Satellite X205-S9349 - Question about GPU temperature

Hi,
I purchased an *Satellite X205-S9349* approx. 10 months ago an recently installed a temperature monitor for the nVidia 8700M GT card. While using 3d modeling applications I recorded the average temperature at *97 degrees Celsius*.
Idling the computer results in a temperature of *60 degrees*. The computer is present in an air conditioned room, who's average temperature is *19 degrees*.
Is this the normal operating temperature of the X205-S9349 when on full load?
Can this temperature damage my computer?
Is there anything I can do to reduce the temperature without voiding the warranty provided by Toshiba?
Thanks in advance,
Pabst
PS: I have propped the back of my computer up so that air can easily flow through the bottom.

Hello Pabst
In my opinion there is no reason for panic. If you use original Toshiba display driver your notebook is protected and if the notebook will come up to critical temperature level it will shut down automatically to avoid hardware damage.
This with propping back side is great idea. Sometimes I do the same. The notebook can be cooled much better. And one more thing: do not believe always what those third part applications show.
Good luck!

2 question about GPU and Lens correction ,cs5

Hi
i have 2 questions about Gpu and lens correction in Cs5
1)Filter->lens correction->search online
i get often and almost every connection time out at the first click on search online , at the second click i get no online profile
is it normal?
2) question is about Gpu
it run faster , but talking about ajustament layer
like saturation or vibrance for example
i found with the gpu on , a light slow refresh compared with gpu off
i have set cache levels 6 ,history 20
i guess are the defaul
well i add a saturation layer and move the saturation slide ,increase o decrease saturation
with Gpu Off , the changes are immedially , i mean i can see in real time the increase o decrease of saturation
with Gpu On it takes a few(very few) time more
again is normal ?
don't be angry , i'm going to buy cs5 and i'm unsecure ... the price make a big role
thanks

For what it's worth, I also see a timeout on the first [ Search Online ] click, after about half a minute delay. Second click turns up results immediately. This happens each time Lens Correction is started, even without restarting Photoshop, and in both 32 and 64 bit versions. Also note that I started with one profile listed by default (though from the wrong camera) for my 40D with 28-135 zoom.
I alsow noticed that I was seeing progress bar activity in the Lens Correction dialog while I was typing this (even though Lens Correction was NOT the active window) every time I hit the 'L' key. Strange.

Satellite U405D - Several questions about overheat/disassembly/upgrade etc.

Hi there,
I have several questions about my one year old Satellite U405D-S2910
1- When it works, after 2-3 hours (I usually run small programs like safari, msn messenger and bsplayer) CPU gets 85-90 C (178-188 F). When I play Age of Empires 2 (Come on, its an ancient game) like 2-3 hours it shuts down itself. What could be the possible reason?? By the way, let me inform you about the climate of the town I live, temp 30C - humidity 25-35% (nowadays).
ps. Cpu= AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor. Model, RM-74
2- I'm going to disassemble my laptop in order to clean its cooling units (I think reason of overheating is this). It doesnt seem like a desktop, so complicated. Ive seen a step-by-step disassembly(btw, its so hard to spell disassembly:) I think Im going to do this. What are your suggestions about it? any experiences could help me?
3- My laptops Ram memory consists of 2X2GB PC5300 DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM, I want to replace it to 2x2GB MACH XTREME DDR2 1333MHZ CL9 NOTEBOOK RAM. Should I do it? Does it fit my laptop, work stable? any suggestions?
ps. mainboard chipset AMD M780V
4- finally :) , Should I use 64 bit OS or 32 bit OS (win7)? what OS would you use if you were me?
Thank you.

Hi buddy,
1+2. I think everything is related to a higher internal temperature and you should clean your notebook using compressed air spray. Therefore its not necessary to disassemble it, just blow gently and shortly the air through the notebook. You can buy such compressed air spray from every computer store I think and it takes only 5 minutes.
You can find an useful article about this here:
3. In my opinion you should forget this update! The RAM speed is related to FSB of CPU and as far as I know on Satellite U405D its 667MHz so its already the fastest RAM that you can have. Save your money and buy a bigger HDD or in best case an SSD that can really improve the performance!
4. In my opinion the answer is clear: Windows 7 64bit.
Only a 64bit OS support full 4GB RAM. ;)

[SOLVED] Question about CPU temperature

Hi everybody,
I just want to ask a question about "standard" CPU temperatures because my laptop (a Dell Vostro 3700) is permanently hot with the fans on even when I am not doing anything special.
I have CPU freq scaling active with the conservative governor, and I use Gnome Shell 3.2 with an nVidia using the nouveau driver.
Here are "stable" temperatures while writing this post:
# sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +72.5°C (crit = +103.0°C)
nouveau-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +78.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +110.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +73.0°C (high = +95.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 2: +73.0°C (high = +95.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
And this is the output of mpstat
# mpstat -P ALL

10:16:50 PM 3 1.36 0.20 0.39 0.02 0.00 0.01 0.00 0.00 98.01
The fan, of course, is full speed (very annoying)
I think that these temperatures are quite high, but I don't know what's really causing all this heating because my laptop is basically idle.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

About GPU temperature

I checked my gpu temperature is around 58 C as soon as i logged on widows.
Is that noraml ?

no.. i bought X3100 equipped T61, i had a T61 with Nvidia before but i swapped with a friend for a intel integrated X3100 T61.
Display quality is the same, but the graphic performance when it comes to complex CAD and games are different obviously.
The T61 1440x900 14.1 inch widescreen, T61 with 14.1 inch SXGA+ standard screen, and a T61 15.4 inch with WSXGA (my friend swapped the OEM WXGA for a WSXGA, before swapping with mine Nvidia equipped T61) <-- these are the one that i currently own....

Question about CPU temperature

Hi, I have just built a new system with the following,
Motherboard - MSI 760GM-P23 (FX)
CPU FX 6300
and as this is my first venture over to the AMD side of PC's I have some questions about the CPU temp.
The image below is from my system under load, I'm told that the temp readings from AMD CPU's are not accurate below 40c?
The FX 6300 'package temp' cant be accurate with a low of 13c it's simply not possible in a room that's almost 20c.
What is TMPIN1? I hope that's not my actual CPU temp as 69c is way to high. and a Google search for TMPIN1 brings up lots of forum posts regarding MSI boards, Hence my post here.
TMPIN0 looks like the most likely sensor for CPU temp but I'm just not sure, so which one is it? and where is TMPIN1 reading it's info from?
Regards and many thanks, Dave

What you see with HWINFO is the readings from two different sources. One is the reported temp by the AMD sensor, the other is the same temp but as reported and translated by the Fintek chip that MSI generally uses on their boards.
The differences in readings boils down to the digital signal to analog conversion by the two data suppliers, .i.e AMD sensor/Fintek chip.
If in doubt, always use the higher reported temp as the acceptable one. Quite frankly, I would think what the Fintek reports is probably close to what the real temps are. Common sense will dictate that what you see from the AMD sensor is virtually impossible unless you use liquid cooling.
Also remember that the software in use may differ in readings slightly.
The Fintek chip is reporting 2 CPU temps. I summise the higher as being the CPU core and the lower value as being a sensor in the vicinity of the CPU that MSI has added.
Comparing the info with your HW Monitor, I further believe that TMPIN1 is the same as the Fintek CPU higher temp. TMPIN2 is the one for the lower CPU value in HWINFO and TMPIN0 is probably your southbridge.
If you wish, run both these software packages at the same time and stress your machine in Prime95, Then you can monitor and figure out which ones are going up or down in unison. You may also find that the temps will be a lot closer then.

Satellite L850-Y3110 - Question about International warranty

I bought a Satellite laptop L850-Y3110 in India which has an international warranty.
There's a problem with it now, it's cd drive is faulty and I took it to an authorized service centre in Newcastle.
It needs the cd driver to be replaced, but now Im told Toshiba wont give the part cause I didn't but it in the UK, and the person told me to go back to where I bought it from and fix it there, I wont be going back there any time soon, so thats out of the option.
My question is what's the point of the International warranty if it's going to have these kinds of drawbacks.
When I bought a laptop I wanted one which would be in warranty internationally cause Im a student going out of the country for studies, thats why I bought this one as it has international warranty and my laptop still is in international warranty.
What am I to do now?

Hi
Im not quite sure about the notebooks sold in India but the notebooks sold in Europe are covered with at least 1 year European standard warranty, valid from the date of purchase
http://www.toshiba.eu/services/standard-warranty/
This warranty does not cover repair in other countries but in case of hardware malfunction you have to visit the authorized service provider in country where you made the purchase.
To get international warranty coverage you would need to purchase an International Warranty extension: details here http://www.toshiba.eu/services/warranty-extension/
In case the International Warranty has been registered for your notebook, the ASP in UK should be able to fix the notebook under international warranty conditions.

Question about GPU voltage.

My vid card reads .95v and its running well, don't get me wrong i have no complaints. I just have questions since i come across several posts about voltage.
1. What would be a reason to increase voltage? (the answer may answer the other questions as well.)
2. Does it make games run faster?
3. Does it increase the temps?
4. Why do some gamers w/ similar GPU as mine have higher default voltage?
Thanks in advance for replies.

1 - Reason to increase voltage is when overclocking the card or if default voltage was not quite high enough to begin with and the card is not stable during stress under use in gaming and such.
2 - Just simply increasing voltage by itself will not affect game playing speed/performance.
3 - Yes it can cause temps to be somewhat higher in conjunction with OC.
4 - Default voltage can vary from one GPU to another even if the same GPU mainly depending on the clock speed of the particular card in question. Even if same speed and same model of GPU the default voltage can vary simply due to variations in the chip itself may require a different voltage setting.

Satellite P300D-10v - Question about warranty

HI EVERYBODY
I have these overheating problems with my laptop Satellite P300D-10v.
I did everything I could do to fix it without any success..
I get the latest update of the bios from Toshiba. I cleaned my lap with compressed air first and then disassembled it all and cleaned it better.(it was really clean insight though...)
BUT unfortunately the problem still exists...
So i made a research on the internet and I found out that most of Toshiba owners have the same exactly problem with their laptop.
Well i guess this is a Toshiba bug for many years now.
Its a really nice lap, cool sound (the best in laptop ever) BUT......
So I wanted to make a question. As i am still under warranty, can i return this laptop and get my money back or change it with a different one????
If any body knows PLS let me know.
chears
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have already found you other threads.
Regarding the warranty question;
If there is something wrong with the hardware then the ASP in your country should be able to help you.
The warranty should cover every reparation or replacement.
But I read that you have disasembled the laptop at your own hand... hmmm if you have disasembled the notebook then your warrany is not valid anymore :(
I think this should be clear for you that you can lose the warrany if you disasemble the laptop!
By the way: you have to speak with the notebook dealer where you have purchased this notebook if you want to return the notebook
The Toshiba ASP can repair and fix the notebook but you will not get money from ASP.

Satellite M70-340: Question about warranty if I buy in Russia and move to Australia

I'd like to buy notebook Satellite M70-340 here in Russia. Next month I'm going to move to Australia. What about the warranty in this case?
Will I have to pay if some trouble occurs?
How can I recognise a laptop which is officially sold (= i mean legally delivered and has a worldwide warranty)?
Thanx a lot for your answer!

Hi
I dont know what you mean with officially sold and I hope you will buy notebook in PC store and not on the street. As far as I know every new notebook has one year international warranty but if you will stay longer you can buy warranty extension. It must be buying by authorized service partner in your country.
If you have troubles in Australia go to service partner and they will check if the unit is stolen or official soled. After that it can be repaired. As I said, contact Authorized Toshiba service partner in Russia and ask for warranty extension.

Satellite A100-599 - question about display driver update

Hi,
I have a Satellite A100-599 with a NVIDIA 7600go graphic card and I have Bioshock like most of you the game crashes because of some problems with the graphic card drivers, no pb...in the meantime NVIDIA released some new patches to the Forceware and after I rechecked the Toshiba driver support database I saw a new release in the Display driver list for WinXp.
One of them seems to be from 13/09/2007. I downloaded the drivers, installed them and after I checked the driver details in the Device manager list and to my surprise the details said the drivers are from 2006. I reinstalled the drivers and the same thing appeared. I checked the XML that was in the drivers archive and surprise ...the drivers are really the old ones from 2006. So my question is this: Do you have any Display Drivers for my model that work for Bioshock :D
Regards,Marian

I dont know if WE have. I think it would be took some long time to ask every single user: hey, do you have some drivers for blackmodjo? Ah, come on, please. Just a little bit of them... ;)
No, I have a better idea. Its like cooking a meal. The ingredients: DriverCleaner Pro and the website www.laptopvideo2go.com and .... ta ta ta TAAAA a lot of patience
To get some good "bio"shocked meal just follow this receipt:
Go to
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
read before you do anything (YES, even before you continue BREATHING) the FAQ-section on that site (RECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDED)
and then download the drivers. Do it, yes...
Then download drivercleaner by searching for it on www.google.com and THEN, read their Manual before doing anything else (Ok, you can continue breathing..)
After reading their manual you will something like:
1. Starting program, doing something, restarting machine
2. starting in safe mode, starting that program, removing..yadayadayada
3. Installing new driver
3. Playing Bioshock
4...
5..no..6. Thanking me and giving me your first born.. ;)
So, by cutting away around 40% of my humoristic stuff and following the constructive technical instructions from me you will be able to play bioshock.

Satellite Pro A200 - question about BIOS update

I have a Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7E) with Windows Vista and XP that were installed recently.
In Toshiba's driver page (BIOS update) says:
"This Bios is only compatible for Notebooks with Windows Vista!!!!"
1) Should I update my BIOS(1.4) or is it going to be a problem for my XP windows?
2) Has anyone try it?
3) Is there documentation about the BIOS updates (bug fixes, etc)?

Hi madmak
I think the description should be clear if the BIOS description says that the BIOS is only compatible for notebooks with Windows Vista then you cannot use it with Windows XP.
I think nobody should check if an Vista BIOS would be run on the XP notebook because mostly a wrong BIOS can damage the motherboards ROM on in your case some notebook features will not run correctly.
I didnt find also any reports about any fixed BIOS bugs it seems something like that was not published on Toshiba European site.
best regads and happy new year ;)

Satellite L20-101: Question about memory modules mixing PC2-4300 and PC2-4200

Hello
I have Toshiba Satellite L20-101. It has onboard 512MB RAM (PC2-4300). Today I added another RAM module but this new module is PC2-4200. Is there anything wrong doing this? Both modules are DDR2 and 533MHz and 512MB.

Hi Pawel,
In principle there is no problem with mixing RAM modules of slightly different types but normally the total RAM will only run at the speed of the slower module. If your notebook recognises the correct amount of RAM from both sticks then there will ne no problem.
