How Cold is your laptop ?

Q9200
8gb ram
7200rpm hdd
ati 4850

Temps watching tv on the net

Hdd 30C
Cpu 28C
ATI 38 C



is your laptop Colder than my ?

 

my temps are alomost double yours lol

Q9000 = 49c-53c Idol - 65c-70c full load

Ati 4850 1GB = 58c-61c Idol - 70c-85c Full load

7200RPM 320gb = around 30c

 

so why dont you build some custom cooling ?

 

got any tips?

i tried sticking one of those laptop coolers (3 fans by usb) under it and with the bottom lid off. if anything it made it hotter

how did you do yours?
ile give it ago

 

i actually posted pics of my laptop here :

http://forum.notebookreview.com/msi/610720-advent-7555-nvidia-quadro-fx-3800m-2.html

it has changed a bit since, i actually painted everything and waiting for carbon vinyl so at the end he laptop will look really cool


to cool my laptop i have made custom heatsink and added few other things

 

Generally, yes cooler is better but be careful not to get too cold. I forget where the link was but there was a study where hard drives operating at sub 30s were at greater risk of failure than those over 45 during operation. Don't know if the numbers i just quoted in particular are accurate but it was something in that range.

 

spec for my hdd

ENVIRONMENT
Ambient Temperature
Operating 5 to 55 degrees C
Nonoperating -40 above 70 degrees C
Maximum operating temperature change 20 degrees C per hour



basically best hdd temp is around 20 to 30C

if hdd temp is constantly above 50C, hdd will slowly die

 

i7 2630QM, 8 GB RAM, nVIDIA 555m, SSD

Idle temps at about 22 C room:
CPU: 43 C
GPU: usually off, but ~36 C when used for Flash videos and stuff

Gaming
CPU: 70-80 C
GPU: 60-70 C

 

GT628: Q9200+GTX260m

Idle:
cpu: 45-46*C
gpu: 46-47*C

Browsing:
cpu: 50-51*C
gpu: 52-55*C

Gaming:
cpu:~90*C
gpu: 89*C

Gaming with bottom off and Cooler:
cpu: 72-75*C
gpu: 71-73*C

 

I'm thinking you should play a game while taking the temp readings. Watching tv on the net will not heat up your core components like gaming does.

 

well not only game but i can load the cpu and gpu to 100% doing benchmark and none of temps will go over 60C even if i leave it for whole night.

you can not kill my laptop believe me i did a lot of tests

even when i overclock the cpu to 2.9ghz and load it at 100% it wont go over 60C

 

It's really cool:

 

Why not check out the IC Diamond thread? Good info there on laptop temps.

 

That thread in the gateway section? Huh.

My laptop GPU was about 40-50 idle and 90+ load. But I think its because the fan isn't responding to the GPU fancontrol, only CPU.
But that wont stop me from installing a different fan and extra heatpipe with some copper on the radiator, even if cutting the yellow wire would have fixed it

 

No in the hardware section.
