high temperatures!!!

i think my laptop is running on high temperatures....
or is this a normal temps for a laptop??

am attaching the temps shown by HWmonitor

 

Thats a bit too high !!

Are you stressing the system (under-load ?)

(Aahh !! HP --> That explains it )

Try other programs to cross-check temps. RMClock (CPU; Undervolt); RivaTuner (GPU; not sure); HD Tune (HDD).

 

those are very high temps. For your gpu, try increasing the fan speed with rivatuner. mine only went at 25% at first and i got temps in the 90's as well. at 100 i get 76 to 80 under high load. and anythnig up to 85 is safe.

for your cpu, i honestly don't know what you can do.

 

those are some dangerous temps there.

- make sure you are NOT using it on soft surfaces (laps, beds, couch, etc..).... anything that would block the bottom of the notebook, which prevent the fans to pull air in to cool down the parts

- make sure that you have been cleaning out the vents (if possible, fans) with compressed air every month.

visit the NBR Cooling Central... it will tell you how to lower your temps.

 

You are correct you are running way hot! What are you doing when you get these? You should not be getting this hot even if stress testing.

Intel max temp is 100C you passed. WD HDD is 55C maybe 60C not sure but you passed. GPU's don't know but you passed safe.

 

cpu cooling gel or fun?
also don't max the performance of CPU
it is directly proportional to heat generated.

 

i was just browsing and doin usual stuff like checking my mails...and when i launches the HWmonitor these are the results.;(

 

Your whole notebook is about to catch on fire..

Check if your fan is working first, then check if its dusty.

 

At those temps, chances are that the fan is not working; take a look.

Things you can do:

- clean out the inside of the notebook with compressed air and a vacuum cleaner

- undervolt the CPU

- make sure the CPU isn't being overworked by any malware
- maintain Vista (up-to-date drivers, disk defrag, startup programs, etc); for more see the Vista Tweak Guide.

- apply Arctic Silver 5 Thermal compound

 

how can i check the fan is running normal or not?

 

To check if the fan is running at all, visual inspection is the way. Lift up the computer while it is running and check the fan vent. On most laptops, the fan can be seen. The fan also makes a distinct noise.

 

I think undervolting and arctic silver are very good temperature control measures. I do not think mention at this point is a good idea. I find it treats the symptom not the problem. Until problem is resolved not a good idea to mask the problem with those methods.

To OP how did this present?
Suddenly? Fan failure, malware. Feel if fan is blowing (hot) air. Is CPU activity very high when idle?

Came on slowly? Check for accumulated dust in notebook and at vents and on heat sink.

My gut is fan failure. The reason is three components are very hot. Leads me to think thermal solution failure. I mean if malware was stressing CPU the cooling solution should prevent the two other components from getting that hot? If you were playing a video game I might feel differently about GPU temp but you said you are not.

Your system will have a very short life unless you resolve this and fast.

 

Better check TaskMgr for processes using up the CPU and memory....
Also the fan should be on at about 3800-4200RPM at those temps, which is fairly loud. So, you should be able to hear the fan whirring....

 

ya i can hear the fan running....
but dont know on how much RPM its running...

 

Can you check your power profile to make sure it isn't set to Performance or something? I know this wouldn't be the cause for 100C temps, but it may be contributing... fact is, assuming its fan is running as it should, a laptop should be able to run under maximum stress while keeping temps in check. Can you try using another program to check your temps, such as CoreTemp for the CPU?

 

How hot/warm is the air comming out of the exhaust?

 

i can say too hot...

 

i am attaching the temps as of now

 

Check your model doesnt fall under this HP recall:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...7277&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN

The defective models had meltdown issues.

 

that was of great info...i will check if mine is eligible for free repair...

cheers...

 

i installed SP1,and temps reduced drastically am attaching them.
can any one comment on this??

 

You have your answers... As I have said before... More CPU and GPU (especially) Utilization, the more heat will be generated...

Since SP1 fixed MOST of the problems in Vista, it drastically lowers and optimize everything.

I had this problems in my previous Pentium 4 HT Inspiron laptop. Back then, Windows Vista is still in Beta 1 and 2. When I turn on Aero, the Fan switch to high-speed (SUPER HIGH)... When I'm running more applications it does too...

Therefore, it is proportional to the programs you are using.

 

If you're still worried about your temps, invest in a laptop cooler.

 

Still not as low as should be C2D min temp of 130F is high. I have AMD Turion which run hotter and I run cooler than that without undervoltiong.

Is your speed step working?

 

how can i determine that speed step is working or not?

 

Download CPU-z. It'll tell you the speed that your CPU is running at. Speedstep lowers the frequency of your CPU, so when you read it, your CPU should be running at <2000MHz. If you do something CPU intensive, then the speed should ramp back up to 2000MHz.

 

when i am watching the core speeds its going over 200MHz sometimes....is any thing wrong?

 

Core 2 Duo has a technology that when one core is being used more than the other, will ramp up the speed a bit higher on that core temporarily.

edit: I think it was 'Intel Dynamic Acceleration Technology'.

 

sorry i mean over 2000MHz
