Temperatur​e values at high fixed values

I have two 1102/1302 with 6363 that has worked fine in the past.  After some down time I ran the vi and did not get correct values.  I investigated the virtual channels in MAX and the table has high fixed values for all channels (218-219 C) at room temperature and they are static values.  It would seem these values are not being read from any connected TCs.  Any idea as to what could cause this behavior?
Solved!

teslac,
How long has the system been sitting?
Make sure that the hardware is physically set up correctly. Also, make sure that the correct thermocouple type is selected on your Virtual channel.
Do you get the same values if you run the MAX Test panels?
Do you get the same values if you run the example LabVIEW Program “Thermocouple - Continuous Input”

  • Is an HDD temperature of 68C too high?

    So, not too long ago I decided to add my hard disk temperatures using HDDtemp to my conky.
    After a good two hours of having the computer on, the temperature of my HDD was already at 68C!
    This is in a desktop system.
    I used hddtemp to obtain the temperature figures:
    ~#hddtemp /dev/sda
    /dev/sda: Maxtor 7Y250M0: 68°C
    This computer is 7 years old now and nothing at all has been changed in the cooling setup from the stock setup.
    Is running my hard disk at such high a temperature a good idea? Will it damage the hard disk (I do not back up my data at all) or cause a hard drive failure?

    Published specs are available at this store: http://www.superwarehouse.com/Maxtor_Ma … /ps/295212.  It shows 141 °F or 55 °C as the top operating temperature.
    My rule of thumb for temperatures for electronics is "if you can't hold it in your hands, it's too hot".  60 °C is normally the hottest temperature anyone can hold.  You quickly drop things that are warmer.
    Google studied hard drive failures and published their findings.  Higher temperatures on older drives were related to increased failures. However, they stated:
    Surprisingly, we found that temperature and activity levels were much less correlated with drive failures than previously reported.

  • NForce 5 Temperature is a bit high..

    Just installed nTune 5.05.18.00 and noticed a VERY HIGH chipset temperature and strange temperature graphical chart.
    Here is a screenshot.
    162°C is quite a bit. I remember reading about this here, I think, but can't remember what was said. Anyone know if this temperature is correct and normal?
    Also, can anyone recommend a good temp/fanspeed/voltage monitoring program that works with my motherboard? I use SpeedFan but it doesn't report every voltage. Not that they are accurate (so they say), but still..

    I'm pretty sure ntune doesn't support that board (no MSI nv board has been supported fully by ntune before), so just forget about those readouts .

  • K8n Diamond Plus Temperatures. Are mine high?

    so i have been running speedfan lately and i thought it was giving me incorrect readouts on my temps inside my case.  so i ran Hmonitor and i am getting the same temps.  im not to sure on what certain temps actually are, nor do i know their typical range on my current system.
    Temps at idle typing this right now:
    Mainboard: 47C    (what is the mainboard temp actually?  what part of the actual mainboard is it reading from, southbridge, etc..)
    CPU1:        31C   (this is my 3500+ 939 Newcastle chip, even though in the BIOS it says i am running at 36C)
    AUX:         41C    (what is this temp actually recording from?)
    Core:       42-45C (this is my northbridge i know that, but is it typical of the NB to change temps so quickly even at idle?)
    Fan speeds at idle:
    Sys Fan(Northbridge cooler):   ~5820rpm  (Hmonitor says 5600rpm)
    CPU fan:  ~1440rpm  (this i am assuming is standard for a zalman 92mm heatsink
    im really just wondering what the mainboard temp ACTUALLY is and if i should be worried about it being so high.  also what is the auxillary temp measing, is my northbridge supposed to change temps so dramatically, and thats about it.  oh also, i am running 2 7900gt's SLI's which hover around 50-60C so im not worried about them.  also my ambient is around 21-24C(my assumptions since i dont actually have a temp in my room)

    afaik there is no temp sensor in the northbridge. the temp sensor for the system is located on the mobo, usually in close proximity to the northbridge. the other readings you might have can be the following: GPU core, HDD and CPU.

  • Take the average of the measured values wich cannot be converted from string to number..

    Hello,
    I have a Keithley 182 Digital Nanometer (K182). I am usins it to measure voltage at high temperature. I want K182 to measure 3 times and then take the avarage of collected data.
    1. First problem is, as you can see from picture, string to number conversion. I tried many ways but I couldn't do it. Values as you see 0,00, and once was
    3,98E-3
    0,00
    392,0
    originan values were
    3,98E-3
    3,95E-3
    3,93E-3
    in table, values generally like this.
    2. I need to take avarege. So i need toindez data, then take avarage. So, I have also problem here...
    Could you please help on thic topic. Thanks in advance.

    thank you, I will try this solution. Also I want to do one more thing. So, I am collecting data and putting them in to table let say data are like this
    Temp1     Temp2   Volt
    123,3       234,5      ...
    234,4       567,7
    345,6       789,9
    456,7       678,8
    I want to put data with increment like this given below:
    No  Temp1     Temp2   Volt
    1    123,3       234,5      ...
    2    234,4       567,7    
    3    345,6       789,9
    4    456,7       678,8
    there are no exact number of data. the number of data can change from measurement to measurement (1000, 2000, 500 more or less). How can I program this increment in my system.
    My system is include LakeShore 336 temperature conroller and Keithley 182 Nanovoltmeter. I will set the temperature specified value from room temperature wtih specific ramp rate. Meanwhile I will measure the voltage from sample via K182. So, I can measure both temp, and voltage via taking help from u.

  • What are these high temperatures?

    Hello,
    I recently build a new pc. The problem is that some temperatures are t0o high. I am worried.
    Temperatures after playing Unreal Tournament 3 for 25 minutes with a room temperature of 21 Celsius.
    Temperatures after playing Unreal Tournament 3 for 20 minutes with a room temparture of 27 Celsius.
    There are 2 temperatures sensors which are bothering me. In Hwmonitor they are called TMPIN0 and TMPIN2. The bios system temperature is equal as TMPIN2. After some research i think it is the northbridge.
    But what is TMPIN0? AIDA64 says it is the CPU. But that doesn't seem right because the temperature of TMPIN0 is higher than the CPU-cores and CPU-package.
    The bios says the CPU temperature is equal as the CPU-cores and CPU-package which are  displayed in HWmonitor and AIDA64.
    When i going to stress my CPU, then the TMPIN0 temperature  is not rising.
    But when i stress my GPU, then the TMPIN0 temperature is rising. The TMPIN2(nortbridge?)  is also rising since the northbridge is located close to the graphics-card.
    Is 70 Degrees Celsius for the northbridge too high?
    I found the “Maximium Case Temperature” for the Intel H61 Chipset: 111 Celsius.
    But what is the “Maximium Case Temperature”? Has it to do something with Tcase?
    I also found the Tcase and Tjmax for the Z68 chipset. The TCase for the set is 104°C and the Tjmax is 108°C.
    As much as i can find, The H61 and Z68 are both 65 nm and have a max TDP of 6.1W. They are the same series. Is this also the case with the Tcase and Tjmax?
    But what is TMPIN0 for a sensor?
    My bios is showing only 2 temperatures: The cpu and the System Temperature. (Nortbridge Intel H61)
    Should i be worried about the temperatures?
    My system:
    Intel pentium G860 Boxed
    MSI-H61MA-E35 (B3) Intel H61 chipset
    8GB ram, 2 dimms
    Seageate Barracuda 7200 1TB
    Fractial Design Core 1000
    Antel vp350P
    AMD Radeon HD4850
    (Sorry for bad english. It isn´t my first language.)
    (And for some reason i cannot post links... Get error: Sorry, you are not allowed to post external links.)

    Ok, i flashed the bios.
    I saw that the system temperature(TMPIN2) was now 30C instead of 60. (chipset temps)
    But TMPIN0 was just the same.
    So i thought to run a few bad-scenario tests. i tested with a closed case without casefans with a room temperature of 19C.
    I only tested with furmark because only when i use my graphiccard, TMPIN0 and TMPIN2 would raise to high temps.
    Furmark only uses one CPU core.
    This were the results:
    As you can see TMPIN0/T1 reaches 120C, and my CPU downclocks again.
    I located the sensor for TMPIN0, i think. I removed the sidepanel and placed a system fan directly under the videocard on the fintek chip. left tot the board.
    The temperature dropped from 70C to 60C under furmark load. Other places and the results were less.
    I also contacted MSI support. And they say that usually there is a temp sensor located close to the wintek chip. He also refered to the new betabios and said that the temps stayed that high, i should rma my board. And he closed my question thread.
    quite stupid to place a sensor close to a pcie 16x slot, where people usually put hot gpu's. And the strange thing is that the temp of TMPIN0/T1 goes a lot higher than the graphic-card.
    I touched almost the whole motherboard, but nothing is hot. and the hot air can't be hotter than 82.5C(GPU temp) So why does TMPIN0/T1 raise that much? 
    I am going to order new casefans. Hoping they make a diference.
    When i have the casefans and it is summer (30C). I think the casefans doesn't do much help then. I had more pc''s, they could easily get into a case without casefans especially at a room temperature of 19C at full load with hot graphic-card.
    Why whould a CPU downclocks when a sensor under the PCIE slot get too hot? Why o WHY?!?!? it has nothing to do with the CPU itself! Even with IntelBurnTest the cpu stays below 60C and won't downclock.
    It has to be a false reading, nothing gets too hot. Very annoying. I think the sensor is broken or something, when it reach a certain temperature it just keeps raising. it even kept raising  like 10 seconds after i quit furmark, and stayed for 20 seconds on 116/120C. it was 110 when i quit furmark. And if it is so important for msi to drop the cpu speed if TMPIN0/T1 Goes over 100C then lists this sensor to the bios temps and in msi controlcenter because they show not this temperature as of right now.
    And i am not alone in this, atleast 2 more people have exact the same problem as me.

    What temps are you seeing in control center?
    and this:
    They reporting the same temps as in HWmonitor and hwinfo. Actually Control Center only reports 2 temps: CPU temp and system temp.

    1.Fix System Temp issue
    Also, I got a response about the cpu compatibiltiy. All new boards shipments of that mobo are shipped with 2.1 and will apparently work with the sb cpu. (Like the z77 apparently, this chipset, the sb cpu and me 8 can co-exist w/o problem) That being said, flash to the .139 which is me7 then if the problem doesn't go away, hold your breath and try 2.1. We can give you a file to flash back to me7 if you need to do so.
    About 2.1, i can't find nothing in the changelog about a fix for system-temperature. And i read that people couldn't boot anymore after they updated to ME8, they need an Ivy Bridge to boot. Well if that happens i can't flash back to ME7 since i don't have a Ivy Bridge. And the new beta bios has more fixes than 2.1
    And xmad, after all these temp issues i feel like your avatar. 

  • MSI GTX560 Ti Hawk SLI Temperature too high

    Hi,
    Two days ago I bought a second GTX560-Ti hawk (Twin Frozr III) to run in SLi with my other (the exact same card). I noticed that the VRAM temperature of one of the cards (I'm guessing the top one, but I'm not 100% sure) got really high. It got to something like 90 degrees celcius. Core temperature was ok for both cards, a little bit higher than when running a single card but I suppose that is to be expected.
    Also when I stopped doing anything when it got to that temperature I noticed that the VRAM temperature wasn't going down very fast.
    I've tried both cards separately and didn't observe those temperatures so I'm guessing the cards are ok. It's only in SLi modes that these have issues. I was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction as to fixing this problem, as right not I cannot play any games because I'm worried that the temperatures will become too high.
    It's worth mentioning I have a MSI P67A-GD55 (B3) motherboard.
    Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

    Actually I got a new case and put everything in and did as you said (switched the cards) and got no screen at all.
    If I switch the cards to the original set up it works like I described before. I'm guessing the second card is faulty and I will RMA it.

  • High CPU Usage for Google Drive...Any Known Fix?

    I posted this over in the Google support forums, but I figured I'd throw it over here to see if anyone had any thoughts on it.
    In the past couple of days, I noticed that my CPU temperature had been much higher than normal...cracking 70º C when idle and, of course, getting warmer when doing other things.  As a result, fan speeds ramp up and battery life lessons (I monitor all this with the iStat Pro dashboard widget).  I considered doing an SMC reset (and still kept it in my back pocket if the problem persisted).  The first thing I did was see what, if anything, was taxing the CPU.  I opened Activity Monitor and noted, to my surprise, that Google Drive (running the newest build, 1.19.8406.6504) was using 100% of my CPU!  And doing so just sitting in my menubar doing nothing.  I quit drive and, within, minutes, my CPU temperature dropped almost 30º.  The temperature has, since, been staying put in the 40º-50º C range and the fans speeds around 2000 RPM...both considered "normal" ranges for near-idle behavior on my MacBook.  Resetting the SMC has remained unnecessary.
    Any other Google Drive users out there who have seen this problem?  Anyone found a fix?  Thanks.

    Yep, me too.

  • MSI 7970 TF3 BE OC - High Temperature for VRM1 & VRM2

    Hi, I've recently acquired 2 pieces of MSI 7970 TF3 BE OC cards. Been running them in crossfire on stock settings but I've observed my VRM 1 temperatures are hitting as high as 112°C while VRM 2 temperatures tops at about 92°C. The GPU is running at about 85°C max. Are these temperatures normal? And also I would like to check on the factory stock core and VRAM voltages. Please advise, thanks
    Btw, I'm using a CoolerMaster HAF X casing and I've got the side 200mm fans set to 100%, blowing air to the cards. Air circulation within the casing is good as all other peripherals are running cool.

    Quote from: flobelix on 17-May-13, 00:45:22
    >>Posting Guide<< -> List other components especially board. Could be there is just little space between the cards so one can't breath "properly". VRMs above 110°C is surely not good.
    What should that mean? Please clarify what you want to know.
    Hi, sorry for not being specific. Here are some details,
    System Specs:
    Intel i7-3770K

    I've left a gap between the 2 cards as shown in the pictures below, that is as far as they can be due to the length of the crossfire connector.
    The top and rear fans are pushing air out from the casing. The front and side fans are drawing air inwards from outside the casing.
    There is also a large 200mm fan drawing in air from the side of the casing for cooling the videocards as shown below,
    The cards are running on the following settings in AMD Overdrive's Menu,
    GPU Clock Settings: 1050Mhz
    Memory Clock Settings: 1375Mhz
    Enable Manual Fan Control: Not Enabled (AUTO)
    Power Control Settings: 0%
    I would like to know if the temperatures mentioned in the first post is normal and if I should RMA the cards if they aren't.

  • U430p Touch temperature too high

    Good morning everyone,
    I have the Lenovo U430p Touch (Grey 59427963):
    i7-4510U
    NVIDIA Geforce GT 730M 
    8GB Ram
    500GB + 8GB 5400 rpm
    Since very young, I was always into gaming, being the clevo P370EM my previous "laptop". I've decided to go for a lighter smaller laptop and I chose the Lenovo U430.
    I have this Lenovo laptop now, for the past 9 months. apart from the normal tasks (browsing, video chating, music videos, excel documents, image editing....) I play a few games as well (League of Legends, Path of Exile and Grid 2).
    I haven't modified the laptop in any way. Everything is up to date - OS and drivers.
    i like the games to run smooth so Im not even on high graphics, I reduced them to have more fps.
    since the beggining the laptop allways worked fine, temperatures where never too high...
    but for the past 1.... 2 months, I started noticing that it gets too hot in when playing, and even when im bworsing on youtube for example...
    I was wondering that I should/could open the laptop to clean the dust (i've used the Dust Removal tool from lenovo Power management but it barely helps....) and also to renew the thermal paste.
    However, I was not able to find much info on this.
    The image below is from Notebookcheck, could you guys let me know wich one is the GPU and wich one is the CPU, and also:
    does both the GPU and CPU use thermal paste? or is it only the GPU?
    Would it be a good idea to renew the thermal paste? (I would take the laptop to any store capable of doing this)

    Thank you
    Moderator note: large image(s) converted to link(s):  About Posting Pictures In The Forums

    First, I would recommend that you download HWMonitor which is a free utility that will report your system's temperatures.  That way you will know if "hot" is really too hot.  The download comes in two versions. The first will install on your computer.  The second version is a Zip file that can be copied onto a flash drive and used as a portable application.  You can download HWMonitor here....
    http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
    Secondly, I would recommend that you blow out the cooling vents on your computer if you have never done so.  Given the time in use, the environment in which you use you laptop, the heatsink and fan maybe covered in dust. Dust on the cooling fins will decrease the cooling efficiency and dust caked on the fan's blades with decrease performance.  Can of compressed air are available at any computer or electronics stores.  They maybe also found in the electronics section of big chain stores.  Just use short bursts of compressed air in the exhaust and intake vents.  Do this several times until you no longer notice dust being blown out.  Avoid long blasts of air as that may damage the fan.
    Thirdly, if you decide take the computer in to have the thermal paste renewed I would recommend finding an Lenovo Authorized Service Center since the laptop is still under warranty.  The repair center will renew all the thermal paste under the CPU or GPU. You can find an authorize center by using the link below.  Select your country, enter in your city and check the back box for Warranty Service Provider.  Here is that link......

  • Thermocouple wire gauge/diameter/size at high temperatures

    I have to ask this question.  Maybe my Google skills are just failing me, because it seems obvious, but I can't find the answer
    I understand about problems with high resistance in thermocouples that use too much thin wire, but why are there lower high temperature limits given for high gauge wires?
    What happens if I use these thermocouples at such temperatures?  Is the concern just that the wire will burn up quickly, or is there some reason that the temperature readings will be inaccurate?

    And there another point: Oxidaton/Obladation and reactions with the isolation material will change the Seebeck coefficient -> sensivity of the TC.  You cant avoid it, just try to minimize it.
    This is a function of temperature and the ratio of surface to material -> smaller diameter faster change in sensivity.
    So you can use a smaller TC wire for a shorter time (until recalibration/replacement)

  • Satellite C660D - high Processor temperature

    Hi
    I have recently had high readings on my C660D-14W its sometimes hitting 91 degrees not all the time mostly between 55 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius. I was thinking of taking it to a technician because it could be full of dust and Im not able to open the case. The odd thing is I have been using for about a week or two with these high readings and I have not randomly shut down once which is normal a big symptom for this Im not sure to waist the money on a technician but Im not prepared to use a hoover or anything to dust it and compressed air would just push it more inside.
    I got a quote on taking all the hardware out and dusting its not loads but Im really not sure if I should take it to a technician if I have had no freezes or random shutdowns at all. I did have one freeze while I was stressing the computer at one point and that was about 2 weeks ago since I have been using it for everyday activities such as videos, music and email accounts and no freezes, random shutdowns or random restarts so what gives. Also I have noticed a bit of high pitched noise so I think the fan has a problem its very faint though so Im not sure if my laptop has always given this noise out.
    If anyone could help me on this matter that would be great, I may take it to a technician anyway because Im worried I will fry the CPU, I think its been like playing with fire using it for the last 2 weeks.
    Kind Regards
    Rine

    Hi
    The CPU temperature can increase running high performance applications like games, videos, etc
    This is nothing unusual
    The temperature between 55C 70C is normal level.
    91C is high but I doubt it appears always possibly this level would be reached in cases the CPU would be stressed a lot
    However, the cooling modules should be cleaned from time to timeIm doing this very often and I could recommend using an compressed air spray to get dust removed.

  • Unexpected shutdowns / high GPU diode temperatures / new RAM?

    Hi there, all. First time posting on the discussion forum.
    My problem started earlier. I ordered some additional RAM for the new World of Warcraft expansion and put it in today. Here's the RAM in question, from the place I got it from:
    http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?imodule=CT25664AC667
    I used their locator tool, input my computer (24" iMac, 2.33ghz, late 2007), and that's what it gave me. Just to be safe I cross-checked it with the RAM specs necessary that I found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1423
    As far as I could tell, this all checked out. I ordered the RAM and installed it today with little effort. I did notice that the levers for popping out/securing the RAM were a little hard to move. It seemed like they were an awfully tight fit, and sometimes were touching the sodimms as they moved in and out. Nevertheless everything fit in and clicked. I removed one of the 1gb sodimms I had by default and installed my new 2gb sodimm, for a total of 3gb.
    After that I rebooted and checked system profiler. It registered 3gb of memory and said both modules were working OK. I checked iStat Pro and it also showed 3gb of memory. I noticed a pretty substantial performance increase in WoW, which is what I was looking for, so I assumed everything was fine. I played WoW all day, from about 12:00 noon to midnight off and on. No problems.
    Around midnight, my computer shut down. No warning at all. I thought it was a power outage of some kind; either a cord was loose, my power strip was out, etc. That's how sudden and weird it was. I checked my cords, unplugged the power, plugged it back in, and rebooted.
    About 5 minutes later, it happened again. I repeated this 3-4 times. Each time I booted up, checked to make sure the RAM was working properly, fired up WoW, and it would crap out very shortly afterward.
    After a few repeats of this I started looking at my temperatures in iStat Pro. I noticed that the GPU Diode was significantly higher than the others - in the 170 degrees Fahrenheit / 70 degrees Celsius range. I watched them closely as I rebooted, and I figured out that as soon as the GPU Diode temperature got into the 170f/70c range my computer would die instantly.
    Did some research on these forums and elsewhere, and discovered reports of a pretty widespread issue of GPUs overheating on the Intel iMacs, with an identical response: instant shutdown at a critical temperature.
    The computer geek in me says that this is a problem with the RAM. However, system profiler and iStat Pro all say the RAM is functioning properly. And if the problem does have to do with the GPU, as the temperatures seem to indicate, is that connected to the RAM?
    Anyway. I unplugged my system and reseated the RAM just to be sure everything was fitted properly. I think that one of the sodimms may have been loose. I made double sure everything clicked into place this time, and as of this writing WoW has been running for 35 minutes with no hitches. The GPU Diode temperature went as high as 190f/90c, but my computer didn't shut down. Now the GPU Diode has calmed down to a more reasonable 160f/70c, and it's hovering there.
    Anybody have any input? The problem has gone away for the moment, but my temperatures are still pretty high and I'm a little nervous. Should I take it in to the Apple store? I have Applecare, so it certainly wouldn't hurt.

    Hi arco311
    It does sound like you may have dislodged the remaining 1GB module or not fully seated the new 2GB module. If you have any more issues that seem to be ram related, reinstall the ram pushing real hard on each of the modules with both thumbs and then close the ejector clips.
    There are three fans in the Intel iMac (CPU/GPU, HD and Optical Drive) and you may want to experiment with smcFanControl 2.1.3. Then run up only the CPU/GPU fan speed a couple hundred RPM to see if that helps to keep the GPU down in the 160 to 170 range.

  • Macbook Pro 13" early-2011 Fans at high speed

    Hi guys,
    I hope you can solve this pussle for me.
    My Macbook Pro (13", early 2011, Core i5 @ 2.3) started to behave weird, its fan (only the exhaust one, since it's a 13" Macbook Pro with the Intel HD integrated graphics) is running at top speed (6200-6208 rpms) with no reason at all. No system processes consuming high CPU, just idling.
    There's a twist to this issue, though. It only does it when I open the lid more than 90 degrees. If I get it back the fan returns to normal functioning.
    What I did:
    checked the temperature sensor values, they are fine
    checked for crazy background tasks, there are none, CPU usage is at max 7%
    it does the same thing even in safe mode
    reset PRAM
    reset SMC
    reinstalled OS X (Lion). Updated to 10.7.4
    searched every discussion I could find on this matter
    The difference between this issue and others I encountered along the way is the lid opening thing.
    Does anyone know if getting the lid past the 90 degree mark triggers anything?
    The other theory I have is that there's some dust blocking the intake and when the lid is opened wide, the air is somewhat obstructed by the bottom of it.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    You may have diagnosed the problem.
    (The other theory I have is that there's some dust blocking the intake  and when the lid is opened wide, the air is somewhat obstructed by the  bottom of it.)
    I would take off the bottom cover and see if there is any offending material.  If not, then the Apple store genius bar should be your next destination.
    Ciao.

  • System temperature at 90C in Portege R700

    When I switch on my Portege R700 and immediately open the Toshiba PC health program (monitoring the sensors) it shows the CPU temperature to be very low, of course, while the System temperature is already at 90C.
    As a consequence (I think but I might be wrong) the fan spins at almost maximal speed.
    The situation does not change in time: the CPU temperature stays typically under 40C, System temperature at 90C, fan always spinning fast.
    Is this normal? The Cooling test program says everything is fine.

    Hi
    First of all I have to say that many 3rd party tools does not read the temperature values correctly. If the notebook does not shut down automatically, then the temperature is not too high. There is a internal hardware protection which would shut down the notebook to prevent the hardware from damage.
    But of course, the fan might run faster if the temperature is higher. This is nothing unusual. As suggested by Jeka. Try to clean the cooling vents using compressed air spray.
    In very rare cases the temperature might be higher if fresh air cannot circulate due to clogged cooling grilles.
