Intel 975X Chip Heat Problem !

I've recently noticed that one of the fans in my system had started to periodically run very fast (causing excessive noise) even when the system was not under load. I thought it was the PSU fan but OCZ have advised that the PSU fan will only speed-up under high loads so I have been looking else where in my system for the cause of the problem. This morning the fan again was running very fast (I still don't know which one it is) and so I took the side panel off of the PC case. I noticed that the heatsink for the Intel 975X chip was extremely hot and I couldn't leave my finger on it for more than a few seconds. The system was at idle with no load. Is this normal and, if not, why is the chip getting so hot ?
Thankyou for any helpful advice.

You may check that the heatsink is making good contact with the chip and apply good thermal paste in the process, but I cannot find any relation between the hot heatsink and the high spin of the psu fan, because it only may happens when the psu is under heavy load, and your system was idle.

Can i change out my intel 4 chip set for a better video card on my HP G71 448cl laptop

I want to play a new video game and this card wont support it. What are my options.

Hi,
Sorry to say but as your Intel Graphics Chip is integrated into the Motherboard it is not an upgradeable component.

Macbook Pro Core Duo, Normal heat problems???

Hi guys. I have a First Generation Macbook Pro, i bought it like 8 months ago from ebay. The guy that sold me this mac told me that it doesn't have any heat problems at all, but im just, im sorry, i can't say the same right now.
Since i receive, when it turns on, It's ALWAYS 45 (Centigrees), ok, even if i don't start any app, it heats up to 50-55. Well. Then, when im doing normal stuff (Like, You know, using Adium, Firefox, just web browsing and hearing some music with itunes) it heats up to 60-65... The worst come when i use photoshop and Dreamweaver. Gets to 68 to 78, and then i must start using 3rd party Apps for control the Fans of the computer (im using SmcFanControl) moving the fans to 4000 rpm... But the problem get's when im trying to play Starcrat or use any other app that runs with rosseta, Easy can get to 90...
The Macbook Pro never shut down because a heat problem, but im just worried about it, this is normal?, here is the normal Specs of my computer.
Model Name: MacBook Pro 15"
Model Identifier: MacBookPro1,1
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 2 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Other problem i have, is that the Battery of the macbook pro, when i unplug the power cable it just turn off, without any advice that my battery is getting out of power. Is this normal? The battery have been changed before, like a year ago (again, from the words of my ebay seller)...
There's anything can i do?. I have applecare and i still have coverage until March 2009.

The temperature ranges you report are "normal" and nothing to be concerned about.
Battery: Reset the SMC (System Management Controller) and re-calibrate the Battery every couple of months.

Intel Graphics chip question

I've got a MBP with the i7 Processor. 15" model. I also got the upgraded 1680x1050 screen too.
Just tonight, when I turned on my machine it powered up normally, flashed the desktop and then went to a fuzzy/snowy screen. Kinda like snow on an old television set that's not getting a signal but with no movement or flickering. I get the pointer but that's it.
When I restart the machine connected to an external monitor via mini display port, all's fine. When I unplug the external screen it goes back to the same screen issue.
When I restart with external monitor, then turn off the auto graphics switching option in the energy saver system preference panel, all's fine, I can unplug the monitor and use my MBP screen. I can use it with the built in nVidia chip, but not the intel. Any one else have troubles with this?
I just updated the system with the latest software update which had a graphics thing in it, but that did not solve the problem. It seems that my intel graphics chip is dead. Any help or guidance is much appreciated.

It is a new Macbook Pro 15" i7. I did a complete reinstall and unfortunately my Time Machine Back up does not have before I installed Air Display. Still does it. Even with the new update.
Also reinstalled Air Display just to try and uninstall it - no luck
Also tried PRAM reset it stays on a blue screen after start up (Apple with spinning wheel).
Still works with Nvida but the moment I switch to Dynamic it goes to that screen. I did a reinstall with out my applications from Time Machine...Intel works. Of course I have to rebuild everything.

Practical solution for the Heat problem?

Dear fellow Mac users,
I got my MacBook last friday. Yes, it's very Hot (temperature). I realised that you guys must be facing the same problem. I love this computer. But the heat is too much, i can't put it on my lap to work, when i travel...
Even typing on the keyboard for a long time in the library, i feel the heat coming out from the keyboard! so fustrating..
Are they any practical solution on how to reduce the heat? I dont want to dismantle the machine.
Thank you very much!
moses

Thanks for the recommendation of the pad. I guess it
will deplete the battery life quicker.
I am wonder, the heat problem, is it a APPLE's fault?
No, as Guitaristguy313 stated, the heat problem exist in most (or all?) Core Duo laptops, whether they are Apple branded or Sony branded or Dell branded. The MacBook is not running warmer than another Core Duo based laptop.
So it's apparently the normal operating temperature of Core Duo laptops.
That's not too surprising considering that Intel document its Core Duo to be in normal operating temperature if the cores of the CPU don't run higher than 100°C, and 100°C is a very high temperature.
Hopefully MacBooks Core Duo's cores generally don't run higher than 85°C, but while within specs according to Intel, it's still very high so it's not surprising that the notebook shell temperature is high also (according to a test on a website, the shell can reach 50°C when the Macbook is used intensively).
So if you really want to have a culprit for the high temperature of the Macbook (and in fact also other Core Duo notebooks), it would be Intel.

Dv6-3123tx - is facing over heating problem?

Hi All,
I am planning to buy another LPTP
my main requriment is : intel i5 , 4 GB RAM , atlist 2.66GHZ cpu , 15" monitor.
So that I have chk hp following model : dv6-3123tx its cost is Rs.50,000/- INR
I have chked some review of (dv6-3123tx) and some post is saying it is having over heating problem and hp is stoped to supply it in to the market.
can any one will me guide me in this case. or pls suggest some model.
I m from India
my budget is up to Rs. 50,000/- INR = $ 1050/- USD
niranjan

i have bought the dv6-3123tx about 2 months back and i wouldnot recommend it to anyone too.
All i do i browse and sometime not even that. Leaving it on the table switched on make its go hot, so hot that you cant even type on the keyboard. And the sound the fan makes is annoying.
The touchpad is also one big disadvantage. it makes a sound each time you click. So you cannot work unless you have a mouse. Right now its so heated up that i can barely type (mostly on the left hand side of the laptop.
Also i was checking for remedies when I relaised that this laptop 3123 is not even listed in the HP products list:
http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pagetype=s-001&h_lang=en&h_cc=in&h_product=4247579&h_client=s-s...
If you perform a search with this name, you wouldnot get any results. I guess i better take it to the store immediately before it burns my hand, else i would have to use it as an omlette maker.

Does NVidia GeForce 8800GT have a heat problem?

I have an older heavy-duty Mac Pro running with 8-core Intel 3.2Ghz Xeon processors and 18GBytes RAM, using an NVidia GeForce 8800GT display controller driving a 30' Apple Cinema display. After the Mac Pro has been on for half a day the white semitranslucent bars start to appear and gradually the screen goes to nearly all white if I leave it on long enough. In about an hour after I turn it off, the display is fine.
What component is the likely cause of this behavior? I do not hear any fan noise. Should I?
I have seen other reports of heat problems with temperatures and fan speeds mentioned. How do I find this out for the Mac Pro? MacOS verion is 10.6.3.

Less than 80ºC (load) is desired, but up to 85ºC may be seen. A good cooler would keep the processor down in the mid 60's to mid 70's under load.
Prolonged temps at and above the mid 90's will reduce component life.
Certainly temps over 100ºC would be terminal in the long run.
One would hope to see the card run between 50ºC at idle and no higher than the mid 80's under load.
Lower load temps (mid 70's) are better.......
The 8800 GT is getting old. Any card approaching or exceeding 5 years of use should have the thermal compound replaced.
All fan equipped graphics cards need to be kept clean and dust free. A dust clogged heat exchanger is almost as bad as no cooler at all.

Ideapad Y510 Heat problem

Hi, i am having a heat problem on my ideapad Y510, i have had it for about two years now. The specs are Intel core 2Duo 2.2Ghz2GB RamNvidia GeForce 8400M GS I have upgraded to Windows 7, recently the laptop has been getting very hot when using it to run demanding processes, so hot that i cant place it on my lap or rest my left hand on it (the entire left part of the computer gets hot) or i will get burnt after a few minutes. I would like to know what i can do to avoid this. Any help will be appreciated, thanks

First thing, check for dust build up by cpu heatsink,and clean it out. Unplugged, and with battery out, remove the Large panel on the bottomto check. Also be sure fan is working.

Heating problem, solution?

Hi, having just purchased a new Macbook Pro and looking around the forums I've noticed the heating problem that they seem to have. I'm running around 70c at some points. Whilst I can deal with this, and know most machines run warmer I was wondering if anyone had any experience with software designed to increase fan speed and thus cool the machine.
The reason I ask is because I found this and I'm not sure if I'm safe to use it, or if it even works.
http://homepage.mac.com/holtmann/eidac/software/smcfancontrol2/index.html
Any advice would be welcome, though I'm probably being overly paranoid over my new machine.

Lewis, I'm not sure exactly what you are talking about or where you got your information about the "heating" issue. The new (Penryn) MacBook Pros actually run considerably COOLER, not hotter. Not only is this indicated by Apple and represented in many posts in this Forum, but also I know from experience as I had an older MBP (Intel Core Duo 2.16) and now have a new MBP 2.6 Penryn. My new MBP is much, much, MUCH COOLER! Indeed the new MBP rarely even gets warm to the touch even running several apps.

Notebook heating problem

When I bought my HP ENVY 15 j040el, it was cool, and the fans went high only when I was working on programmes such as Photoshop or GoogleEarth, which are graphiscs intensive. But now the fan works very often even without PS or GE and hot air keeps blowing out from the vents. The keyboard around the spacebar and above get heated.Any way to solve the heating problem? Laptop model: HP ENVY 15 j040elCountry: ItalyOS: Windows 8.1 (64-bit)Processor: Intel core i7-4700MQ, 2.40gHzVideo cards: Intel HD graphics 4600; Nvidia GeForce GT 740MRAM: 12gbHDD: 1tbWarranty/Guarantee: expired Sept. 2014.

Thanks Elena_t for your response. Following your link, I took a little time to prepare myself and go through the various EUFI diagnostics. My Envy 15 j040el passed all the tests. A month back I also updated several software and drivers (including BIOS) through the HP support assistant. There seems to be no issue regarding drivers etc... as they are all up to date. The guide you recommended says average heat should be around 35°C, but CPUID HWMonitor shows my average temperature with light internet navigation and wordprocessing at around 60°C. This is without Photoshop, Google Earth and absolutely no games, in which case the fan roars into action. Regarding cleaning the internal vents of the fan, is there a YouTube or video tutorial on how to go about it on my model of Envy 15? I tried to remove the HD drive pulling up the rubber casing of the drive but it does not come off. How does one enter the fan area to clean out the dust and particles from inside? Removing the cover of the HD, wifi card and memory modules area is easy, but I couldn't go further. Do I need to go beyond this area and into to the fan area? Please help!

Posible p4n diamond heat problem and other beep question

Hi was using my p4n diamond for about 2h 30min and it all of a sudden just cuts out with no warning.
im unsure if its heat related thought the constant 55C is not as good temp as i should probably have but it stays stable there.
Also when i recently installed msi core it said i was very close to the voltages it had in the display just to hope to rule out power problems.
i have the cases 120mm exaust fan in the back an 80mm input fan in thefront and then the cpu fan that came with my pentium d 830 .
if its heat related should i get another 80mm fan as an exaust or an 80 mm input fan. i have one more spot on the door of the case.
----other beep question--
I was also wondering about the beeps on my computer. when i first was working with this pcc i had no beeps but then when working i had one beep before os then two after os and usb case plugs and floppy , 3 when i put on a printer and then back to one and then no beeps.
are these my beeps going down related to my heat or is this mother board short lived . one beeps soposed to mean that its loading properly
thanks

regarding your question about target temperature. my board isn't exactly the same as yours, but it's close.
you are right that you can lower the target temp and it will tend to cool the cpu because the fan runs faster at a lower temperature. the way i set up mine was to DISABLE the target temp and that gives the fan full voltage at all temps. that way, the fan rpm will bottom out at 2250rpm (instead of 1100rpm up to the target temp) or so even at lower temps.
also keep in mind that your cpu temp in the bios disply should be a few degrees HIGHER than the temp in "idle windows".
the intel data sheet for the pentium D 8xx series says that the max temp is 69C. so your cpu shouldnt have a problem at 55C.
i ran a prime95 primality test for about 17 hours at 60C to test stability (while using the computer for my normal foreground tasks) and didn't have a problem. i'm NOT recommending this. but i wanted you to know that this cpu doesn't have a problem with temps in the 60C range. and that msi motherboard will stand up to rough treatment.
also, in my humble opinion, i would NEVER run those msi windows utilities. they may be causing you a problem with stability. i use speedfan from almico to monitor temps and i have it set up to generate sound and visual warnings at certain temps. the F1 docs are good. if it were my system, i would go so far as to reinstall windows and format the C: to get rid of core center. i wouldn't even trust the uninstall unless you're good enough to surgically remove it manually.
also make sure you turn off EIST in the bios. it wont impact your temps significantly. that nvidia nforce sli intel edition has a problem with 14x multiplier and pentiumD. and EIST bumps you down to 14x occaisionally.

Intel SSD 530 startup problems on ThinkPad W520 - Bug in SSD or lack of BIOS support?

The are problems with Intel SSD 530 and ThinkPad W520. Many people, including me, are complaining about startup problems ... see this thread also: https://communities.intel.com/thread/44258
One month ago I bought an Intel SSD 530 240GB to replace the stock HDD of my ThinkPad W520 (4270CTO). When I cold-start the laptop everything is fine, but when I restart it from Windows 7 or even CTRL-ALT-DEL, the drive is not found. Both SSD and W520 has the latest firmware/BIOS.
I had no problems with Intel SSD 335 240GB; Windows starts and restart without problem, but with the Intel 530 it fails when I do restart, the BIOS does not find it after a normal reset. I think BIOS implementation for W520 does not support the newer ATA feature called "Device Initiated Power Management (DIPM) for Software Setting Preservation (SSP)". There is a BIOS update for W530 but not for W520.
Should I assume Intel SSD 530 is and will remain incompatible with ThinkPad W520 or wait for a BIOS update?
W520 | i7-2720QM | NV Quadro 2000M

I am also seeing the exact same issue. I have a ThinkPad W520 and a Corsair Force GS using a Sandforce 2200 series controller. According to the Intel SSD thread, there is some incompatibility between that controller and Intel QM77-chips which is causing the issue.
The symptoms for my laptop are the same. SSD is always recognized on cold boot, but effectively never on warm boot / restart. Will we get a BIOS update that fixes this?
I have dual boot configuration with both windows 8 and windows 7. The issue is happening regardless of what OS I issue the restart from.

BOSD, Battery issues and Heating problem after iOS 8 upgrade

i have upgraded my iPad mini to iOS 8. Ever since I upgraded to iOS 8 am facing blue screen issues and heating problem as well. This is really frustrating even the patch iOS 8.0.2 dint solve the problem. Are you guys listening our complaints. When will you fixing it.

The same thing happened to me on my 2012 Subaru Outback. I'm not sure this will help you since you have a Honda, but I'm posting this just in case.
I paired the audio on my car with my iPhone 6. However, when I turned the car off and back on again, the iPhone would not pair automatically. I had to manually connect the iPhone with the car. Turns out there are two separate bluetooth pairings on my car: one for phone which allows up to 5 devices and one for audio which allows only one device. So I did the second bluetooth pairing for the phone (had already done the audio), and that fixed it. YMMV

Heating problem and battery backup

Recently I bought a macbook pro (7 days). I am facing heating problem and its battery backup is also not good, 3-4 hrs, but company claims 7 hrs. What should I do?

For more on laptop temperature, look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1778
Take note of this part:
While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead,contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Intel 975x and E6600 overclocking?

I've attempted overclocking but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.
E6600. 1GB RAM.
I've got my FSB @ 300 and set FSB & RAM at a 1:1 ratio. The RAM is now running at 533mhz as opposed to 667mhz.
My mobo is an Intel 975x and the RAM is DDR2 5300.
The only reason I'm asking is because I'm with stock cooling at 2.71Ghz and the test usually fails around 30 seconds with Orthos. So I'm stuck, Windows seems stable.
Anything you can guys can suggest?
Cheers.

Oh, in that case I think it's:
2x512MB Memory Speed 667 PC5400 timings manually set to 5,5,5,15
EDIT: Are the voltages and speeds I'm using safe? The memory voltage option at '2.0' was yellow so I was just wondering, I'm quite skeptical.
I've been running Orthos for about 20 minutes now and it seems to be running fine, of course it's not conclusive but the results are better than before.
I'm also wondering, If I were to upgrade my RAM what would be the best option for my setup? Like what timings and what speed RAM should I be looking for? Can I fit any speed DDR2 into this board?
EDIT2: Running Orthos, the cores are at 56C-55C respectively, is that an ok temperature?
