Is Satellite L40 CPU too hot?

I have just bought a Satellite L40 with a intel T2370 processor and I have the feeling that its temperature is rather high.
Everest ultimate sensors show a temperature around 70C when operating.
Is this temperature normal?
Do other users have a similar temperature?
Thanks.

Hi
Your notebooks temperature is definitely not too high!
You should know some important facts;
First of all some 3rd party tools dont provide always the 100% right temperature values!
Secondly the internal temperature changes permanently.
Running some games, videos or other high performance programs would lead to higher heat dissipation and to a higher temperature level
This is a common notebook behavior so dont be worried that something is wrong with your notebook ;)
By the way; the notebook supports an overheating protection; it would shut down automatically if the temperature would be too high.
If the notebook doesnt shut down automatically, your CPU temp is ok.
Bye

  • CPU too Hot

    I am having the strangest problems with temperature. I just updated my bios and I cooled down about 5 degrees.
    In the BIOS it says 65-68 degrees.
    In speed fan Im steady at about 45 but when apps run, I heat up to 75+ degrees C.
    I have 5 total fans and A good CPU Heatsink/cooling solution (I think?) I upgraded this from the stock intel  that came with the 3.2 prescott.
    Could it be my PSU???
    ALso if I run the Tranquilty Screen saver.... http://www.driverheaven.net/saver/ The temps really soar. Beeping then shut down
    I have read posts and still can not find the trick...
    Please help

    I am having the strangest problems with temperature. I just updated my bios and I cooled down about 5 degrees.
    If youre temp goes down, is'nt that a good thing?
    My prescot is idling at +/- 50 deg. 65 deg when gaming according to the BIOS.
    I've also tried it with an Abit AI7 board, and it was the same temps.
    I have 7 fans, 2 on the side right next to the HSF.
    With the different BIOS I've tried, temps have varied from 25-50 deg idle, so
    bios can report wrong temps. Thats not such a big deal, aslong as youre system is stable, but as far as I have understod, the main issue is that the temp does'nt go up more then 10-15 deg when you put some heavy load on it.
    If I understand you right, youre temp is 45 deg when idle(wich is quite low IMO) and 75+ under load. Thats a differense like 30 deg.
    How long is it since you mounted the CPU? Maybe you should put on some new paste, do it all over again, I mean.
    Here is a link that may give you some hints:Actic Silver
    Another trick you could trye, is to measure the temp with an istrument, like Fluke.
    Just measure on the HSF as near the CPU as possible. I did that when BIOS reported a idle temp about 25 deg, and I measured somting like 42 deg. Add that with 5-10 deg, and I belive youre on the right track depending on your measure instument etc.
    Then you will know if the readings in the BIOS is right.

  • New user; CPU too hot...

    Hi y'all,
    i just installed Arch onto my Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro V2045 laptop with Pentium M processor. It was fairly easy, although i ran into few problems afterwards (bad locale, wrong /tmp permissions...). Now i've got wifi working and X running smoothly with Xfce on top of it. Yay!
    The thing that puzzles me right now is the high CPU temp and fans constantly on, even when the computer is idle. I also have Ubuntu installed and i've got no such problems back there. Is it possible that the ACPI and stuff isn't configured correctly? TIA for any advice.

    in Arch few things are configured by default. You have to do it by hand.

  • Is it normal that my macbook pro cpu runs too hot?

    I downloaded the smcfan control since my laptop was running too hot and I only bought it 3 days ago.
    It says that my temperature goes up to 90c sometimes and it is too hot to even touch!!
    I am a bit worried, I adjusted the fan settigs to higher rpm and it seems to help a lot, but why is it so the fans are not automatically adjusting when the temperature is so high? Is there something wrong with my laptop - I could still get it replaced with a new one since I just bought it..
    My specs are:
    MacBook pro 15" 2011
    i7 proccessor
    4GB or ram
    Thanks in advance!

    194º F / 90c is the typical temperature if your doing a lot of heavy CPU load.
    Check your Activity Monitor in your Utilities for any runaway processes.
    If you first boot your machine and it gets these sort of tempertures with nothing else running, you very well indeed have a problem.
    The average temperture using smcFanControl with default Apple fan speeds should be about 120º F cold boot, at idle/light load (just a simple browser window no video) CPU in a 78º F enviroment.
    Iv'e bumped my minimum fan speed to 4000 RPM, and thus my smc reported temperture is about 100ºF for those same conditions.
    If you way above these typical conditions (others report about the same) then yes I would uninstall smcFanControl and then take the machine in for a evaluation, you could have a dead fan or sensor, etc.

  • Tecra 8100 CPU gets too hot

    Well, some could remember my previous post about fan activation in my Tecra 8100.
    This notebook came to me as a gift by a customer, because screen didn't work. After a bit of research, the problem was the internal cold cathode, that was broken. Once replaced: yup! a free notebook for me!! It was a Pentium III 650 Mobile, with 64MB of RAM and a 12GB hard disk. I replaced all those componentes (that are now for sale, btw) and it now has a Pentium III 850 Mobile, 512MB of RAM and a 40GB hard disk. Some one gave me a PCMCIA 11Mbps WiFi card, and now how it is working, with Windows XP Professional and updated Toshiba utilities and drivers downloaded from Toshiba USA.
    What's the buzz? SpeedFan, Motherboard Monitor and other monitoring utilities reports temperatures of up to 72?ºC in the CPU. I opened the notebook and put thermal paste instead of the sticker the heatsink has. Temperature keeps high, and Toshiba Utilities even at "high performance cooling" settings doesn't make the fan cool the cpu...
    I have not hangs at all, but notebook case and pcmcia cards get too hot even with the system working with no apps running. Lowering the CPU clock or ratio doesn't help at all.
    I'm thinking of putting an extra fan somewhere to force air flow and that way cool the cpu, unless that...
    ...Toshiba could develop an utility that allows to directly control fan speed. I don't know if thermal management is hardware or software driven. If it's software driven, it should be easy to create a utility that access directly to fan and temperature registers. That would be MUCH better that simply let the computer decide when and how long to activate the fan.
    I'm sure that Toshiba engineers are busy with more important things that will not allow them to create the utility for us, so...
    ...what to check or do to cool down the CPU to more appropiate values?
    Thanks all!

    Hi
    Like in you previous posting described the Toshiba power saver controls the CPU and fan usage.
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=12585
    This software works great and if you use the notebook as prescribed, you shouldn't get any problems and overheating issues.
    The problem is that you have changed all devices and parts on you notebook. The new parts are efficient but produce more warmness.
    On the notebook you can cool the CPU with one little fan and if it doesn't last out, it's necessary to decrease the CPU performance.
    This is a simple fact. All these functions can be set with power saver.
    Furthermore it's very important that your cooling module is clear and no dust and debris handicap the fan working.

  • E6600 - System/CPU temperature - am I too hot ?!

    Hello there,
    Another day and another couple of questions ...
    1. I think my system may be too hot (or BIOS misreporting) ... i've had no problems with any software or crashes, it just looks too high in the BIOS (just a hunch)
    It's a E6600 Dual Core chip ... and the BIOS says
    Sys Temp: 37c/98f
    CPU Temp: 63c/145f
    Now, I have a good, large akasa case, 2x12inch fans ... it's fairly cool in the room too ... (im in the UK! - it's always cool!) ...
    There is one thing that it might be ... I had to replace my original mobo with this MSI one (for crossfire!) and I had to take out the processor/heatsink .. when I put it on the new board, I had to use fairly cheap Heat Sych paste which I got from an electronics shop ... I've heard people talking about silver and hi-quality paste ... does the quality of the paste between the chip and the heatsynch make a huge difference ? Could this be my problem ?
    Or, is it all basically OK ?
    Does anyone recommend a better/alternative temperature checker ?
    S.S.

    That's pretty hot.  Even at my OC level my CPU is usually 39C idile and never gets about 49-50C.  Although I'm sure it will run hotter, just not sure how well.

  • I can't turn the Wifi on, Satellite L40-18Z

    Hi there,
    I've been using Satellite L40-18Z but I can't turn on Wifi.
    I'm very sure that Tthe device is installed propery and I tried some ways to turn on Wifi device but never turned on. Of course, never catched the signal. Rooter has no problem either.
    Deveice manager says ithe device works propery. And the driver is correctly installed. But I can't turn on from windows mobility centre or network setting.
    It's very embarrassing to post something like this but I need your help.
    P.S. this is the first time I post on this thread but who answers? Toshiba support team?
    Thanks,

    I have the same problem. Does anyone cope with it? Have my wifi disabled can't switch it on, tried to reinstall it nothing work.
    Have it installed and work correctly thru device manager. Wifi can't be enabled and find network, all other devices are working properly. Access point have no limitation or something else in their settings.
    Windows diagnostic can't resolve this issue. Shows that "wifi is still disabled on this computer" FN+F8 doens't wotk too.
    Any help are more then wellcome.

  • Does the iMac G5 get too hot?

    Greetings to all.
    I would like to start a thread about the iMac G5 and heat. I found a few old threads, but I would like to bring that topic up again.
    I have a 1st Generation iMac G5 (purchased end November 2004). For the second time since November 2004, it was defective and the Logicboard was replaced (so my Apple Dealer told me).
    First time, in November 2005, the screen went pink. Second time, earlier this month, my Mac didn't boot anymore.
    The full amount for the repair (including shipping to Apple (Belgium), work hours, etc.) was over 500.00 euro (about 700 USD for you, Americans).
    I believe that the iMac G5 (at least: my 1st Gen one) is simply getting too warm.
    The day before, I installed "Hardware Monitor". It gave the following (average) temperatures:
    CPU: 60.6 - 63.8° Celsius (141-164° F)
    HD: 57.5° C (135.5° F)
    It is my opinion that the (my) iMac is getting too hot to be "healthy". I have 2 PC's, in which I installed extra fans (at the back and at the side). One of these, with an Athlon64 3000+ (1.8 GHz) and a 120 Gb Seagate Barracuda gives (average) temperatures for the:
    CPU: 36.5° C (97.5° F)
    HD: 26° C (78.5° F)
    My second PC, an old (modded) HP Vectra, with an Intel P4 at 1.6 GHz and a 80 Gb Seagate Barracuda, gives as average temperature (HD only):
    HD: 37° C (98° F)
    It may not be correct to compare my iMac with PC's - but harddisks are harddisks, wheather it is a Western Digital (250 HD in my Mac) or a Seagate (PC HD's), and it is only logical that a(n average) HD temperature of 57 degrees Celsius (128° F) in the long term can not be healthy, while the harddisks of my PC's are a lot, lot cooler.
    The PPC, too, gets much hotter than my Athlon CPU (and the P4 most likely too).
    Therefor: is my suspicion correct that the/my iMac G5 in general is getting too hot for its own good? Even though it may be summer here (Belgium), I still find such a difference in heat values between my iMac and my PC's not "right".
    Both the times that my iMac was defective, the Logicboard was replaced.
    Is it possible that in both cases heat is the problem (directly or indirectly) of the defects of my iMac?
    Basically we have a desktop computer constructed like a laptop, with all the hardware stuffed together in a very tight space. Why did they not keep the heat issue more in mind, when the iMac G5 was designed?
    I believe that the heat is a very negative factor in the/my iMac G5. If I will have to pay such a small fortune, every time my Mac breaks down, being a Mac owner will become quite expensive.
    iMac G5 (PPC), 17-inch, Superdrive, Mac OS X (10.4.10) 1.5 GB RAM, 250 Gb Western Digital HD
    iMac G5 (PPC), 17-inch, Superdrive, Mac OS X (10.4.10) 1.5 GB RAM, 250 Gb WesternDigital HD
    iMac G5 (PPC), 17-inch, Superdrive,   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   1.5 GB RAM, 250 Gb WesternDigital HD

    Your Mac should have been repaired under the Apple power supply or video and power issues as long as your serial numbers were covered.
    As far as normal operating temps are concerned, my Rev A is at this moment, running at CPU T-Diode 144∘and my Hard Drive is at 128∘so your temperatures seem well within normal ranges.
    Yes, the machines tend to run a bit hot, but as long as the ambient temperature is not too high, they are fine. The failures were originally cause by a bad batch of capacitors but since those have mostly been replaced, the machines are much more reliable.
    Some people train a small fan on the back of the computer to keep it cool, that may help you.

  • Lan and WLan does not work on Satellite L40-18W

    Hi all
    I have TOSHIBA Satellite L40-18W and my problem 1- wireless not work & wired lan does not work.
    I have download driver and every thing is ok but it does not work ( when i search by wireless i do not find any network. My router is working fine)
    plzz help meeeee

    Hi
    Its hard to understand what you mean by not working.
    What does this mean exactly?
    Are you not able to connect to the internet or what?
    Usually if the WLan card and the LAN card have been recognized properly in device manager then the drivers are working fine and the issue could be related to wrong router configuration or maybe to some enabled firewalls, etc
    Firstly I recommend checking the router settings. Check if the router has been configured with the right data from ISP and if all other common options have been set correctly.
    The notebook supports Realtek Wlan and LAN card.
    Check if Wlan card uses the same WLan standard like the WLan router and if right encryption has been used too.

  • Macbook pro 13" late 2011 too hot

    I've been using my macbook for about 4 years in the same way with the same applications but recently I've noticed that it reaches very easily an high temperature and, consequently the fan works very hard draining my battery.
    Analysing Istat pro I noticed that the temperature reaches 93° degree and more but looking up the processes it doesn't seem there is something wrong.
    What do you suggest me? should I try to clean up the fans?
    2 years ago I mounted the Crucial RAM update together with the 512gb ssd.
    Thank you very much

    Look at Activity Monitor set to ALL PROCESSES and CPU to display values from high to low.  Are there applications using a lot of resources?
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203184
    93°c is not too hot if the CPU/GPU are being heavily taxed.
    In what condition is your battery?  It is not unusual to have to replace a 4 year old battery.  They do not last forever.
    Open the MBP and inspect the insides.  If there is dust and debris, clean it out.
    Ciao.

  • Mac Mini too hot?

    I would like to know if these readings are considered "too hot" for a mac mini (current gen):
    HD: 42 C
    CPU : ~55 C
    Ambient: 40 C
    Temperature readings are from iStat Nano, and the current outside temperature is about 90F (unfortunately, no air conditioning or fans in the room).
    The reason I'm worried is because the mini feels very hot to the touch, and I don't even hear the fans inside running even though I'm sitting less than 3 feet away from it. The current fan speed is 1791rpm.
    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    If it makes you feel any better my unibody mini runs similarly hot, and yes, mine too is hot to the touch (but far from being so hot I need to take my hand off it). Interestingly but not surprisingly, the side that the power supply is on feels noticeably hotter than the other size.
    I think this is normal and expected as I previously compared it to the hot bottom of a MacBook Pro which makes perfect sense considering the aluminum unibody design and MacBook Pro parts inside + the internal power supply. I sometimes think the aluminum unibody design was intentional to double as a large heat sink. The ventilation where my mini rests probably doesn't provide the best air flow as it sits on a home-theatre style shelving system which is complete closed at the back with the exception of a small hole to run cables through. Actually, my generation one G4 mini in the same location would run so hot at times it would force the system to sleep (or a "coma" as I liked to say ha) to cool down.
    Maybe someone should start a thread to post their unibody temperature readings? But I think there would have to be some standardization in the sampling as my CPU can run as cool as 50C and as hot as 78C depending on the load on the system.

  • How to open the laptop (U330), my laptop is too hot

    My laptop (U330) is too hot, I think that the fan is stop working (I don't hear the noise of fan anymore)
    I want to open my laptop to check but I can not find any document or guide about that
    Please help me, thanks

    i couldn't find any guide for lenovo but i found a website. hope this help you.
    but you call call lenovo support line.
    - Remove the battery.
    - Remove all cards on the bottom (memory module, wireless card, modem card, etc.) Be careful with cables and connectors, it's very easy to damage and very time consuming to replace.
    - Remove all drives (hard drive, CD-ROM drive, DVD drive, etc.) If you cannot find the hard drive, it most likely is hidden under the keyboard or under the top cover assembly. If you cannot find securing screws for the optical drive on the bottom, they are most likely under the keyboard.
    - Remove all screws on the bottom of the laptop.
    - Remove the keyboard securing strip. Be careful, sometimes it might be very tight.
    - Remove the keyboard.
    - Remove all screws under the keyboard and disconnect all cables.
    - Remove all screws securing the display assembly. Lift the LCD screen / display off the base. 
    - Lift the top cover assembly off the base. 
    - Remove all screws securing the system board, the power board, the video board, etc. Disconnect all cables, connecting the boards.
    - Remove all boards and remove the CPU.

  • 174 degrees F too hot?

    So...I'm assuming that this is what's causing my computer to shut down. i'm using temperture monitor and it says my CPU board is 174F which is well above the upper limit of 148F. Any ideas on what I can do? My computer has been shutting down randomly and sometimes wouldn't start. At first I thought PMU so I reset that but that didn't work. then I saw that it was too hot. What can be done? Thanks!

    Hi,
    Actually, according to Apple the max limit of 95 degrees Fahrenheit! Look at the set up manual and it says it right there.. but, it seems that we have all determined Apple's notice might not be correct. My MDD right now is at 98.6 and its taxing right along and staying low. Dunno, for some reason I have been SPARED the problems of over heating. Also, is your MDD a FW800 MDD? I have heard that MDD's with the FW800 are more prone to over heating than the standard ones which boot into OS 9.2.2
    Also, make sure you are running nap mode, also get two 120MM fans like I have and a PCI slot fan.
    Even before I bought my MDD machine from a local neighbor, he never had ANY, and I mean ANY overheating problems with his machine. Although, the max temperature I have seen on mine is 130 degrees which to me is sometimes too hot, but not over the limit. Never had my machine ever gone above 135 or even to the 140 mark. I pray tell that all I am saying about my machine being SPARED the overheating problems continues to be that way.
    I do feel your pain and frustration. Just get nap mode enabled and get a couple of fans. Notice on your logic board to the FAR RIGHT near the airport and modem there should be a two-pin connector for hooking up another fan.
    My system's cooling scheme is as such: one 120MM fan underneath the front drive cage, blows out ice cold air(I feel the bottom of my machine and its ice cold). Another 120MM fan connected to the two pin connector on the logic board, and mounted on top of the roof of the optical drive chassis. A PCI slot fan next to video card.

  • Another "my temp is too hot" thread

    I've done a lot of searching (both google and here) and I believe that I'm running too hot, but since this is my first experience with OCing I want to make sure so I'm posting here.
    Anyway, I made a sig with all the info needed (I think), but I'm running at 2.3Ghz with an idle temp of about 49-51C and even with a medium amount of stress it gets up to 58C. From looking around this seems to be too hot. My guess is the thermal paste I used is crappy - no name crap from a local store. But that would only take it down about  5C, or so I've been told.
    My fans: One on the base as an intake at 2300RPM, HSF at 3200, and 2500 for the outake located just below the power supply.
    I'm running the cpu at 2.0Ghz with an idle temp of 38C, but that is with the case on its side with the panel off; whereas I was running at 2.3 upright under my desk.
    Hmmm... what else. Room temp is low, it is well air conditioned.
    I think that is all, fire away if you need more detail to help.
    thanks
    p.s. link to a review of my HS http://www.ocworkbench.com/2004/scythe/samurai/p1.htm

    I mounted a coolermaster aero 7 (suggested by coolg... thank you man) and works fine
    idle temp is about 38 and full load is 43-46. and i used to reach about 60 before with my xp 2800+ barton.
    anyway i think that a 2500+ not oc and in normal room temperature conditions (shall we say about 20°C) shouldnt be too hot, even with the boxed amd fan+heatsink.
    first check if the cpu cooling is well installed.
    i've also found (personal experience) that little details may change a lot of things: case fan position, a "tidy" and well ventilated case, round cables...
    take care

  • Satellie Pro P100 - Overheating and too hot

    Hi
    I have a Satellite Pro P100, PSPAEE, which is running way too hot, the keyboard and base get so hot that I have to stop using it as my hand hurts after getting too hot.
    This all started since I did loads of driver and BIOS updates, as I did them all at the same time it is hard to know whether it is a driver or the latest BIOS that is causing this problem.
    Before I did them the fan used be revving up and down constantly like a yoyo even when cold, the updated BIOS now has it running fairly steadily but I don't think it is this or not this alone.
    I can't see an older BIOS on the support pages so don't think I can roll this back. I have seen a few posts about having to use the Toshiba NVIDIA video drivers otherwise this can overheat but all my drivers are from Toshiba.
    Does Toshiba Support or anyone else have any ideas, this has only happened since the BIOS and driver updates so I can't imagine it is only my machine that is suffering with this.
    thanks
    Duncan

    I just cleaned out all my fans yesterday due to the same reason.
    Without cleaning it it's idle temperature is 65 or higher, after cleaning it it goes a steady 45-50.
    Also what OS are you running as Vista is quite demanding.
    Also I don't know if i can say this out loud but you can download a Beta notebook driver from nvidia.com (please someone tell me if i'm allowed to say this lol),
    which in my opinion runs better then the toshiba one (drivers have different effect on the cards, also can produce more or less heat).
    As for the BIOS, you are referring to 4.70 which is quite stable although it has been lowered in fanspeed yes, cleaning out your heatsinks should solve this, if it doesn't bring it to a service centre and let them replace the thermoplast.

Maybe you are looking for
