Are these temperatures normal?

I have a HP 8510w notebook and the other day while gaming my system started to act a little weird. After about 30 minutes of playing the screen started showing some blue artifacts and the fps dropped dramatically. I immediately exited the game and checked the temps, of course they were pretty high. So I ran Orthos and HW monitor to check the temps. This is what I got:



Here are my specs
Vista x64
T7500
Quadro 570m (195.62 driver)
4GB of Ram
120 GB 7200RPM

 

Some of the thermal zones are ridiculously high. Are any of those sensors stuck, or are they slowly coming down as time passes?

 

Yea, I was surprised by those temps too. They come down after a while but I have no idea why they get that high. What do they sense anyways? Do any of the other temps look too high? I'm really worried about the cpu and video card.

 

I wonder what TZ5 is... it's rediculously hot. With the 8510's, I believe they have a dual fan design, correct? If this is the case, is the CPU fan even spinning? Because the GPU seems to be getting proper ventilation.

 

Hmm:

10 characters for cool.

 

Download a program called CoreTemp. Use that to see what the processor temperatures are.
It seems odd that the peak temperature is exactly 100C or 212F.
88C at max is still on the high side.
You will want to undervolt the processor in order to shave a few degrees off of running temperature. Undervolting does not decrease processing power in any way. You can use CPU Rightmark to undervolt. Flipfire made a guide here

You should also look and see what programs if any are running in the background using up cpu cycles. The less processor activity, the cooler the processor will run.

I have taken mine apart and it looks exactly like this http://www.insidemylaptop.com/disassemble-hp-compaq-8510p-8510w-notebook-pc/

It looks like it just has one fan but it's connected to the heatsinks of the video card and the cpu. I hear it running especially when its on high. I'm probably going to end up adding some artic silver but I'm hesitant since I'm still under warranty.

I was planning to send it in because my fingerprint scanner is broken. Would they cover the charges of repairing it or would I have to pay some?

Thanks for the advice. I have undervolted and the temps for the processor croes are now 84c for core 0 and 80 for core 1. This was all after running orthos for 7 minutes.

 

Is this TZ5 still running as hot as it was?

 

After 10 minutes of running Orthos the temperature of TZ5 went down dramatically to 75C, hopefully it will stay like this. Would anyone know how I am covered by HP's warranty? Would I have to pay anything to send it in to get the heat problem and fingerprint scanner repaired? Thanks

 

Did you miss my link that suggests that TZ5 might be the fan speed?

 

I was thinking the same thing, but didn't say anything... It was almost like you never made that post! lol!

 

Lol wow how did I miss that? Thanks for the info. Do the other temps seem to be ok or no?

 

As mentioned, your CPU temps were a bit high, but you have already undervolted your CPU.

If you want to stress your GPU, you can try download and run Furmark as that seems more related to any graphical artifacts. Run Furmark in 640x480 and xtreme burning mode. Definitely do not allow the temperature to rise more than 100C.

Alternately, game with HWMonitor running in the background and check the max GPU temperature after gaming for maybe 15-30 mins.

Also note that the QUADRO FX 570M may be a part of the range of 8xxx nvidia gpu's that have been known for higher than usual failure rates due to temperature/heatcycling.

 

Yes, I'd say as well that the artifacts are related to GPU and it's temps. So check how namaiki said.

 

Thanks guys! I'll do that and get back to y'all
