My laptop gets to hot as compare to other laptop

hello,
I had purchased HP Pavilion dv6, intel core i3 processor notebook last year. There where many problem which i had faced, now a days the problem which am facing is my laptop get too hot even after the 20 min of use.
This thing came in my notice when I was operating my friend dell laptop and he was using mine at his house. There i get to know that mine laptop was became too hot as compare to my friend one.
I am in a doubt wheather my laptop is having manufacturing defect or this is normal in model which i have.
Do guide me what should i do in such case.
Thanks,

Hi,
you may want to consider gettinig the heatsink cleaned if the unit heats up now and was working fine before.

also, you may need to consider using product on flat and hard surface only and within recommended ambient temprature. its recommended to use the product within 5~35 C only. please have a check on it.
hope it helps.

I suggest booking an appointment at your nearest Apple Store and they will diagnose the problem and get it repaired if it requires it.

Purchased a new Official PSU Now Laptop appear to get very hot -Satelitte pro p300 1ay

Can any one help i recently Purchased a new Official PSU from Authorised Toshiba Dealer , and now the Laptop appear to get very hot particurlarly at the lower back of the screen hinge- What I want to know why is this happeing and is it damaging the laptop, as it get quite hot, unless I change the power saver mode, or dont have many web pages/ tabs open

Air flow is a major issue for all laptops. Therefore it is essential to make sure that several things are completed on a regular basis to keep your laptop running as cool as possible.
1. Make sure your air vents are free of lint and dust and your fan(s) are free of the same.
2. Use compressed canned air, spray air vents and fan(s) for 2 to 3 seconds at a time only; otherwise you may damage your hardware.
3. Open your laptop use Arctic Silver thermal compound applied to the heat sinks on the CPU.
4. Make sure your drivers for video and BIOS, chipset are all updated.
5. The other way to keep your laptop cooler is to purchase a cooling plate.
It fits under your laptop and it has 2 fans and it keeps your laptop twice to three times as cool.
It helps to draw out the hot air from within your system.
I am including an image to help show the vents.

My Hp Ency laptop gets super hot after upgrading to windows 10

Hi there,As I mentioned , my laptop gets very hot after upgrading from windows 8.1 to windows 10.Is this a known issue?thanks Payam HP ENVY TouchSmart 15 Notbook PC

Is it an AMD graphics card? If so, it's an issue with the new AMD drivers that a lot of people have been having. Report this issue to AMD: http://www.amdsurveys.com/se.ashx?s=5A1E27D25B93E7EE

When I'm streaming videos from my Macbook Air to my AppleTV, my Macbook Air gets rather hot and the fan works hard and is loud trying to keep the laptop cool. Is this harmful to the laptop? Is this normal?

My MBA fans start running when I play video too - the CPU's video processor is working pretty hard to decode the video. The fans job is to provide better airflow. The time to worry is when you play video and the fans don't run.

Laptop Gets Too Hot To Touch....

My four year old Power Book G-4 gets so hot on the bottom at the cover to the RAM compartment, that I can't keep my hand on the cover. This has gotten worse over the years, and I'm wondering if the cooling fan (is there one?) has gone bad, or is there another reason?
Any ideas.....?

Hi cartercal,
Boot up from your install DVD and select hardware test, it will rev up the fans, you should be able to hear them spinning as it goes through the test. This will also tell you if something is wrong.
If I remember correctly, hold down the option key as you boot with the DVD in the drive to use hardware test.
Good luck!

Why is my laptop getting so hot.

What would suddenly make my macbookpro run really hard and get really hot after 3 years of never doing it?

In the 3 years that you've owned your MBP, you've updated your applications and installed some programs that uses more cpu processes.
Sometimes, updating a program makes your cpu run hotter because the updated software will use more cpu process.
Also, check your activity monitor under All Processes and see whats using most of your CPU's power that makes your MBP run hot.
Also, as OGELTHORPE has mentioned, dust and other particles can get trapped inside your MBP.
There are screws at the back of your MBP and slowly take them out and blow out the dust off the case and try to slowly clean out the fans. Use a Q-Tip to clean them out if you wish.
If you're not techincally inclined, take it to any computer shop just for cleaning out the inside of your computer. Shouldn't cost more than $50.

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.

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.

Hp pavilion dv4-1225dx getting really hot

ive been feeling my laptop get really hot the past few weeks... when it gets hotter ive just been turning it off but im starting to get worried somethings gonna fry.
the heat seems to be coming from the hard drive. the heat can be felt on the area just to the left of the touchpad and up to the keyboard. i can feel the heat coming through the last row of keys. the bottom is also extremely hot way more than the top and in the area that says "hp protect smart" which i think is where the hard drive is.
just downloaded everest and the temperature is running at 70 C / 158 F.
i havent changed anything on my machine and am wondering where the heck this is coming from and why. ive barely had the laptop over a year and this problem started maybe a month ago.
what can i do? there doesnt seem to be dust in the fans from what i can tell from the outside, but maybe i should take it apart and clean it anyway?
anyone got any ideas?

just as an update, i ended up taking it into best buy (geek squad) because i have a 2 year service plan with them. they did a bios update and it seems to have somewhat fixed the problem. i no longer have the noisy fans (weird) and the temperature has gone down somewhat. it is still warmer than id like but i think im out of options here. probably will buy a laptop cooler soon. its also horrible that while searching for a fix myself to the heating issue, i couldnt find any hp documentation regarding a bios update possibly fixing this problem. i could of done the update myself instead.
i gotta say though, the lack of support from hp is horrible. not only was this a problem that occured (conveniently) 2 weeks after the 1 year hp warranty ran out but now my left touchpad button is basically falling off too. i had another hp a few years back and the harddrive on that laptop died 1 week after the warranty ran out. how convenient for hp.
i am in serious doubts if i ever want another hp.

Macbook pro retina display 15" charger getting too hot... any advice?

I have had my Macbook pro retina 15" since Jan 2014 and it has been working fine. Just recently, I have noticed that the charger block and the connector to the laptop gets extremely hot as does the actual laptop. I have looked around on the net and most of the discussions regarding this have been on earlier models. The charger block itself is so hot that it emanates heat and is too hot to touch! The plug into the laptop is pretty darn hot as well. When charging, I can't keep the macbook on my lap because it gets too hot.
I have checked all the connectors and the connections of all bits involved and they all seem good. I have also tried to minimalise all programs that are running.
Just wondering if someone can suggest anything, otherwise it looks like a trip to the store
Many thanks in advance

The bottom of the computer gets very hot

I just got this macbook pro MC721ll/a. The bottom of the computer gets very hot as it is sitting on my lap. I have never had a mac before but I don't think it should be doing that. Also, I don't hear any fans running. Is this normal?

The OS keeps the fans at a minimal speed because running them any faster would needlessly use extra energy and make more noise. Manually setting your fan speed won't wear out the fans because they're brushless AC fans (so they're not subject to any significant mechanical wear as they spin). One thing to keep in mind about SMC FanControl: Apple engineers spent a great deal of time, and probably money as well, designing the cooling systems for the computer (both in terms of the physical systems, and the algorithms that control the fans and regulate the voltages of the components). In addition, Intel CPUs have their own separate temperature monitoring systems which will severely throttle or even shut down the CPU if temperatures get dangerously high. So even in the extremely unlikely event that your fans ever actually spin too slowly, the computer will still shut itself off before anything bad happens.
And to answer your first question, it is definitely normal for the bottom of the Macbook to get hot because the body is made from aluminum, one of the best thermal conductors known. Basically the bottom acts as a heat sink, allowing the Macbook to cool off more efficiently and run faster. Most other manufacturers make the bodies of their laptops from plastics, which conduct heat about as well as fiberglass insulation or a mink coat.

thin horizontal lines appear occasionally across window of firefox, if i switch to finder, not there. appears to stay with windows of different programs.
lately above the keyboard along back edge in the middle under monitor gets very hot almost to hot to touch, uncomfortable on lap.
i have no idea what the memory cards are. some have suggested i should replace memory cards?

I don't really know about the new models as far as typical operating temperatures. The ones you mention are not meaningfully high to me. My 2011 13" MBP with an i5 CPU typically idles near 50º C.
As for the speed issue that is hard to evaluate on the basis of personal opinion. You can download and run GeekBench benchmarks and compare the results to those reported for the same model configuration. You can use CineBench to benchmark video performance.

65W 20V AC Adapter gets super hot (including new adapter replaced on warranty)

I bought a e420 in March and the 65W 20V AC adapter it came with has always ran really hot. Hot enough you can't really hold it while using the laptop while it's plugged in. When the laptop is off and charging, it's very cool. Now I just recieved a new adapter through warranty and it also gets really hot.
I also ordered my e420 with the big 9-cell battery, could that effect it? I'm also worried it has been killing my battery life as well, as it's much lower now on full charge than when it was new 7 months ago. I try to take care of the battery by almost always let it run down before charging it and don't use it plugged in unless i have too.
Would appreciate any thoughts on this. i see several random posts about hot ac adapters on the forum here but found no real conclusions.
-Thanks

Hi synovo,
May i have the machine type please? If your machine equipped with descrete graphic please disconnect immediately for safety reason, and use 90W AC instead. Anyway please contact local lenovo for further info

F7oo battery is not on recall but it gets real hot. what should i do?

My hp f700 battery gets very hot. Should i be concerned

So a 5 year old battery? Time for a new one. On a laptop of that age you can certainly get by with a "compatible" i.e. non-Genuine battery.

Power supply get very hot!

I just bought a Pavilion dv6-6c35dx laptop and have noticed that the power supply gets really really hot, to the point that it scares me and I disconnect the laptop. Does anyone has the same problem?

Same problem here on my dv6-6c35dx.
I didn't know about the power cord recall, and I bought a new ac adapter, power cord and replaced the battery. No change, the adapter gets really hot, too hot using the 2 second rule! Experienced chefs use it to determine if a grill is hot enough by touching it for no more than 2 seconds.
I'm now putting it on a ceramic plate to make sure it doesn't smoke something when its charging. I hope HP knows this is a problem. Maybe the battery charging rate can be slowed and this may help.
