ThinkPad T61p idle GPU temperature

I have a very minimal Arch installation with Xfce and only a few daemons. Cpu usage is usally around 5-10%.
The thing is the GPU temperature idles around 60 degrees at WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution. It's an nVidia Quadro FX570M with nvidia driver installed and powermizer working. Is this normal? Is there any way I can decrease it?

That's odd. How about CPU temp? Mine is currently 39 (opera + mpd only), with intensive, but normal usage it never exceeds 50 (however I'm not talking about gaming or compiling, sure it gets hot then).
That's my current sensors output. I'm sitting in quite cold room right now, maybe that's what making few degrees of difference.

  • W700: max GPU temperature for Quadro FX3700M?

    I've recently noticed a freeze / stall problem in Direct 3D applications (mostly games) with the Nvidia Quadro FX3700M GPU of my W700 (2757) under Win XP x64 and Win 7 Pro x64. The system was running rock solid for more then 3 years, and after a lot of testing with fresh Windows installations and different Nvidia driver versions, I decided to take a closer look at GPU temperatures.
    Turned out that in idle mode GPU temps are already 65 °C and climb over 96°C under full load in the GPU testing tool from MSI (MSI Kombustor). Furmark brings it even over 100 °C (I stopped it after a few seconds).
    Are these temperatures normal for the FX3700M? I hear the GPU fan kicking in, but it may be necessary to apply fresh thermal compound for optimal cooling.
    I'd appreciate any advice.

    I downloaded TPFanControl and it is working well on my W700ds so far.  It shows all the temperatures and allows you to control the fan speed at different temperatures. 
    Before I blew the air through, I downloaded the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool from Intel.  It tests the processor and loads it up pretty hard.  It gives a differential temperature from the maximum recommended temperature.  At the start of the test my processor indicated 42 degrees below max and at the end 21 degrees below max.  Not sure what max temp is but when I first turned on the TPFancontrol it indicated my gpu was running between 78C and 81C degrees.  Since blowing air back through the fans, the highest gpu temp I saw, with the TPFancontrol running in as received setup, was about 60C. I played with the .ini file for the TPFancontrol and have mine running at a fan level 4 at 57C.  that would be without heavy use.

  • Photoshop CS4 brush cursor bug on Thinkpad T61p

    I've got a Thinkpad T61p with a Nvidia Quadro FX 570M onboard (driver version: 6.14.11.7471). There seems to be a bug with the graphics driver in conjunction with the new Adobe Photoshop CS4. Photoshop now uses GPU-optimization with more brush capabilities. Unfortunately the cursor clips when using brush-sizes larger than 64px. One can see the bug on the nvidia cs4 promotion "brush resizing" at http://www.nvidia.com/object/adobe_photoshop.html. Nvidia corrects this bug in newer driver versions, but lenovo only offers a WinXP-display-driver from 2008-04-28.
    Does anyone know any workround? I've tested somo older forceware drivers (178.24) with partial success. The display bug in Photoshop is fixed, but e.g. After Effects CS4 crashes while detecting the GPU.
    Message Edited by mikey on 10-23-2008 03:20 AM

    Today I've installed the latest Forceware Drivers 180.60 from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ to test the bug behaviour.
    The brush cursor now seems to be able to handle big brush sizes but the performance is reduced noticable.When painting inside a new document the rendering of the brush path is done after painting over the area, even when using small brush sizes.
    So let's wait until Nvidia/Lenovo roll out a new driver.

  • High CPU & GPU temperature with ATI 4870 Graphics card

    Hi I have replaced the original FX1700 card with an ATI 4870 on my S10 and I found the GPU temperature constantly floating at around 58C with no program running and the temperature of the CPU have also gone up to 47C with no programing running and 58C with program running(The temperature of the CPU was fine at under 40C before ATI 4870 was installed). Is this situation normal?
    P.S. I have not replaced the orginal fan came with my S10.
    Thanks very much for your helps

    Hi Erik you are truely intelligent I have tried the method as you suggested and now the temperature of CPU and GPU came down to 45C and 56C at idle respectively. That is really a dramatc improvement  thanks very much!!!

  • ThinkPad T61P (6460-D8G) - which SATA interface?

    Hello,
    I'd like to add a second hard disk to my ThinkPad T61P (model 6460-D8G). I came up with a couple of possibilities;
    1) Hitachi Travelstar 7K320 160gb  (model HTS723216L9A360)
     * this drive has an SATA 3GB/s interface !!!
    2) Hitachi Travelstar 7K200 160gb (model HTS722016K9SA00)
     * this has an SATA 1.5 GB/s interface, and is exactly the same model as the primary hard disk I already have.
    These two disks are of the same physical size. 
    Now, I quess the most important question here is; does my ThinkPad support the #1 drive? In other words, does this computer have an SATA 3GB/s interface? This bit of information I haven't been able to find anywhere?!
    If this ThinkPad model does NOT have SATA 3GB interface, will I still be able to connect a SATA 3GB drive to it, or should I just buy the slower SATA 1.5GB model? 
    Btw, does the Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay Adapter (model 40Y8725) also support SATA 3GB? If this computer supports SATA 3GB, can I connect the #1 drive to the adapter, or should I swap the disks so that the primary disk goes to bay adapter and the new drive replaces the primary disk inside the computer?
    Sorry if my english is not very fluent, but could someone still try and help me out here, as I just can't seem to find the answers anywhere myself...

    Solved!

    Ok, thank you for your reply, wjli2.
    I quess that solves the problem then. I can use which ever of those two drives I can get first, but will not benefit from the faster interface in drive #1.
    Too bad my retailer estimated I may have to wait for about 4 weeks to get my hands on one of those . I quess others have also found those two to be good drives.

  • Thinkpad T61p is incompatible to Windows 7 x64

    Dear Lenovo Support, i never had that kind of crap with any other thinkpad i bought. Today i tried to update my Thinkpad T61p (6457-7XG) to Windows 7 x64 which is already long enough on the market to update all drivers from your site. Remember: It has a very long beta and RC phase. Long enough to check everything is working without extra work for the user.
    Things are crap:
    1)Lack of Win7 drivers for the integrated sd-card reader.. The driver from the Homepage installs. Everything is ok in the Hardware Manager. If i plug in my card, nothing is happens. (my card is 100% ok). At this point i need to search and tryout to get this thing working.
    2)Lack of working bluetooth software. The support homepage offers v6.1.0.5100 which is definitive not working with Windows 7 x64. At this point this is not an up to date driver because the newest software is 6.2.0.9600 and is working with windows 7. If i try to download it from broadcom the setup software cancels because lenovo devices are not supported. So i need to do a workaround by myself because you are not able to fix it by time.
    3)If i plug out my ethernet cable the lenovo software tries to switch to wlan. sometimes it starts to hang and my mouse is moving by 1-2fps... same problem occurs if i deactivate my wireless device by default so it cannot switch. This bug is representable at any time. There is no possibility to save anything after it starts to hang. I need to press the power button until the system powers off.
    I also never had some high frequent beep noise in hard disk access mode until i bought the T61p.
    If i sum all things i am realy unhappy with this product. My warranty expires in 286 days and i will need a new notebook. So tell me a reason why i should by a new lenovo notebook which would be less supported with actual os versions? Will i have the same problems by updating a new lenovo product to windows 8?
    I am also wondering now why i bought a expensive lenovo product if i could buy a product with the same quality for 1000$ cheaper.. so where is this money at? It is definitive not the same quality as ibm provided it with the old thinkpads up to T60. The Thinkpad T61p is not as old to stop the driver support for new os because a lot of people still using it with a extended warranty in a productive enviroment. In this case its better to use win 7 then vista.
    Thinkpad T61p (6457-7XG)

    The company i work for got several T61 and T61p running Windows 7 x64 without any such issues. I'm not sure if you got a hardware problem or software problem, but you say that you tried to update to Windows 7. Does it mean you performed a upgrade from Vista or a clean install of Windows 7? I always suggest a clean install since i had several issues with OS upgrades in the past. So if you did a upgrade you might have some issues because of that. In that case i would suggest a clean install of Windows 7. If the problems are caused because of a OS upgrade you cannot blame Lenovo. This could be a problem for any computer whatever Brand. There is also some BIOS updates that contains some Windows 7 fixes, did you update your BIOS before the installation or did you check that you already had a pretty new BIOS version that is supposed to work fine with Windows 7?
    This is not a general problem for all T61/T61p models so it got nothing to do with low quality of the Lenovo models. There is no way you can get a computer with similar quality/spec that cost $1000 less. In that case it's either not the same quality or not the same spec. Windows 7 is supported on T61/T61p and there are drivers available that work fine. I never did a upgrade to Windows 7 and always performed a clean install. I read that several others performed a upgrade without these kind of problems though.

  • [solved] Kernel panic (?) when closing lid or undocking thinkpad t61p

    Hello,
    I have a thinkpad t61p connected to the advanced mini-dock. I also have an external monitor connected to the DVI port. When I press the "Eject request" button on the dock, the green led starts to blink and then stops blinking. After this the laptop is totally freezed, with sound looping over and over again from the speakers.
    Worth noting is that I can undock with no problems from the console (no X server running). This seems to indicate that this is an issue with the nvidia drivers?
    This seems also be the case with the laptop freezing when I close the lid while X is running.
    I'm running 2.6.30.6-1 kernel and nvidia 185.18.36-1.
    Any ideas what's causing this? Should I report this to nvidia, lenovo or ... ?

  • Lenovo Thinkpad T61p EVDO

    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T61p 6459-CTO and i didnt get EVDO (TELUS) built in with it, but i am wondering if it is a "extra" if I pay to get installed or something totally different? --

    Dude,
    I was having the same problem. You can get it to work if you go into the TCP/IP properties for your wireless connection and hard code the IP, DNS, and WINS addresses instead of letting the computer automaticall resolve them. You can get them by logging into the Verizon modem via the hardwired computer. Once you do that it works great. Also, this on;y seems to happen with my Lenovo R61 computer. All of my other computers connect fine. 

  • Lenovo N200 3000 gpu temperatur​e

    Hi there.
    I have notice that my gpu temperature is over 65 C (149 F).
    I have cleaned gpu fan and dust over the fan. Is this temperature normale for this time of year or I should visit the service.
    Thank  you for any answer.

    Does the laptop bottom feel HOT?
    My thoughts:
    Everest may be reporting wrong temp?
    GPU heatsink may need new thermal interface compound?
    Use a cooling pad.
    If you do not experience lockups and bluescreens, it may be fine.

  • Scratches on a screen of brand new ThinkPad T61p

    Hello
    I've bought a brand new (factory sealed) ThinkPad T61p (warranty valid until 2011). I've found scratches on a screen. One is almost 2 inches long and has multiple tracks. There are also other smaller scratches in different areas. I didn't even tried to turn it on and enjoy a new great piece of hardware...
    How this could be? Will Lenovo replace the LCD?
    Kind regards

    I purchased it on a polish internet auction from a private seller who bought it in the USA.
    So it looks as though the TP is third hand. Keep trying, I wish you luck, but I believe you need to address your complaint against the seller, not Lenovo.

  • MSI 560Ti HAWK GPU Temperatures Diablo 3

    Hello,
    I have a 560Ti HAWK GPU running stable at MSI factory settings with -75 core voltage from MSI Afterburner. I am running Win 7x64 with all updates to date. The video driver installed is the WHQL 310.70 from geforce.com. I have a quad core [email protected] GHZ and 4GB DDR2@800MHZ. The motherboard is an Asus Maximus II Formula. The BIOS of the GPU is 70.24.21.00.00 (P1040-0050). I recently flashed the bios with one sent to me by an admin on the site because it had the high memory issue. Flashing the BIOS only affected the memory temperature issue, the GPU temperature remained the same as before flashing.
    The GPU gets very hot while playing Diablo 3. Monitoring the temperatures with GPUZ and MSI Afterburner it shows about 89 Celsius with a max of 92. The case is very well ventilated and in other games it does not get over 75. I run Diablo at 1680x1050 with everything on high, AA on, Vsync on, Max Foreground FPS 60.
    To test the temperature and the sensors i ran MSI Kombustor for 45 minutes, with OpenGL 3, PostFX on, 8xMSAA, 1680x1050 fullscreen,  and the max temperature was 85 Celsius. The heat coming out of the card felt pretty much the same from when playing Diablo so I can conclude that the sensors are working as they should.
    I tried performing a clean install of the drivers and also uninstalling the game. Also I changed the TIM on the GPU about a week ago, it now has Coolink Chilaramic, but the temperature in Diablo didn't improve. Even after changing the TIM the temperature remained the same for other games.
    What else can I do to lower the temps in Diablo 3, is the game more GPU intensive than MSI Kombustor?
    Thanks

    Yes its possible
    what PC case you use? do you have enough space inside and proper airflow?
    have you tried tried MSI VGA drivers for the card?
    I have an Antec P182 with 2x120mm intake and 2x120mm exhaust fan with decent cable arrangement. I tried the latest MSI drivers for my GPU, 306.97 but the temps are the same in Diablo. 

  • GPU Temperature

    I have a Mac Mini from 2012 that have a high GPU Temperature, I'm using a monitoring program (Temperature Gauge) that is warning about high GPU temperature (95-97C).
    The Mac mini is placed upon a tv furniture so it has a lot of air aroound it, I've used compressed air to remove dust but still gett the high GPU temperature. Is this a comon problem and what can I do about it?

    While it may not be recommended by some here, I use > Lobotomo Software: MoofMenu (aka Fan Control) on my 2010 Mac Mini to keep it from cooking.
    Right now I'm just surfing, listing to iTunes and it's cool in the office, so the fan is only running at default speed.
    But notice what happens when I play a game or watch video. As the temp increases so does the fan speed and so it never goes much above 70 C no matter what I do.
    I use smcFanControl on my iMac's and Fan Control on my Mac Mini's and have never had a fan or graphic's failure. Personally the only draw back is that one needs to clean the air intake(s) more often, but that a small price compared to having melted Mac.

  • T420 CPU/GPU Temperatur​es seem excessive.​..

    I was running Prime95 to check my CPU (Core i5-2520M) temperature (using Real Temp) and I noticed it was a bit high, about 95 degrees celsius. I followed up by running FurMark to check how the NVS 4200 GPU was doing. It ended up sustaining at 87 degrees celsius. I did not run the two tests concurrently.
    I decided to strip the heatsink off and apply new thermal compound. After the new compound was applied, the CPU temperature under Prime 95 peaked at 84 degrees celsius. Under Furmark, the GPU sustained at 75 degrees celsius. A very significant drop. 
    I decided to run the two tests concurrently (after new compound had been applied) and ended up with a CPU temperature of 100 degrees celsius and a GPU temperature of 97 degrees celsius. Pretty horrifying stuff. I can't imagine those values being within operating range. 
    These torture tests are rather extreme so I followed up with some gaming. I played DOTA 2 for about 3 hours and during that period my CPU peaked at 98 degrees celsius with an average temperature of 93 degrees celsius. I did not log the GPU temperature during this session. 
    I should mention that Turbo Boost is enabled and the fan was set at maximum speed. 
    Does anybody have any temperature figures for similair configurations? Specifically in situations where the GPU and CPU are both under high load. I'm curious to know if my temperatures are abnormal. 

    I started to think that it's not an issue with my sample. I went ahead and confirmed these temperatures on two other identically specced T420s (4178). Under extreme conditions the heatsink/fan unit cannot dissipate heat quickly enough causing both chips (CPU and GPU) to reach dangerous temperatures. If you haven't torture tested the GPU and CPU in your T420 concurrently, you might want to give it a shot. It gets alarmingly hot.
    (Do this at your own risk, extreme heat can damage your hardware)
