dv8000 help

ok so i bought this dv8000 off ebay it ran fine but i wanted to clean it all up inside so i dissembled it. when i got to the heatsink i took it off and noticed all this dust cleaned it out and removed the thermal pad for the GPU and replaced it with thermal grease i also replaced the thermal grease for the cpu. after doing this i put it back together it runs but the cpu idles at 48-50°c my dv6500t's t5250 idles at 35°c. so im mainly asking does anyone here have a dv8000 or a t2300 cpu and know how much its suspoed to idle at i dont want to take this thing apart again enless im sure i need too also the gpu a nvidia 7400 go idles at 40°c about the same as before

 

ok i tested it at 100% cpu power and it gets to about 60°c the way i got it to reach this hot was by clicking internet explorer alot ( about 24 times ) on my dv6500t i did the same thing ( only about 40 times ) and it reached i belive around 55°c not sure though the computer lagged so far behind i couldnt even click on it i had to restart

 

What were the temps before you cleaned it out?

50 to 60 isn't all that bad for a laptop processor; even my fairly recent D830 runs from 40 to 60. If it isn't crashing or anything under heavy load, there's really no reason to worry; laptop chips usually have a bit higher thermal envelope due to restrictively small cooling solutions.

You should also stress it with Super Pi or wPrime, not by clicking IE a hojillion times. That won't be a consistent load and not indicative of your "real" load temps.

 

good point with the super pi idea lol i forgot about that program also i didnt really look before hand on the processer side i only looked at the graphics card its really a pain in the ass to use the laptop right now because it has no screen in it

 

ok i ran super pi calculated to 2 million digits 1m 28s the cpu hit around 60-61°c i also noticed that when running on high preformance mode it idles at 55°c and the fan is running im pretty sure i need to redissasembly it but im just going to put in a new t5500 and a 7600 go at that point

 

Prime95 would be a better stress test as longer than a minute or two, will better indicate if you might have thermal issues.

 

oh i ran it to 32 million digits after that it stayed about consiant 61°c and just to check to make sure if could keep stable there i put a paper clip in its fan and let it heat up to about 90°c then pulled it out it cooled back down to 61°

 

also i forgot to mention this laptop is a pain in the ass to use also because some how windows got scrambled so its constantly coming up with messeges saying something has stopped working and such ( possibly because i pull the battery out to shut it down as do all my laptops lol ) its running vista btw it ran better then the xp it came with

 

What! You put a paper clip to stop the fan? You are insane! You create problems for what purpose? I am lost on what you are asking now.

 

i was asking if the tempreature is normal for the cpu and the laptop its a t2300 core duo cpu in a dv8230us ( dv8000t ) the paper clip was make it hot and see if i could cool down to the old temprature or if i would cool down to a hotter one

 

And I say back, with a paper clip? I don't know where to start.

 

I'm going to agree with Powerpack here; intentionally overheating your laptop is a really dumb thing to do. I already mentioned before; as long as your laptop isn't crashing or doing anything weird, it's not overheating. The temps are normal.

Some laptops naturally run hotter than others due to small variables all over the manufacturing process; that's why laptop chips are usually built with high heat tolerances. Get over it.

 

no oh my god lol the paper clip was ment to overheat the laptop i just wanted it to get hotter to make then to see if i could handle cooling back downt o 60°c again to make sure that it actualy wasent slowly over heating i basically would have speed up that process in that case the problem im seeing is im pretty sure it is running hotter because it idles with the fan on which my other hp laptop dosent do and this laptop didnt do before all i origonaly wanted to know was what other people with dv8000t's or t2300 core duo's average on heat

 

I have a dv-8000. with an amd turion ml-37 , at idle it's 45 C full load it's 88 C
