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.

Max temperature for PB?

Is there a max ambient temperature at which one can use a PB G4 12" ?
Being in Europe, we don't have air conditioning in our home or office.. As the temperatures climb, I'm using a fan to blow air onto my PB to keep it cooler.
Today's temperatures were 32°C ( approx 90°F ). Two years ago it was edging 120°F (in the shade). From what I can see on the Apple website, they don't mention PBs specifically, but max temps for iMacs and Cubes are 35°C (95°F ).
Should I be worried about anything over 35°C?
Cheers,
Awfers

The max. operating temperature for the PowerBook is also 35° C. I expect this is stated because when the ambient temperature rises above this level, the PowerBook cannot adequately cool itself down. If you want to err on the side of caution turn it off until the temperature drops, however I'm sure you've noticed that the case gets ice cold when a fan is directed at it - personally I wouldn't worry about it.

X2100 max CPU temperature

Hi all
Searching the SUN docs all I can find for the x2100 (mark 1+2) is the 'operating temperature' of 2-38 Degrees C. I'd like to be able to relate this to the results I get from the internal IPMI sensors- CPU and case temps.
Does anyone know the reccomended max / min temperatures for the CPU and case temp?
I know the cpu shut down safety is at 80 Deg C but I'd like to know what's the max they can safely run at for a prolonged time without damage?
What's the max temp's you'd run your x2100's at constantly?
Cheers for any repsonses :)

Look up AMD's web site for max CPU temperature for your model of CPU. The critical thresholds are wrong, the CPU max temp is definitely way lower than 80 degree C.

Max Survivable Temperature??

Can anyone tell me what's the max survivable temperature for the late 2008-2009 unibody 15" MBP's?By max survivable I mean as hot as it can get without the parts (especially the graphics card and CPU) cooking up and dying.

Those are both great. I also have Hardware Monitor. That will monitor everything going on inside and even charts it. It's a great diagnostic utility. You can try the demo. It costs $9.00 to register, but I think it's worth it--especially if you like monitoring things.

Is there an utility for monitoring cpu/gpu temperature and fan speed for desektop m9200T?

My desktop computer m9200T running Win7 Home Premium crashes often. It seems to be temperature related.
I had tried SpeedFan, but my computer crashed everytime I ran it. SpeedFan window scrolled 20 some lines of text than the computer crashed. Is there an utility for monitoring cpu/gpu temperature and fan speed for desektop m9200T?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Only have one temperature monitoring application running or you could end up with erroneous readings.
Try PC Wizzard. Depending on your hardware, you should see temperatures for CPU, GPU and disk. At the same site you can also try HW Monitor.
I am running a custom motherboard and it comes with its own software for this purpose. HW Monitor seems fairly complete.

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.

What is the normal temperature for a MacBook Pro?

I have a mid 2010 2.4 ghz core i5 Macbook Pro. And i fell that the temperatures get really hot, i installed a application to check and the temperature of my machine is around 90 degrees Celsius after just using it for 15 mins and thats in higher RPM (4000 while default if 2000). Is that normal?

I.ahuja,
“normal Web surfing” can be GPU-intensive; for example, watching videos is a GPU-intensive task.
Regarding the benefit, again, it depends on one’s typical use. If you run apps which are disk-bound, then replacing the HDD with a SSD would be of benefit.

GPU heatsink for 8710w with FX 3600

Hi
My laptop p/n is KE191EA#AK8
I'm looking for a GPU heatsink for my laptop, the old one has 1 broken heatpipe and it gets quite hot.
HP Tech support personnel keep repeating the same message over and over again.
"The correct part number is 450594-001"
This part is the incorrect one, there is no doubt about it. I ordered the **bleep** part and it is not the same as the original. There are two key differences. The first one is that there is only a single heatpipe, my machine runs too hot with the current one heatpipe configuration. The second difference is that the plate that is pushed against the chips is different, and it won't cover all of the chips.
Replacing the part with that one could cause permanent damage to my computer, so I'm not going to even try using it.
(Sorry if I'm a bit frustrated, but I've been over this matter 5 times now..)
What is the correct part, anyone please!?
My laptop has the FX 3600 GPU if that makes any difference.

How do you plan on using a PCIe card with a laptop? Via a Thunderbolt PCIe adapter? I can't help with that. In fact, I didn't think those adapters were even out yet.
I do have a Mac Pro and I use the NVDIA Quadro 4000 For Mac. This works great for Premiere Pro. As good as the 4800 and for less money. Check out this comparison.

Lenovo N200 3000 gpu temperature

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.

T420 CPU/GPU Temperatures 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.

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....

GPU temperature 98 deg C

My new MSI N580GTX Twin Frozer II (O/C edition) is hitting GPU temperatures of 98 deg C. Is this too hot for a GPU?
Seems a bit high to me. Also, the fan speed is always at 100 % when playing a 3D game. I have not messed with any overclocking and running the card at factory settings. Its annoying because the card is supposed to be 19 deg cooler than the reference design. Even in Windows the card is 50 deg C.
I'm also wondering if the way the card vents heat into the PC case is a bad idea, because other parts such as the CPU and PSU is going to have a hard time keeping cool as well. Other cards vent heat out of the PC case.

Quote
The hint is that releasing heat back into the case, rather than venting out is a design flaw. I had to use a solution to let cold winter air into the room, so the card is not recycling the warm air in the case.
A GPU card by design, is normally positioned horizontally once inside the case. How do you expect two fans on the card to vent to the outside ? By means of a sealed fan unit with an exhaust pipe of some sort, to the back ? How much thicker do you want the total card to be to achieve that ? Its not a design flaw, its rather a restriction in GPU design because of component standards and maximum dimensions. If your case is unable to expel the warm air, then its inevitable that the warm air is recycled again and again, and the temp will keep on rising.
Quote
also the mobo is a BTX and its hard to get a case for it.
Most mid tower cases have got the mounting holes for ATX, mini ATX, ITX and BTX these days.
Your case intake and outflow volume should at least surpass the volume of air moved by the 2 GPU fans.
Quote
Thanks for the info but the manufacturers doesn't say anything about which PC case the 580 was designed for, or that it was meant for home builders with special cases.
No it doesn't, nor does any GPU card say that. The manufacturers expect some user discretion with regards to that. They also don't say that you shouldn't put it inside an oven. It's logical that the airflow inside the case should be commensurate with the GPU's typical power draw, in the case of the 580, that could be around 250W under load. Ever touched a 100W incandescent globe ? Power consumption is directly related to heat. Thus logic will dictate a sensible volume of cool air to keep things in check.
It's your set-up and you need to make the decision. We can only advise. Ultimately you will do what you will do, and it seems, that includes using every argument in the book not to consider the advice that you came for in the first place.

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.

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
Solved!

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!!!

Normal temperature for NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT

Hi, what is the normal temperature for NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT when on notebook I use only word, or some programs, no play games.

Quote from: Mike on 01-February-10, 11:02:34
normal depends on the environment, the ambient temperature. Is it hot where you use it? Do you use it on a hard surface or place it directly on your lap or some cloth type surface. There are quite a number of variables. What temperatures are you noticing?
if I work with word or use internet the temperature is about 55*C
