Satellite L670-1JN - Fan activity and temperature

Hello,
When my Satellite L670-1JN is not in sleep mode and when no application is running (only OS) with an ambiant temp 20C at wich temperaure approximately must be the processor?
At which temperature fan start and stop?
Power mode selected is normal with optimization of performance, with the power adapter.
Thanks

Yes fan activity is control automatically but when my laptop is not in sleep mode and when no application is running (only OS) fan stop(30s) cpu temp increase from 36% to 40% and fan run(30s at 55%) temp decrease from 40% to 36%.
For this I used Health Monitor delivered with PC. Temps ig given in % so i can't know temperature in C.
Is it normal? ambiant temp is 20C.
It's noisy.
I will prefer to have fan continuously on at lower speed.
Is it possible to change setting of fan and temperature except by changing the cooling method in Windows Power Management to battery optimized.
In this case noise increase fan stop(60s) cpu temp increase from 32% to 40% and fan run(60s at 90%) temp decrease from 40% to 32%.
My PC is newer I have not yet install other application so only OS is running.

Satellite L670 cpu fan noise

As I sit in front of my new L670 laptop, from the left end of the keyboard comes a frequent whirring up and down sound that i'm pretty sure is the CPU fan
(not the HD).
How much of this is too much? I find it disturbing.There's no sound like it from my 1 year old Toshiba. The temperature of the room is a constant 20degrees, so it isn't overheating.
And it does it even when sitting idle with only the Windows7 screen up ie no software activity going on at all.
I'm worried this is a defective computer. It's 2 days old (to me) - purchased brand new. Still could take it back.
Grateful for any thoughts.

I also have a Satellite L670 and have the same fan problem.
I bought this laptop 1 month ago and the problem was there from the begining. I have already set all the possible parameters to lower power consumption, and I set the CPUs to run between 1% and 50% of their maximum frequency. The problem is still the same. The problem does not come from the user nor the settings, but from the laptop itself.
IMO the problem is that this laptop refuses to set fan speed at e.g. 25%, 50%, or 75% of its maximum speed, depending on the temperature. The fan is either off (silent) or runs at full speed (too noisy). That is NOT a normal nor optimal behavior and Toshiba should fix it (BIOS update?).
I tried speedfan but it could not change the fan speed.
My other laptop, a cheap brand machine which I have been using almost everyday for over 5 years, is much quieter. When using a lot of CPU the fan will indeed make some noise, but that seldom happens in normal use and most of the time the fan runs at low speed and is barely noticeable.
Any solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated!

Satellite L670-12J - Display red and pixelated

Can anyone help? I have a Satellite L670-12J it has a intel hd graphics. running 8.15.10.2086 driver (it the most recent I can find I found a post saying up date your driver fix the problem. it didnt work). It happened about 6 weeks ago (it was only 3 weeks old when it first happened).
here is a pic you carnt see to much from the pic but t the naked eye its certanly not HD like its supposed to be!
http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz302/2685danny/2010-09-23211420.jpg
sometimes a reboot cures the problem. I've rebooted about 10 times now and its stil the same.

Hi buddy,
As Akuma wrote, please connect an external monitor to check if the problem is graphic or display related.
Furthermore make sure that latest display driver from Toshiba (not Intel) is installed. All drivers provided by Toshiba are pretested and work good on the notebook.
Last but not least: Are you using preinstalled Windows version or have you installed your own version?

IMac (early 2009), 3.06 GHz, ATI 4850 - fan speed and temperature questions

Well, so I downloaded and installed Temperature Monitor and iMac Fan Control - mainly for observational purposes and not for toying around with the fan speeds and I've got some questions. Mind you, I haven't tampered at all with the fan speed settings, just installed Fan Control. Here are my readings (while browsing the internet with Safari and doing a chat via iChat):
Fan Speeds:
CPU fan (desired) 1300 RPM / (current) 1530 RPM
HD fan (desired) 2100 RPM / (current) 2099 RPM
DVD fan (desired) 1300 / 1298 RPM
Temperatures:
CPU Heatsink: 92°F
Internal HD: 108°F
Internal DVD: 95°F
GPU Heatsink: 107°F
Are these, under the circumstances, normal readings?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Your welcome and no problem. I would say only the Apple engineers can tell you why the fans are set to those speeds however my best guess is the obvious they found those speeds the closest to keeping the temps at an optimum operating temperature. I found when I'm doing graphics intensive work my machine heats up but quickly cools down when I'm done.

Satellite L670-1JN - Difference between BIOS versions

My laptop L670-1JN bios version is 1.9, on download there is bios "2.10-WIN".
What's the differences between the versions?
Is it necesserary to update my bios?

Hi Merivel,
If everything is ok with your notebook I dont see a reason to update the BIOS.
But on Toshiba website I found an article about keyboard issues which could be solved by new BIOS version:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB1103370000R02.htm
So probably thats the difference to older BIOS version

Satellite U920T-11C fan noise and touchscreen fails sometimes

Hi,
I just purchased the U920T-11C a few days ago.
I like it but there a few issues they are putting me off and make me want to return it.
The first issue is the loud fan noise that comes on. Is there anyway to turn this off?
It happens about 15 mins into using the web and then goes on and off every 5 mins or so. It is really loud and being in quiet room it is noticeable.
Is there anything I can do to stop this? I am only using the web and not running any other programs.
Also I have noticed the touchscreen fails to respond for no particular reason. I don't know if there is a pattern but it is frustrating when it just stops for no reason and then sometimes just works again.
Looking at these forums it seems like it is a common problem with the Toshiba. I have a few days before I can return so if these are not solved I think I might just go form the Samsun ATIV Book 9 Lite instead.
Thanks

> It happens about 15 mins into using the web and then goes on and off every 5 mins or so. It is really loud and being in quiet room it is noticeable.
I assume the noise is coming from the fans which need to run faster in case the internal temperature would increase.
What you could do is to change the cooling module performance in single power plan.
You could also decrease the CPU performance. This would lead to smaller heat dissipation and the fans would slow down.
> Also I have noticed the touchscreen fails to respond for no particular reason. I don't know if there is a pattern but it is frustrating when it just stops for no reason and then sometimes just works again
You could try to calibrate the digitizer
Go to control panel (Windows key + X -> control panel) -> Tablet PC setting.
The first tab Display contains options like Configure the pen and touch display.
Here you should be able to start Setup and to identify the touch screen.
The first option should contain 1 internal LCD
At the bottom you could find button to calibrate and reset the settings for this internal LCD.
But it could be also an hardware malfunction. I cannot say for sure why this happens but maybe an technician should take a look on the hardware.

Increasing fan speed and temperature

my temperatures and fan speeds are slowly getting higher and louder on my imac g5 2nd gen (17", w/isight, 1.9ghz). i've never noticed my fans before. the only time i ever used to notice my imac made any noise at all was in the dead of night when i shut it down and noticed the absence of noise. but a couple of months ago i started being able to hear the fans when i play world of warcraft. since then, they have slowly gotten louder and louder, and they allow my cpu temp to get higher and higher before it stops rising.
before i could hear the fans i never noticed the temp, but after i started hearing them, my cpu temp usually maxed out at around 148º. now it is allowed to get to 167º and stay there while i play wow. and the fans are so loud i have to use headphones to be able to hear the game. simply surfing the internet now causes higher temperatures and fan speeds than playing WoW did a month ago.
should i take it to a service technician to see if anything is wrong with it?

Have you ever cleaned you machine? Since it's an iSight (which is actually 3rd generation, Ambient Light is the 2nd, Rev A the 1st), you can't open it but you can vacuum the air vents, which might help.

Fan Speeds and Temperatures 24" iMac 2.8GHz

What are the default fan speeds for a 24" iMac 2.8 GHz?
Also, what are the 'normal' temperatures for this computer?

The default iMac profile is the best for general use. For calibration get a Spyder 3 Pro: http://spyder.datacolor.com/product-mc-s3pro.php

Real time fan speed and temperature of the Thunderbolt Display

Is there software program that allows you to know the real time speed of the itnernal fan of the Thunderbolt display. Also I would like to monitor the internal temp of the TBD. I have Istat which allows me to do both but only for my MBPro not my montior.
Thanks.

Require BIOS 1.8 for Satellite A200-13M (PSAE6) - Fan activity

Hi y'all,
I recently updated my Satellite A200-13M (PSAE6) with bios 2.20-Win Vista.
I am experiencing a higher fan activity and as a consequence, a lot more noise!
The fan now activates at 47-48C wich is lower than previously (~50C)!
I would like to downgrade to the previous bios version which turned out to be smoother!
Could anyone help me get the 1.8-Win vista version.
What are the key changes from v1.8 to v2.2 except the more agressive fan control?
Kind regards.
Maxime

Hi Maxime
In my opinion the cooling modules run stronger and faster to prevent the internal hardware i.e. GPU and CPU from overheating.
For me it looks like the fan table which is stored in the BIOS was updated and therefore the fans rotate faster due to the reason mentioned above
The Toshiba driver page offers only the newest BIOS updates the older BIOS versions are not available on the website and I think you needed to contact your local ASP to get an earlier BIOS.
Unfortunately, I dont see any other possibilities to get an older, different BISO version for you notebook series.

2) ABOUT THE VIDEO CARD :
Also, before I had a Amilo Xi 2550-8009 that melt last week, I changed it for this Toshiba, but I am facing a problem with a game ARMA II.
The error message I got is : "Error compiling pixel shader", with black screen and a "ping" noise.
I don't understand because I found a comparative test with a GeForce and my current HD5650 that is supposed to support this shader stuff.
Did you manage to run ARMA II on your laptop ? If yes, what did I miss ?
Thanks in advance for your feedback fully appreciated,
G2MARS

Hi Syntax,
yes agree, you're so right, I just got 3BDO within 20 minutes today, still trying to understand why.

It might come from those damned update I did.... The last one is about the video card on the pilot update through driver device, right click, update.
I was surprised he did it, but, I suspect I had a BDO before that, can't remember.
Then... Still trying to identify the reason, I might go back to the older pilot version.
About Arma 2,on the very good website "Can I run it" it said there was a problem with the video card
Video Card
Recommended: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT / ATI Radeon HD 4850 with Shader Model 3 and 512 MB VRAM or faster
You Have: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650
Upgrade Suggested: Unfortunately, your Video Card does not meet this requirement. In the other hand I found this website with a test that compared the HD5650 with a GeForce, they said :
"La Mobility Radeon HD 5650 se montre ici bien plus performante que le GeForce GT 420M qui se relgu la dernire place par le GT 330M, plus performant sur ce jeu galement."
The HD5650 is more performant than the GeForce GT 420M .... If you understand something let me know cause I don't !
[TEST ATI and GEFORCE|http://www.clubic.com/carte-graphique/carte-graphique-nvidia/geforce-400-series/article-363820-3-test-nvidia-geforce-gt-420m.html]
Amazing, because this game ran on my Amilo xi 2550-8009 and a ATI Radeon HD 2700 256 Mo.
And Arma II Operation Arrowhead didn't show this error message, but, didn't run so well even with low graphic option,I just downloaded a ultimate patch v1.59, to be followed.

MSI AMD 890GX and Temperature Monitoring

Bear with me if this is a silly question to ask, this is my first computer build so I have a lot to learn.
I'm wanting to get a 5.25 in bay temperature monitor and was hoping there might be a port or connector somewhere on the motherboard to give me the bios reading of the CPU and/or northbridge temperature to external hardware. I, obviously, have the 890GX board and the Athlon II 3X but before I try any overclocking I want to be able to see a true temperature reading.
I've looked at a few fan controllers and temperature displays that have probes for their readings but I'm not fully convinced that readings in the area of the CPU or northbridge would be adequate, safety-wise.
Thanks

I have nothing against the BIOS readings, in fact that's what I'm interested in. My complaint about temperature probes is that its only going to give me a reading of the surrounding area rather then a direct reading of the cpu temperature.
I want to know if theres anyway to use one of the jUSB ports to connect to a piece of hardware to display the bios temperature readings. I'm sure this would involve a little bit (or a lotta bit) of coding to accomplish if its possible at all but I'd like to know if anyone has any information about hardware to do this.

Satellite R630-155 - Fan is too noisy and SSD upgrade

I am the owner of a Toshiba Satellite R630-155 (Core i5-480). My problems are:
1. The fan is too noisy and never stops. In normal operation (browsing and general office work) there is a constant high pitch noise that is audible three to four meters away in an office environment - in high load you just can't stand it!!! The fan never stops... even when you are doing nothing...
2. Heat is a big problem. The bottom of the laptop is constantly overheating and i have to place it on my desk in a way that the bottom left corner is outside of the table so it can breath fresh air from below - if not, the temperature rises and the (loud) fan is unable to keep up. When i work with the laptop while sitting on a sofa, i have to place a thick book between the laptop and my legs. The book must be thick (more than an inch) with hard covers, otherwise the heat passes through the book!!!!
3. Last (but not least, i just mention the biggest problems here) it's the problem with SSD installation. I bought a used Corsair F80 (80Gb SSD) from a friend, but i was unable to use it with the Toshiba - the BIOS was not detecting the disk. I tried installing all latest firmware updates for both laptop and SSD but i had no success. Then i gave the disk back and i bought a brand new Zalman 128Gb SSD (SSD0128N1 Sandforce) but i had exactly the same problem. I contacted my local Toshiba support and after a lot of conversation the only answer i got is that the laptop is not compatible with those SSD's and this is acceptable by Toshiba and not their problem. They told me that if i need an SSD upgrade i can only go for the Toshiba SSD that is installed on the portege series, which is sold by Toshiba for a ridiculously expensive price - about $500 for 128Gb. I contacted the European support center and i got the exact same reply. I searched on the Internet and i found someone else with the exact same problem with a Corsair 128Gb SSD - he found that the laptop detects the SSD after ten to twenty reboots. I tried that and it was true - after a lot of reboots the laptop detected the Zalman disk and i was able to install Windows 7 successfully, but the process is unacceptable. Also the disk is benchmarked by official sites at the speed of an OCZ Vertex 2 128Gb (and slightly better), but when i ran a benchmark in the Toshiba, the results I got were below half of the advertised speed. Same benchmark in another machine for the same disk, resulted in the advertised speeds.
Shame for Toshiba... nice design and portability but everything else is a big flaw. Their support in non existent and they do not value their customers. I feel they stole my money and I'll never buy a Toshiba laptop again.
Sorry for the big message, but I need I have to warn potential customers. Can someone help me with any of the above problems? Do you have the same problems too?
To be continued...

Hi buddy,
Regarding the fan and heat issue: Did you make BIOS update? Friend of me has Satellite R630 too and he told me that fan activity with new BIOS version 2.10 is reduced. Furthermore the notebook is cooler than before so I would recommend installing this update. You can download the BIOS update here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
But before you start the BIOS update you should consider the following tips:
-Run update as Administrator only
-Unzip all files from zip archive before you start the update file
-Close all running programs and also the antivirus and firewall
-Make sure that battery is fully charged
Regarding the SSDs its always a little bit complicated installing 3rd party products and nobody can guarantee that such parts would work. You are always on safely side with original Toshiba spare parts.
Everything what you can do is installing the newest firmware for SSD and hope that it works but who knows maybe the BIOS update will also help you in this case ;)

Satellite A210-151: more fan activity after BIOS update to version 1.80

Hi folks,
I have noticed a that the fan activity has changed dramatically since I have updated my BIOS to V1.80. Every minute or so, sometimes even more often, the fan starts to work, going from what I believe is probably level 3 of 4 to level 2 and then stops.
This is getting kind of annoying, especially when Im not working, and theres only the internet (firefox) wokring on the machine.
Anyone else notice that ?
Thanks, Mike

In addition to my previous entry, my BIOS was 1.70 so it is not related to the BIOS version.
I've googled for similar symptoms and I only found such issue on Intel based A200's.
In fact this is only one discussion with the issue on AMD processor.
My A200 fan worked in relation to the temperature. 28C - off, and 33C - on (SpeedFan).
When I completelly covered air intake at the bottom side, it remained constantly runnig as the temperature was 29-30C.
Nevertheless, this was the most comfortable usage of the notebook :-) as the fan noise was significantly lower and at constant rate you can get used to it.
It is less annoying then permanent switch on/off :-)
After playing a while with air intake covering I found that lower fan noise can be obtained with covering at least 80% of intake.
So you can still leave 20% of the intake opened for air which should be safe for working with laptop in normal load.
Of course, you should monitor processor temperature!

MSI 5900XT-VTD Fan speed and GPU Temperature

Hello,
I wonder if someone can tell me how can i know the temperature and fan speed of my MSI Gforce FX 5900 XT-VTD.
I have installed 3D Turbo Experience (MSI utility) but when i get the window,i'm only able to see the Core and Mem Speed(I can modify them).The fan speed and core temperature are not active.....
Is it normal ?..

that card doesnt surport monitoring of temps and fan speed
