Please help, CPU gets insanely hot when under load.

It's an HP tx1330la with a Turion X2 TL-58 at stock speeds.

It gets over 80C when under load, is there any way to fix this?

Thanks in advance, help is immensly appreciated.

 

clean your vents. other than that, i'd start looking at other laptops. my similar processor pooped on me, and then hp did. intel processors are much cooler and more powerful.

 

That's probably normal for that cpu. I have a T7250 65nm and it gets up to the low 70's.

If it's that the heat is noticable on the outside of the laptop then look into re-applying the thermal paste, buying a notebook cooler and cleaning dust out of your laptop as all of these should reduce the heat build-up somewhat.

Also, read my guide for ways to reduce notebook temps.

 

unfortunately 80c is not insanely hot for that CPU... HOT? yes,, insane?? no...

under heavy loads AMDs do run hotter than Intel,, and it may be INSANE for AMD to produce such a HOT CPU... i guess they have to sell what they can make...

My TL-52 gets those same temps so I think not much you can do. That is 176F and the CPU goes up to 203F so while not pleasant not immediately threatening the CPU not the best recipe for longevity. I am not talking weeks or months but years. That undervolting does sound like a good tactic to control temps. What CPU intensive task is causing these temps? Do you have power now set up? Performance on demand helps me keep temps under control overall. Not when stressing though do get up to 180F.

 

Thanks everyone for the help.

I'll do read the guides for reducing temperature and undervolting.

I was stressing with the SMP Folding client.

 

i would say 80C is normal, lot of new systems pass 80C when fully loaded.

 

Isn't that model in need of a BIOS update to revamp the fan algorithms? HP released F.3D for the dv6000 series and some other similar model. Check HP's driver section for your model.

 

If I remember correctly a mTurion TL-56 (similar to your modell but with only 1.8 instead of 1.9GHz) is safe up until 97C. As mentioned above AMD chips seem to have higher temperatures than their Intel counterparts.

But in general the mentioned ideas (especially undervolting) can only help you to safe energy (battery) and prolong the life of your CPU and other components because less heat is always better for a closed system.

 

I think your systems are pretty f-ed up if they run at 80C. The manufacturers clearly did not design a good heatsink for your notebooks. A big heatsink makes all of the difference. My 2lb heatsink with 5 0.375" heatpipes and its 134 cooling fins keep my 125watt cpu running under 60C under full load for days. Usually the temps are around 38-42C. And mine is not undervolted. Opterons do not undervolt at all.

cmdrcool, you should try undervolting your processor with cpu rightmark or notebook hardware control. That will help keep your cpu running cooler.
Also clean your fans out and if possible, use fan control software to force the fans up to full speed at times.

I dont understand how some laptops have cooling abilities of 38-42.. the coolest i gotten it was like 38 with my Central air conditioning + undervolting. Normal operation is like 55-58 and max load is like 70 ... am i missing something here ?

 

different notebooks have different cooling systems. bigger the fan/heatsink the better.

 

K-TRON, you can't say his the system is pretty f-ed up, I'm not sure about the AMD Turion, but most of the the Meroms these days can reach 7X-8Xc at full load without undervolting. And a lot of notebooks cannot fit such a big heat sink like your Voodoo ENVY U709, not to mention his HP TX1330 is a 12" laptop. lol you're scaring desir3.

 

I really cannot understand how manufacturers will purposely set the fans to kick in after like 75C has been reached. Yeah it keeps the laptop a tad more silent, but does that really matter that much. I wouldnt sacrifice my laptop for noise. If you want the temperatures to go down, hardwire the fan to a power source which has the same voltage as the fan is rated for, usually 5volts.
Whenever I buy a laptop, I make sure that it has fan control. This is more important to me than any kind of specs. Keeping the system running cool, is the reason I can get 10 yrs of use ot of my systems or more. I am not going to let my precious 10k laptop heat up. I dont want to have to replace any parts due to failure, and heat related problems are basically 50% of all laptop problems not related to dropping.

i agree. my precious only cost 1,200 though. i made a homemade notebook cooler.

 

Well mine a year and a half ago cost me $800 with dual core. I guess at that price I will take a little heat.
