E6400 overheating throttling

Mine is just fine actually. The original system was indeed a lemon, it was replaced and the new one is just perfect (it came with a stuck pixel, Dell replaced the screen ).

 

So, you have it docked and there are no heat/throttling issues?

 

Yes, that's right.

 

Lucky you.

One external or two?

 

Well technically I use my E6400 everyday docked with 2 20" lcd monitors attached and dont have an throttling issues until I load up the system with crazy numbers of applications running, but my fan sits on high all day long. Add the fact that there are 5 more E6400's in the office, all using docks with 2 monitors, it makes for noise that we shouldnt have to listen to.

I still hit throttling every now and again, but only when I try to do a lot of stuff all at once. During the span of a normal day, just using Outlook, MS Office, web browsers I dont get hit too hard by throttling.

 

This might be related, but why on earth does the fan come on full while streaming on Netflix (using silverlight?)

 

Just one. My fan typically is off, except if I load the system.

 

Thank you very much,

my fan is still working, but not at full speed, I can only hear it, when it's really quite in my office.

About the throttling issue: Have to test a bit more...

 

Does this not worry you?

With my fan running virtually all day for about 8 months, the hardware began degrading b/c the unit couldnt effectively cool the internal components.

 

Hi,
I've recently purchased a latitude 6400 and installed windows7 Ultimate.
2.4 GHz P8600, 4GB, 250HDD, Nvidia Quadro 160m

I see a lot of heating issues with the system and so do i feel in my system too. For that reason i've installed Everest ultimate.

Now the problem is that i dont know much about this software and i am unsure as to how to read it properly. Some issues:

• 
  which temp for cpu to look at
  which reading is my GPU temp
  why does it always show CPU Clock : 798; CPU Fsb: 133
  and for GPU what should i look for

please explain as i am not much aware of all this.

Thanks
