Core i7 HP Pavilion DV6 6011tx heats up-to 57C when idle and rises up-to 90C when on load!

Hi... I have an HP Pavilion DV6 6011tx laptop.. (with a core i7 cpu and 6GB ram).. When im using the laptop for browing, the temperatures rise upto 55 to 60 C! (Even with a cooling pad)... Yesterday, i tried to render a video with adobe premier... Then, temperatures rose upto 98C! But the laptop kept working....
Yesterday when i asked the HP support, they said that the normal temperature of a laptop should be between 30 to 40C... They asked me to contact a technician... The technicians at the shop where i bought this machine told me that 50 to 60C is normal!
Now i just want to know who is correct? Am i in a danger? Does my laptop have a heating problem? Or is it normal?

You have not specified if it is the CPU or GPU that these temperatures are reported for. In either case 98C is way too high for CPU or GPU. The machine may work ok but the heat stress may significantly reduce the life of your computer. What mode have you set HP Coolsense to? I would recommend 'Performance' to keep those temps down. If its your CPU thats heating up drastically then try unistalling programs that you don't need. If that does not help, you can type 'config.sys' in the Windows command prompt and make sure no unecessary processes are running by disabling them from running on startup. Please note that disabling important Windows services can crash your computer so only do this if you are familiar with the Windows environment. If its the GPU that heating then you can check the ATI graphics driver setting to make sure it is running in balanced mode as opposed to performance mode. My HP Dv6-3015tx was very tame that the temps for CPU were between 50-65C and GPU never exceeded 65C with a cooling pad. I would say those are good temperatures for a laptop. I was interested in picking up the DV6-6000 series as a replacement but changed my mind because the central cooling fan did not have a direct air intake at the bottom. With my old DV6-3015 I just placed the machine so that one of the cooling fans in the cooling pad was blowing right into the laptops cooling fan air intake located on the upper right side of the machine directly feeding air into the machines cooling system. This reduced the machines temps by 10C under stress so I could game on for hours without breaking a sweat. After looking at the new DV6-6000 series I changed my mind about getting it because there is no direct inlet to boost the built in cooling system. Thereby you are at the mercy of HP's coolsense. Hope this helps.

My HP Pavilion dv6-2153ee recovery is not working when i choose it from boot menu selection

my HP Pavilion dv6-2153ee recovery is not working when i choose it from boot menu selection . it's run but then the windows run without running recovery. help me please?

Hello Tajamal,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the webcam isn't working since upgrading to Windows 8.1. I would have to suggest returning to Windows 8 since there are no 8.1 drivers, as indicated here: HP Pavilion dv6-7043cl Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Have a wonderful day!

Pavilion dv6 has a lighted volume on/off icon and a lighted internet on/off icon that stopped workin

I have a pavilion dv6 that has a lighted volume on/off and scale and a lighted internet on/off icon above the keyboard that stopped working. Does anyone know how to get it to work again?

Answered my own question on the power supply, now I will answer the questions on the battery, and the lower right hand corner having those ghost shadows, and what they actually are. To answer the battery question, I simply went, and custom made one using the current top of the line AMD 3550MX APU, and it comes with the standard 6 cell battery so that question is answered. On to the next.
The ghosty white shadows some owners see on this model, and on others in the Pavilion line, are simply the HP logo light shining through the screen. Some like the light, some don't. I happen to like it, but as others have asked, I wish there was a way to turn it off, and on. Ok, 3 of my questions answered by own ingenuity, lol, I think I'll start a thread specific to this model as many owners are out there as this model too, has been sold out by Best Buy, and seems to be a lone child in that there is very little, correct, info on this model. We need to band together, and answer all the questions that remain on the dv6-6b47dx model.

Pavilion dv6-7010us black screen, caps lock blinking indefinitely and orange wifi light

The laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6-7010us resently installed windows 8.1 pro, 8gb ddr3 (4gbx2), 320gb hdd (not the original hdd)
i was giving a normal maintenance to the laptop to remove the dust, nothing of the other world, the machine where functioning pretty well 'till this moment, i turn on the laptop and i see the caps lock blinking at 1sec intervals and the wifi light in orange not blinking just led on when i turn on (NOT NUM LOCK LIGHT ON), and this is it, nothing more, i dont know what to do, i use the WINDOWS KEY + B to reset the BIOS and nothing, i leave the power botton hold for a minute without the battery nor the power source, and plug the cable and turn on again without the battery and nothing, also where testing changing the memory from slots i have 2 memories of 4gb and nothing, anybody can tell me any combination of keys to resolve this that i don't use yet?

What did the normal maintenance include-any disassembly? I assume the laptop is still under warranty?

How do i clean the air vents on my hp pavilion dv6 notebook pc?

Latelly, the fan on my HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC has been noiser than usual and it appears that my notebook becomes quite warm to the touch. The HP Support Assistant running on my notebook PC recommended that I can reduce the heat and fan noise by cleaning the air vents. How do I do this? Can I do this myself or do I have to have a professional do it?

Hi Rosie,
You can clean the vents on your notebook.
Buy a can of compressed air. Essentially, you need to gently blow out the vents with the compressed air to clear out the dirt and dust. You need a can with a small straw like attachment for the nozzle so you can point it directly toward the vents.
Do take a look at this document first so you know which way to point the air and how to avoid damaging the fan inside the notebook.

HP Pavilion dv6-6c54nr Entertainment Notebook PC

Hello,
Recently my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6-6c54nr Entertainment Notebook PC ) had a problem and I needed to set it to it's fabric settings. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and the computer drivers listed in the page of this product. The computer has 4 speakers, but there's not sound coming from the frontal speakers. What can I do? Thanks.

Hi Krosado14,
I understand you are having an issue with the 4 speakers after doing a factory reset on your computer.
If you follow this page to the driver downloads and click on Audio.
Download (both) and install, it should resolve your issue.

Unable to control one-touch Audio and Wifi Icons on - HP Pavilion DV6-1235ee

Hello All,
For a week or so, I am not able to enable/disable my Audio (even volume control) or Wifi buttons using the one-touch button (on the the same panel of power switch) in my HP Pavilion DV6-1235ee laptop. I restarted few times and re-installed the chipset driver and input driver guessing it might help, to no result.
I've not done anything strange in the computer but installed few application related to my job. And I am not used to regularly shutting down or rebooting my computer but keep it locked.
My OS: Windows 7 Professional X64
Please Help

Hi,
It's always worth trying a Hard Reset as follows.
Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and see start the notebook.

My laptop is HP Pavilion DV6 1319TX (2 yrs old),it is getting heated up and getting strucked up.

My laptop is HP Pavilion DV6 1319TX (2 yrs old),it is getting heated up and getting stucked up.can any one help ...
O.S. Installed :Windows 7 vista
No upgradtion of software or no upgradation of BIOS or no upgradation of hardware elements since i bought .

After 2-3 years laptops may need to have the cooling fan and heatsink area cleaned out and have new cooling paste applied on the processor. I just did this on my own laptop which will be 3 years old in September. It is a fairly advanced procedure. We can provide material that will tell you how to do it, but more likely you need to find a local computer shop to perform the task. Expect to pay $50-100.

Hp pavilion dv6-2170ee overheating !!!

the hp pavilion dv6-2170ee laptop is overheating (Excess heat) !!!!
why ??!!!

Try this:
Hello,
I decided to sacrifice 1 percent (just) of performance for the sake of cool temperatures and silent fan. I have HP DV6, with AMD Turion RM-74 and HD4650.
So, Yes, You will loose up to 1 percent Your CPU power, but heyh, this processor is so fast that You will barelly notice the change. You will still watch HD content with 720p and everything else smoothly. Note, that gaming will be harder part but consider Your laptop not as a device created for heavy gaming.
However,
I rarely do play NBA 2K10 on my laptop. It is very cpu demanding. After I've done the above, my CPU temp never reached beyond 71 percent while gaming, GPU - 75 percent.
Without the above mentioned my CPU went over 100 and GPU over 90.
No more overheating.
So, how to reduce Your notebook temps:
(i) Power Options -> More power options,
(ii) Balanced plan -> Change settings,
(iii) Change advanced power settings
(iv) Processor power management -> Maximum processor state -> On Battery - 50 percent, Plugged in - 99 percent.
(vi) Save changes and close.
Now, mine temperatures are - idle 48, heavy load - 57, extremelly heavy load (HD 720p content) - 62-63. (At the moment my CPU cores are at 47 celsius).
And please note, that the notebooks coolers are just a joke and designed not to cool your laptops, but to take away your money. Their effieciency is minimum: -1/2 celcius.
Best regards.

HP Pavilion dv6 (70-28TX) Air from vent EXTREMELY HOT

Hi! I recently Purchased a new HP Pavilion DV6 70-28TX Entertainment PC. However, I have noticed that after a few hours of gaming (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim), The air coming from the left side vent of the Notebook is EXTREMELY HOT. I have made sure that the Notebook is getting optimal air-flow (Using flat desk surface, not obstructing vents, etc) I was just wondering if this is normal for this Notebook? This is the only problem I have had with this PC since Purchase on Christmas Day. (Infact I have been thoroughly satisfied with it apart from this)
- Additional Info -
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium (x64 Bit)
CPU/Proccessor: intel Core i5 2450M @ 2.50 GHz (System Default)
RAM: 4.00GB DDR 3
GPU/Graphics Card: nVidia GeForce GT 630M 2GB (Primary) + intel HD Graphics 3000
- RealTemp heat readings -
Before Playing Skyrim: GPU: High 30's to Low 40's (C) CPU: High 40's to Low 50's (C)
After a few hours of playing Skyrim: GPU: 60 (C) CPU: 70 - 75 (C)
If anyone else has this issue, Please attempt to notifiy someone that may be able to help.
Thanks in Advance,
Mitch

If it is only happening when you are playing Skyrim or similar games, it is pretty normal. While notebooks have improved in their hardware, unless they are specifically designed for gaming, they are going to generate a lot of heat. Playing a game like that makes your computer work harder than anything else you are probably throwing at it. You might try turning the graphic settings down in the game and that might help a little bit.
Here is a document on why and what causes notebooks to generate heat: http://goo.gl/WZTN8
