E6400 overheating throttling

OK had something really interesting happen this morning. Was at home and I have a thermal heat pad with a single fan on it I use, mainly because it has a USB hub in it, and it sits the laptop up a good 20cms off my desk and with 1 USB plug I hook in all the bits hanging in the hub, mouse, keyboard, etc etc.

So I turned it on, and went and made a coffee, and when I came back the fan was sitting on high, I had not even logged on yet? So I logged on and checked the temps, yeah the fan was on high cpu was 32oC, and chipset was 57oC, GPU 45oC, memory 50oC.

This is with A18, but this was off the dock, and without even logging on and the fan was set to high........? So really the only similarities between this type of behavior on the dock is the USB keyboard and mouse hanging off the external USB hub and the power supply.

I wonder how the USB devices on the edock work, whether they are part of a USB hub built into the edock, or whether the laptop recognizes the edock as part of the actual system when it is connected.

 

Can you please post the T11 BIOS? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

 

Did anyone tried Flash 10.1 Beta to see if trotting is reduced or eliminated when watching Flash videos, such as YouTube.

 

Short sum up:



I'm now also facing throttling with the T11 Bios. Even if temps are relatively low.

So the trottling problem is definetly not fixed.

I'm using Flash player 10 but not the new Beta 10.1.

 

How do you get a hold of the 10.1 beta? I might give it a go!

 

I was able to download it here http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

I did need to uninstall the previous versions of flash player first.
Also please update yr video drivers to the latest versions

 

I tried, I failed!

I'm on Win7 64bit

I let the Intel software discover the latest video driver.
Installed it, didn't help - youtube still turns my computer to a blower.

It messed up secondary display - if I connected a video projector over VGA I could only see a white picture with some crumbles in the corner. It was really unpleasant cause the rollback option was not there and I discovered the problem at a meeting. I had to uninstall the new drivers. Then I got an error message trying to install latest intel video drivers from dell (even after 2 restarts).

What saved me was driver update that got me working drivers via Windows Update and managed to successfully install them.

So my advice - If you try new video drivers and the laptop display is OK, also test if the VGA output works!

 

Not sure if intel has the right drivers out as yet for flash.
i've got the nvidia video card, and that works pretty well with flash 10.1

 

To be able to use GPU rendering feature of Flash 10.1, you need the latest beta drivers for your GPU, found here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
(Select any Geforce Mobile driver, they are all the same (the Quadro NVS 160M is in them... as in reality this Quadro is a Geforce 9400M but has dedicated memory instead of using your RAM)
If you select the any Mobile Geforce version, the setup will work without problems.

 

I've got the latest drivers GoodBytes. My post was in reference to Draqula.
He's got the intel video card, which apparently doesn't yet support flash rendering.
