Fan speed on Qosmio G30

My laptop is Qosmio G30-126.
How can I know fan speed?
I've tried some soft with hw sensor monitor & fan speed but it's not show any think about speed fan just CPU temperature?
Where is the problem and what can I do?

hi vip78,
if no 3rd party software can detect the fan speed due to "unknown chipset" there are two options or some more...
- ask your software manufacturer to implement the used chipset, takes long if it will happen
- test other software like mb5 maybe this one can detect this value
generally said: if a software cant detect the value of the fan speed
- either the is the chipset not implemented in your preferred software
- or the value isnt readable cause there is no interface that gives any values to read
it's only important that the bios gives the os some informations about the "heat"-status....
pls go to powersaver options, sure you will get no info bout fan speed, but who cares if your system is working properly!
check mb5, make sure you got the latest version!
good luck

Qosmio G30 - fan was whirring and struggling

Yesterday when I got home I started up my Qosmio G30 and I think the fan was whirring and struggling to be honest, although I've only come to realise that afrer doing some reading this morning. Anyway I used the PC for about an hour and then left it running with 1 application running whilst I went out.
Upon returning a few hours later, the laptop hadn't shut it self down, but there were two generic boxes that had popped up stating to shut the laptop down and return it for a service.
By the sounds of it the fan had stopped working altogether and the computer was deadly quiet. I restarted it, and again the fan wasn't working at all and although the laptop loaded into windows, I immediately shut it down again.
I'm worried that the laptop hasn't shut itself down when the fan has failed, and if it hasn't done this, has any damage likely to have been caused, even though it did load back into windows?

Hi,
mine as doing the same thing because ram mermory was broken.
Just to remove 1 of ur 2 ram module and check if the problem is resolved. If yes ,just to buy a new RAM module like a KINGSTON,just the best....other jobber module is not reliable!

Qosmio F50-126 - Fan Speed never htting maximum

Hey
This issue been bothering me for a long time but was too lazy to post on it. When I boot up my notebook, you can hear the fan speed hitting its maximum RPM. But during gaming when the laptop is about to reach its maximum temperature to restart, the fan speed never hits its maxium RPM. It always seems to be about 50 percent when it about to hit the overheat threshold.
Can you tell me how to fix this issue so the notebook does us its fan maximum RPM during gaming or some other cpu/gpu intensive process?
I have all the lastest BIOS and drivers installed to date.

Hi
The fan speed is controlled by fan table which is stored in the BIOS.
Usually the fan speed would be set to a higher level only if an certain temperature level has been reached.
Furthermore the notebook would shut down automatically if the temperature level would be too high
If the unit runs stable, I would not be worried about the fan performance.

Qosmio G30 freezes upon Norton Internet Security 2008 startup

Norton Internet Security 2008 will freeze my computer as soon it tries to load and the only way to go on is to restart the system by pressing the on/off-button.
My notebook is a Toshiba Qosmio G30-177 (Model No. PQG32E-02G022GR) with Vista Ultimate and NIS2007 pre-installed. I have no problems with this NIS2008 version on my other notebook (Qosmio F10 - PQF10E-02300JGR, WinXP MCE).
NIS2007 runs fine on my G30 and I do not have any problems at all, but newer versions of NIS seem to get in conflict with my system:
1. I am able to install and run the new version, download all updates and adjust the settings. Maybe one or two days later my computer will freeze after start exactly when the tray icon of NIS appears. For a couple of seconds there is just no response of the system at all and the LED's of my notebook show that all HD activity has stopped. After being idle for these couple of seconds, the cooling fan will start to operate at maximum power, creating a tremendous noise I never experienced before, not even while the CPU was running at 100% for some time due to other programs. Forcing a restart is all I can do.
2. Now this time, I successfully restarted my notebook again (took some attempts) and it suddenly did not freeze. Then I disabled firewall and auto-protect permanently, so there was no freezing upon startup and I just had to manually activate both firewall and auto-protect after start. In order to prevent freezing again after reboot, I always disabled NIS before shutdown. For the next one or two days this workaround was quite successful.
3. All of a sudden, after one or two days, this workaround is going to become useless, because the system starts to freeze again at the very moment the tray icon appears. In this case, restarting has no effect at all, and NIS will continue to freeze at startup. I also tried to prevent NIS form starting by no longer allowing ccApp.exe to automatically run upon start (administrative tools > system configuration > "startup" tab). This is successful and my notebook is able to start normally, but if I later try to start NIS manually, it will freeze again.
I had this problem since NIS2008 was just released, so I thought that meanwhile a Windows or Norton update might have fixed the issue, but this weekend I gave NIS2008 another try without success. I am almost sure that the problem is not caused by any other software than Windows and/or Norton, because I also tried to install NIS after a full system recovery, thus having only pre-installed NIS2007 and Vista on my notebook. I did use the Norton removal tool and followed the deinstall instructions before trying to install the newer version of course.
My last hope was that the NIS2009beta version somehow would not freeze my system, but it does. It does not matter if I try to run 2008 or 2009beta version, the problem is exactly the same.
What really drives me almost crazy is the fact that NIS runs perfectly for some time, then needs a rather small workaround, and then after some time totally refuses to work. In these couple of days I did not change any system settings, install or deinstall any programs or did anything that I felt could conflict with NIS...
So far, I have no idea of a solution and have to use NIS2007 again.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

Hi !
I use NIS since 2001 and never had any serious trouble with this software.
There could be some compatibility problem, but I don't think that Vista is causing it, because otherwise a lot more people should have the same problem. Even the installation of all current Windows, NIS and Qosmio updates did not solve it. Of course I tried to get help using Symantec's Support and their user forums, but without success. This problem seems to be a rare one (unfortunately for me). I tested the NIS2009beta and even though it's a new version, the PC freezes again when this program starts. And this made me think that maybe a service or setup by Toshiba causes the problem and other Vista users are not affected. It's a strange thing that the pre-installed NIS2007 version is running fine...
Cheers,
Mario

Qosmio G30-126 - Strange scratching noise

Hi!
I have a Qosmio G30-126 and OS Vista Ultimate. about a month ago my laptop was taken to service because it wouldn't turn on, but since last week, when I started it up there was a prolonged scratching noise on the startup, and since then whenever Im listening to music or if the laptop's on standby, there are some very weird scratching sounds coming out from the speakers. Short sounds that keep being repeated. Sometimes they stop after a few times, and other times, like last night, I had to restart.
I tried updating all available drives, but everything seemed up-to-date. I also googled the issue, but none of what I found was relative.
Can someone give me a clue as to what the issue might be? Is there something I haven't thought of that needs to be done?
Thanks a lot in advance!

That might be an option...how can i see if it is the fan though? Is there a way to do it on my own?
Is it possible that these sound issues might be because of overusage? I don't keep my laptop on 24 hrs a day, but some days it's on till the evening. But only after the service did this whole thing occur..

Update hardware and software Qosmio G30-198 for hight performance

Good morning,
I have a Qosmio G30-198.
I Have to use Autodesk Civil 3D program in the laptop.
It is a CAD program that requires a lot of ram and a high speed data transmission with the HDD's.
For this, it is absolutely necessary to update hardware and software for to use Civil with good performance.
I need to buy and install SSD HDD, install more RAM (what is the maximum allowed in this computer?) and I need to install Win 7 Professional 64 bit.
Please,
if someone can tell me how I can further improve performance of the laptop, please tell me.
I do not know what steps I have to keep.
Can you help me?
Thank you so much.

>.. what a disappointment
Why? How old is your notebook? At this time 4GB was the same when you use 8GB today.
We have mobile machines with limited upgrade possibilities.
> It is better to install hardware or soft ware? (Win 7 Proffesional)
To be honest I dont understand this question. You should upgrade RAM to the maximum level and install Win7. Im pretty sure it will work well on this old Qosmio.
If you need your notebook for some specific operations like usage of Autodesk Civil 3D program you dont even need all drivers or specific Toshiba stuff. the main thing is you have most important drivers, tools and utilities.
> I read in a post that it is necessary to change the video driver and install a diferent that the original one.
Fact is that Toshiba recommends usage of own drivers only. Toshiba offers tested and adapted drivers for usage on mobile machines. These different drivers can help notebook owner to have better graphic performance and this new driver will force graphic card to offer more power but at the same time you must understand that more performance results with more heat. Due to specific design it is very risky for notebooks.
Have you ever cleaned up your notebook? I can imagine it is pretty much dust inside.
> Do you think if I install G50 driver it will work in my G30?
Unfortunately I cannot comment this. Just be careful with this.

Qosmio G30-102 - Can I install Kingston DDR2-667 RAM insted DDR2-533 RAM?

Hi
I've got a Qosmio G30 102 and I wanted to upgrade my RAM to a total of 4GB (currently I've got 2GB installed with specifications of PC2-4300 DDR2 (533MHz)) . So I've been searching for RAM and I wanted to know would it be possible for me to install.
*Kingston Technology - 2GB PC2 5300 DDR2 667MHz 200pin Memory SODIMM*. Would this work correctly and if so would it be better than getting a (*1GB) Memory PC2-4300 DDR2 (533MHz)* i.e. the standard RAM installed on my Qosmio???
Thanks in advance for th answers
Mo

Hi!
For upgrading RAM on my notebook I have used Kingston DDR2-667 and it works without any problems! :)
So you can use this Kingston module too but I assume that it will only run on 533 MHz speed due the FSB limitation of the CPU. The FSB speed you can check with a hardware information tool like Everest or PC Wizard 2008 for example.
As far as I know the notebook can be upgraded to 4GB maximum RAM.
Bye

Qosmio G30-189 BIOS Update to support Intel Core 2 Duo ( MEROM )

Hello !
Can you tell when Toshiba will release a BIOS Update to support the new intel core 2 duo mobile cpu.
The actual BIOS 1.4 does not recognize the new cpu type.
As Toshiba delivers a core 2 duo based qosmio in USA G35-650 a bios should be availble.
For sure I now that this makes the gurantee go away.
Please help.
Greetings
Marcus Reichert

Hmm, yes sure - i work in IT and I think I repaired 5000 notebooks ... I am certainly not mad at you !
I am happy that anyone answeres me ....
So, I have here an Qosmio G30-145 and the G30-189 - they are absolutely identical.
Only the Video Ram is smaller and a different CPU is inserted.
In the US there is the G35-650 - also nearly the same - and this uses a creo 2 duo.
Be sure Toshiba will not build different units - they just change the name and include some minor changes to config ( pal and ntsc etc. )
You will be sure to see a G30 with Core 2 Duo very soon here in europe or germany and then bang - it will be the same hardware with a different bios - I BET !!!
Yes, I know the power Saving Tool and I agree with you in all points.
BUT windows XP, Linux and Vista do also habe power schemes and controll the fans - the Toshiba tolls adds only more features.
I think the actual bios accepts now the core 2 duo, but still has problems with the power scheme - Intel says the CPUs are nearly comaptible.
I have tested Core 2 Duos, Asus and other - no problem at all.
I think if we wait we get a bios which fixes all, problem is I need it know.
Have a nice weekend
Marcus

Qosmio G30-194 support the sata2?

Hi All,
I have a Qosmio G30-194 laptop.I would like to buy a Intel ssd,but for the ssd need SATA 2 support.Because just SATA 300 when the ssd works the right speed.I mean 250Mb/s read.The SATA 1 only works max.150MB/s.So my questions is my laptop support SATA2?
Thank you for help.
Kornel

Hi
As far as I know the Qosmio G30-194 HDD controller supports simple SATA (150mbps).
I dont know what specification does the SSD needs but for example the SATA2 HDDs can be used because the SATA is down compatible.
However, if the SSD needs the SATA2 (300mbps) controller then there could be an issue

Will the Core 2 Duo CPU work on the Qosmio G30?

Question is as follow:
In 2 months Intel will come up with Core 2 Duo/merom cpu for laptop.
Will then todays toshiba qosmio laptop support these processors for an upgrade ?
And wonder in general how much can be upgraded with toshiba laptop's?
Like if I want to have e-sata on this laptop. Maybe not supported by chipset ?

As you know this is a user-to-user forum and I don?t think that you will find somebody from Toshiba here.
However, this is my own opinion and this could be one of the reasons. I agree with you that duo core 2 CPU supports less power and generate less heat but more or less this are also properties of the intel duo core CPUs.
But I think that in the future the duo core 2 CPU will supports a higher speed as the duo core and I think the temp will also increases.
You know that the notebooks technology is different as the desktop technology and it's more difficult to upgrade the parts on the notebook as on the desktop pc. Some CPUs are also soldered on the board. (but I'm not sure about Qosmio) But if you will be able to remove it and to upgrade the CPU so then you could get some problems with BIOS and also software (chipset utility?). Maybe this could have a bad influence on the drivers and utilities.
As you see there are more factors as only the temperature. Everything must be compatible. I think the Qosmio G30 is a very nice notebook with really good performance. I think the CPU upgrade is not necessary because you will not get much more performance as with the core duo CPU.

Qosmio G30 - SSD drives are not recognized

I have a laptop Toshiba Qosmio G30-140 with two hard drives.
One with Windows 7 and the other with Windows XP.
The system allows to boot the 1st or the 2nd.
To speed up the system got two disks Samsung SSD 830 Series
model: MZ - 7PC256.
The BIOS (ACPI BIOS version = 3.90), do not have the option and I AHCI I adopted
the 1RAID-0.
In this option, the discs work independently.
They are working well, but the application "Samsung SSD Magician", does not recognize
no SSD.
I'm afraid you are not working in the best conditions and that could have
better yield.
Thanks to help me figure out what is not right here and can improve performance with SSD Magician.
Thanks

Hi
I dont use this Samsung SSD Magician software but some people in the net reported that there is a new version of this utility furthermore many people have problems using this software and this issue does not seems to depend on notebook but possible on the SSD drive.
As far as I know there are other tools like Driver Magician or SSD Tweaker which do the similar jobs like Samsung SSD Magician

Qosmio G30-194 What type of Vista (Home, Business or Ultimate)?

I have two Qosmio G30. One at work (G30-153) and one at home (G30-194). I use both for working and also to play movies, games, etc. At work I use a domain. Please advise me about what version of Vista is better to use. I prefer to have the same version in both places.

Hi Marius
On the Microsoft page you will find a difference between Vista Home, Business or Ultimate.
The ultimate is the highest version which includes all Vista applications. But this version cost about 550-600$
For me its a question of cost what version I will use

MSI KT3 Ultra ARU 2 fan speed controlling

Hi, i'd like to know if is it possible to control the fan speed via software with this motherboard. I've try with Speedfan, but it seems to have no effect :( .
Suggestions?

Hi,
Sorry, it's not possible.

K9n Platinum fan speed control

Hi!
I have the following configuration:
-Motherboard: MSI K9N Platinum v1.1
-Bios: AMI v1.3
-CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core)
-CPU cooler: Artic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro
-Memory: Kingmax 2*1 GB
-Video card: MSI NX7600 GT
-Power Supply: Antec NeoHE430 430W
-Hard Drive: Samsung 250 GB SP2504C
-Operating system: Win XP Pro SP2
I would like to control the speed of the CPU fan automatically, according to the temperature.
I tried
-the Dual CoreCenter utility from MSI, but it allows me only check the speed manually (If I did not miss anything)
-control from BIOS HW Monitor setting SmartFan but it does not work at all. ( Iam not sure but this can be because my cooler, it has 3 pin connector, and th MB user guide tells it works only if I use 4 pin connector. Can you confirm this?)
-Speedfan 4.31, it seemed working, but the system become instabile. I check the programmers site, and this MB did not supported.
Do you have any suggesions, experience about controlling the CPUfan?
Thank you in advance!
T.

Thank you for the answers.
Unfortunately the smartfan feature is not working in my case.( set to 3-pin in BIOS) I asked the MSI Technical Support and they said:
As this motherboard includes 4 pins connector for cpu fan, the 4th pin is used to controlled cpu fan speed, if you use 3 pins fan, fan speed will not be changed automatically and smart fan will not function.
I feel a small contradiction here
Do you have other ideas other than smartfan and speedfan?

Yoga 2 13 - Fan speed goes almost silent in tablet mode

I find that the fan generates too much noise on my Yoga 2 13 (not pro), even when the laptop is completely idle.
It seems that somehow the temperature threshold for triggering the fan is set a bit too low (same problem seen on the lenovo yoga first version)
However, I noticed that when I fold my Yoga into tablet mode the fan goes almost silent (which is awesome).
Am I the only one experiencing this issue ?
Is there maybe a way to set the fan speed in laptop, tent and stand mode at the same speed as in tablet mode ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Mat.

I was going to reccomend you use the Notebook fan control program, and I went to go find you a link for it. However, when searching for it, I discovered that the Notebook fan control program doesn't work for the yoga 2 13 although it does work for my yoga 13. It seems to be because the yoga 2 13 only has one fan while the yoga 13 has two fans. I'm not sure.
The best bet for you is to search around on forums to see if anyone has discovered a different program that works. I tried searching around but I couldn't find anything.
check at these two sites:
