Lenovo essential G505s (59-380146) CPU temperature

Hello Friends, Hope ya'll are doing fine. I bought lenovo essential G505s (59-380146) finally.
I am using speccy to monitor my laptop. My CPU temperature when the laptop is started averages around 85-90 degrees and during gaming, it reaches to 125 degree celcius.
I have a feeling this is not normal.
Also, on the box it said the RAM is of 1600MHz but speccy is showing it to be be 800MHz. What can be done in this case?
Kindly help!

hi atheos,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I checked you system's info.
Due to Turbo core Tech, your system might be Overclocking automatically up to 3.5, one step further to the normal speed of 2.5
Clock Speed
2.5 GHz with Turbo Core Technology Upto 3.5 GHz
This might be being triggered if you run a high processing Application.
and might the cause of over heating.
125 degrees is too hot for a computer and might cause problems.
Try to limit your CPU state to 99% this will stop the turbo core from being triggered then observe the Temperature. It should not be higher than 90 degress.
Check here how to limit the CPU state
Also note that room temperature may contribute.
About your RAM Speed
Software Tools is likely to report half of the memory speed since you have a doudle data rate, you will have to multipy the reported speed twice to get the actual speed
see details here

Issues with Lenovo Essential G505S laptop(59-380146)

Hi,
Left half of the Laptop gets heated up abnormally
A.C. power adapter gets heated up abnormally and trend is increasing day by day
battery back up time is less than 1.5 hrs even when ideal (laptop switched on but no activity carried out
comments and suggestions requested from other users of the same model and solutions to minimise the heating.
many thanks in advance

Hi jagadesh,
Welcome back to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the Laptop is getting heated up at the left hand side this issue seems to be hardware related but please check using the laptop on a flat surface as the air intake to the laptop will be better and for battery backup issue installing the LEM (Lenovo Energy Management) should resolve the issue, below is the link to download LEM.
Lenovo Energy Management Driver for Windows 7 & Windows 8
If the heating issue persists, I would Strongly Suggest Calling Technical Support for Assistance, below is the number to contact.
Hope this helps!!!
Do post us back if the issue still persists.

T61 T7250 CPU Temperature

What is the ideal CPU Temperature (safe range) of Lenovo Thinkpad T61 ? The processor is Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz. My system shows the following with a room temperature of 33 Degree Celcius (Taken 45 minutes after bootup. It varies between 49 and 51).

What you have suggested is good only if the Thinkpad Hardware of the SAME QUALITY are a available everywhere in the world, almost same prices and can be brought easily without delays
If you wanted a 100% perfect cpu with twice as much cache memory (compared to yours), I could probably get you one for about $10 delivered to your door (more or less depending on cost of postage). I can certainly understand why you wouldn't want to waste your old chip, but someone using a slower chip might be willing to pay $5 for it, so it wouldn't be a complete waste.
These are chips that originally cost hundreds of dollars and the way I see it is as cheap as they are selling now, I can't afford not to upgrade. Generally the fastest chip in any line are quite expensive even after a few years, but the models we are talking about end up being so cheap that they are destroyed in order to salvage $1-2 of gold from them.
However if you're happy with your performance, then there is no reason to upgrade.
There is one other aspect you may want to consider, if your system has the newer version of system board that supports Penryn cpu chips, then you could get a more advanced cpu chip that runs cooler, since you're concerned about running temp. If your laptop was manufactured in 2008, then it's very possible it could have a board that supports the penryn class cpu.

CPU temperature seems rather high

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad R61, and my temperature under normal load seems to stagnate around 50 degrees Celcius, which seems kind of high. When put under heavy load (compiling a kernel) it steadily rose to around 66 degrees celcius before I stopped the operation. While under heavy load, /proc/acpi/ibm/fan reported 3202, and under normal load now it reports 3125. Is it just me, or this CPU temperature kind of high? What can I do about it?
PS: Because it's a thinkpad, I can't use lm_sensors. thinkpad_acpi module takes care of such things.

Hah, IME laptops = heaters.
Even my dinosaur P2 celeron lappy gets to 70C CPU under load BEFORE the BIOS turns on the fan.
I think the idea is to hold off running the cooling as long as possible so cpuidle/speedstep can allow the chip to cool before using battery to run the fan.
As for the AC adaptor heating up, this smacks of poor design, the PSU should be able to maintain full load + battery charging for at least as long as a full charge from empty takes. Anything else is cutting corners based on 'yeah but how often will THAT happen'.
If your ACPI setup is not doing what it should, power consumption + heat output will be excesive under no/low load but full load power is full load power, as there is nothing to turn off.
My attitude would be, set up acpi and speedstep then ignore the temps. If it cooks under load then the hardware cooling solution is rubbish.
Seriously though, your temps sound quite normal. Look up the specs for your CPU on processorfinder.intel.com (or the AMD equivalent) you will probably be surprised at how high the max temperatures are. As for the AC adaptor - Don't run full speed while the battery is charging? The damn thing should be designed to handle it.
Do try and keep the HDD cool if you can - it is spinning down when not used right? Modern HDDs generate a fair bit of heat themselves when running and there ain't much airflow around the disc in most laptops.
EDIT: your HDD temps look sweet.
Have you played with laptop_mode?

K9N Platinum - Wrong CPU Temperature in BIOS

Hi, I have a K9N Platinum (7250-020) with the latest 1.3 BIOS and an AMD X2 3800+. The CPU Temperature in the BIOS has a negative sign in front of it, and it seems to always report -48*C. I tried the latest nVidia nTune and it was reporting the CPU temperature to be 208*C, which is absolutely impossible...
Does anyone have the same problem? I searched around and it seems I'm not the only one, but I still cannot understand if it affects only some K9N Platinums or all...
Thanks.

I assume you are talking about checking voltages as reported by the BIOS in the HW Monitor page, not physically checking them with a multimeter, correct?
I'll take a look at the numbers in the BIOS, but last time I checked they were ok.
As for raising the issue with MSI, eventually I will, even if they ask you soooooo many questions (for good reasons, I know...) that it would take me half an hour to fill that form...
I've checked with both and software is a little out from what a multimeter state's. Only check with a multimeter if your happy to do so. http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=137886 offer good advise if using a multimeter .....
The only issue I see is the AUX connector for 3.3v with ATX2.0 spec (Modular cables etc)

TheCleaner:
CAUTION: This test involves using probes with the computer ON. Please only do this if you feel competent enough to be dealing with electricity. If you short rails, you could risk damaging the PSU and possibly your components. I cannot be held responsible if something goes wrong, this is merely a guide. If you feel any concern, please post BEFORE doing this, and I will be glad to help.
Contacting MSI would be good to let them know of the problems your having

Tweak the balance between fan speed and CPU temperature / Dell M6400?

Hi all,
I have a Dell Precision M6400 17" laptop. It runs really well on Arch, but is a bit noisy. It has always been noisy, btw, but I recently noticed that the CPU fan was blowing a lot of air even though the CPU temperature is lower than 70°C. I also have a macbook air, and its CPU runs at 70°C all the time, which seems to be normal. I would like my m6400 to behave similarly, and I'm sure someone here know how to change that

When I start the laptop, its CPU fan stays at its minimal speed only for 1 or 2 minutes, then increases its rotation speed to a second level. It reaches it maximal speed only under heavy load, when the CPU reaches >80-95°C. I would rather let the CPU run a bit hotter before the fan starts to blow: let's say the fan could enter its intermediary speed between 70°C and 85°C instead of 55-80°C, and blow at is its maximum speed beyond that.
I checked the Fan Speed Control wiki page, but lm-sensors is not able to show me the status of the fans. Any idea ?
Aurel.
PS: the temperature of the GPU is not reported by sensors, and nvidia-settings reports around 60°C. Its dedicated fan is very quiet.

Hi aurelieng,
I'm in the same situation from at least 1 month ( INTEL CORE 2 EXTREME X9100, 3.06GHz with 8GB ram, one solid state disk 128 GB, and one sata disk 500GB)
My dell M6400 has dual boot: ubuntu and windows7. The fan works a lot and continuosly in both environment and this is the reason because I have doubt that the origin of the problem is in hardware problem?

My macbook pro cpu temperature is too high??please tell me correct fact and information

i mistake deleting my activity.......re question...
I'm using macbook pro retina 13inch 2013 late version.
my macbook has NO external graphic card, just iris graphic.
when i was playing diablo3 or watching movie by using bypass ip address, my cpu temperature was maintained 90~100 celcius degrees.
And at the same time, my cooling fan was maintained 5800~6000 rpm.
There are two questions.
One, is my macbook temperature too high or normal level ?
Two, i know that 6200rpm is maximum speed of cooling fan. Why did fan run 5800~6000rpm, not maximum?

When processor intensive activities are taking place, temperature may reach the maximum level.

CPU temperature is too high in Solaris 10 sun fire v890 machine

Hi,
I just installed Solaris 10 on a sun fire v890 machine. I used the prtdiag -v command to check the system.
However, It appears to me that the CPU temperatures is higher than the temperature range specified in the technical specification. The server is a standalone node that does not connect to the network or process anything.
Is it a problem? Thank you.

Satellite M100 - I can't analyse the CPU temperature

I'm an owner of Toshiba Satellite M100 series (Core Duo T2300, X1400, etc.). The problem is that I can't analyse the CPU temperature changes in such popular application like Everest or Notebook Hardware Control. Also any other software provided by Toshiba and already installed on my HDD doesn't include some CPU diagnostics including the temperature changes!
The only software which seems to be working is the HWiNFO32 so there is some thermal sensor inside which reads this temperature of Centrino Duo processor, but this software is not very user-friendly :(
There is a request for Toshiba to do something with this... I've upgraded BIOS in my model to a version 1.70 but it didn't change anything I could easily notice (or is there any?) :(

Hi
Like Mike said the BIOS update has nothing to do with the CPU temperature monitoring.
The fact is that Toshiba doesnt support any 3rd party applications.
However, all the temperature programs are not precise and dont get exactly information about the temperature. Only the programs with a physical temperature sensor will give you a exactly temperature.
I dont understand why its so important for you to know the temperature. The Toshiba notebooks support an overheating protection and if the temperature increases to the critical level so the unit shuts down automatically.

Why the CPU temperature is so high?

My NB Model #MB466, the CPU temperature is 40-50C under normal running and the fan is 2000rpm (I use iStat). When the CPU usage is about 80%, the temperature goes up to 70 or 80C, I can feel it, especially the bottom area of the screen, and the fan goes up to 4000rpm.
Is this normal?

My new Aluminum MacBook can get pretty hot when I play Spore or use an iTunes visualizer. The hottest I've seen (according to iStat Menus) is 194 degrees fahrenheit and 5637 rpm. I think they won't go too much farther. If something meets the system requirements, it should be fine.

Mac Pro 8-core X5365 CPU temperature

I've got an 8-core Mac Pro which is crunching SETI@home 24/7, with Hardware Monitor monitoring the CPU temperatures and other vital stats. After reading the Intel Quad-Core Xeon Proc datasheet, I'm a little edgy about the operating temperature of these X5365 CPUs, currently registering at 65 - 70ºC on load for each temperature diode, and fail-safe temperature set to 73ºC to disable SETI@home via Hardware Monitor. I also have smcFanControl speeding up the fans because my ambient temperature varies thanks to myself being in a tropical region, my ambient temperature can reach 33ºC at times, but down to 28ºC when air-conditioned.
My question is, what is the maximum temperature for these CPUs before they run into the risk of being fried/permanently damaged..?
Inputs from the Mac Pro-DC/grid community are also welcomed here.
Thanks.

my 8-core is running seti 24/7 since may without any problem, although my ambient temps dont rise above 30 degrees centigrade...and that's using the optimised apps which make the processor run hotter
the fans on the machine run 600-2000 rpm all day and all night, i dont expect it to lessen the life of the machine whatsoever. it should be capable of running flat out all its life, that is, after all why we spend so much on these machines in the first place !
if you only use 4 cores perhaps you should buy a 4-core mac ? he heh just joking...
as mentioned earlier, when things get really too hot the OS will shut the system down, and if that doesnt happen then the cpus themselves will shut down...
the heatsinks and fans on these machines are fully capable of coping if your macine is running withing the specified ambient temp range which for the mac pro is 10° to 35° if your seeing ambient over 35 then smc fan control is probably a good idea otherwise it should be fine

CPU temperature under Bootcamp with Windows 7

Hello,
In Windows 7 on Bootcamp (version 4.0), while watching youtube/flash or installing software (e.g. Adobe Acrobat updates), the CPU temperature on my new MBA (MacBookAir4,2 (13") - 1.7/4/256GB) goes pretty high, but ironically the fan speed does not increase to take care of that.
Attached is a screenshot I took using speccy, where we see that the CPU temperature is 94 C, but the fan speed is only 2001 RPM.
However, when I run OS X (Lion), the fan behaves normally and speeds up as necessary to accommodate the increase in CPU temperature.
Has anyone else experienced something like this while using Windows 7 under Bootcamp? And does this behavior seem normal?
Thanks!

try Lubbo's Fan control.

when you first run it immediately decrease the max fan speed to less than 3000. it's default value is crazy 6000 rpm.
