). I can replace the fan. I am trying to see if a different fan would work without any power problems. Like I said, I think there is Precision fan I can use that run faster, but I was wondering if it power compatible. But with precision, there was no power problem. I used the slower and faster fan for one precision before. Is higher amperage thing a real problem? I had this in mind from E6410:

The bearing part is "larger" circle which I am 99% means it is faster. (Situation with my old Precision fans) I can see from ebay fans that there certainly faster and slower fans for E6410. I couldn't find different ones from E6400.

Commander: CPU temps are actually not bad. Those are gpu temperature. I just had the heat sink and fan replaced and another thermal pad for gpu replaced!

Thanks again to all.

 

I think Tsunade thinks you're going to try to replace it with something really intense. As far as laptop fans go, I think anything of similar physical size should have power consumption within the limits of the board, and anything with the same pinout should work. That being said, for the same reason(s), I don't think you are going to get substantially different performance out of any fan that'll fit.

 

I actually "remember" having the memory that the beefier fan did kind of help with the Precision M4500 air pulling. That is why I mentioned.

I only do office work on this machine, but if it starts really overheating I might grab that fan. I am considering to get a cheap quad core as well just for office performance down the road. So that $5 could be a good investment. I will post on the owner's thread if I actually see at least 5c+ degree difference.

 

What BIOS version are you running? Might be worth a try to upgrade to the latest A32.

 

The lastest A32. i have done all troubleshooting. You get the idea.
