What is operating CPU temperature on your Portege R500 ?

I have an Portege R500 series notebook with U7600 processor, and would *like to know what other users average operating temperature is for normal desktop use* i.e. word processing, watching DVDs/youtube, surfing the net, etc.
I'm asking because I've recently bought a second-hand dock (port replicator ii), and also upgraded the OS on the laptop. It seems to me that there may be a problem, because under heavy usage (compiling software) the performance seems to degrade on the machine - only solution seems to be to power off the machine and leave it off for a few minutes.
Even when I'm not doing anything heavy - such as typing this post, the CPU temp lingers in the high 80's (celcius).
I've seen on the forums that other people have had problems with overheating on this laptop model. My machine is about three and a half years old. I've opened it up and cleaned the fan with compressed air, and verified that it actually spins when powered on. However, I don't feel much airflow if I put my hand next to the exhaust when it's on.
Can someone confirm if the exhaust is supposed to s u c k or expel the air? Can you confirm your average CPU temps? Anyone know of issues with the dock that cause overheating?
Thanks in advance!

So, after finding this page on the internet:
http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2006/01/04/toshiba-laptop-overheating/
I decided to take my laptop apart to see if there was anything obviously wrong with the cooling solution. The first time I noticed the fan was covered in dust; I cleaned it with compressed air. But this didn't seem to make much of a difference.
I then removed the fan and noticed that the thermal interface material seemed really 'worn out'. i.e., it was spread thin on the CPU, and there were solid chunks around the surface of the cpu, where there is no contact with the heatsink. So I wiped it all off and put some coolermaster compound I had used on my desktop PC.
The result was obvious: 60C idle, and a max of 73C with both cores at >50%.
The other thing worth mentioning is that I noticed that keeping the laptop lid closed when it's on the dock 'traps' the heat, and raises the temp by a good 5C. So now I make sure I always keep it open.
Hope this will help anyone else having the same problem.
*I'd still be interested to know what other users temps are* , for comparison.

MSI Neo2 users, cpu temperature!!!, please post yours!!!

Hi Guys
for the MSI Neo2 865PE users,i want to know, what is your guys cpu temperature while your computer is idle and stressed/underload.
my rig:
MSI Neo2-S (bios ver.1.0) P4 2.4C @stock speed with stock heatsink fan
ATI Radeon 9500 Pro (not oc'ed)
80 GB WD and 60 GB Seagate HDD
Antec 1080 AMG with 430Watt psu

and,
i'm using pcalert4, and it shows:
CPU idle=45 Celcius
CPU when playing games=60 Celcius
System Temperature = 29-32 Celcius
please post yours, please... because, i think it is too hot for p4 to have that kind of temperature.
thank guys!!!

I am wondering how accurate the sensors are on these boards.
I don't think MSI (nor any other manufacturer) has a step to calibrate the temperature sensors, so the answer is - not much
They are just relative temp readings, and probably vary from board to board.
Quote
system temp. Board readings are from 39c to 43c but the air temp coming out the back 120mm fan is 31c to 33c.
Air cooling is achieved by transferring heat from hotter components to the cooler air. This will raise the temperature of the exhaust, but never higher than your hottest component. It actually depends where the sensor is located. If you put a card on the PCI slot above the Winbond chip, you would probably observe higher SYS temperatures.

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.

Normal CPU temperature range

I'm curious if anyone knows what the normal CPU temperature range is for a Macbook? I just installed istatpro so I can now check it. The current CPU temp is 140F and the fan is at 1,500 rpm. At what temp does the fan kick into a higher speed?
Thanks for the help.

The normal range is about 30º-85ºC depending upon CPU and GPU loads. Maximum is 125ºC at which point thermal shutdown occurs (your machine will shut down.) The fans change speed with temperature according to a hard-coded table (not firmware encoded.) The older Core Duo laptops such as yours have a lower fan idle speed than the newer models. Although not supported by Apple you can install third-party software that can be used to increase the fan's idle speed - Fan Control or SMC FanControl. Use at your own risk. The subsequent laptop models now use an idle speed around 2,000 RPM which tends to keep the machines a little cooler. However, this has no effect on when the fan will ramp up to higher revs. The software only raises the idle speed.

What is the CPU usage of X and cpu temp on your Arch?

I just installed the new arch 2009 02. Everything seems to be perfectly out of box, I have lxde DE.
But I noticed that in idle X is using around 2~3% cpu compared to below 1% in the old Arch I had before. It seems there is a little lag in the desktop experience, not obvious though, but not as responsive as my old Arch. Also the cpu temperature under lm_sensors gives me 43 constantly compared to 39 in my old Arch?! This is not some random sample of temperature, I constantly monitored it to realize it indeed runs hotter.
Also, when I open one mplayer, it uses 40% cpu + 20% for X. If I open 2 mplayer, fan will go noisy and cpu hit full and both videos become choppy! This never happened in my old Arch. I search the forum for quite a while, but have not found exactly the reason.
Some help or information? Greatly appreciate it.:D

Shuttle XPC sn68sg2
Athlon x2 5200+ 2.7Ghz

Hmm interesting. How old was the "old arch" you are talking about?
Because if it was quite a while ago that you ran Arch and recorded those temperature readings, I might wonder if your hardware is aging or dust is gathering inside your computer case, decreasing air flow and increasing temperature.
My laptop also runs almost constantly around 43 degrees and about the same at X idle. This seems normal to me though.

Portege M400 - High CPU temperature

Hi,
I'm having a problem with CPU temperature in my M400 (Vista OS). When I power up computer, initial temperature is around 35C, but after about 15 minutes of work it jumps to 60C and stays there.
Last night reached 80C and that really concerned me. I tried anything from upgrading BIOS (v3.6) to changing power options in Vista.
I don't know if this is actually funny, but a few days ago I placed a pack of chocolate next to cooler (about 10 centimeters away) and after 5 minutes I noticed it started to melt. :(
Please help! Any suggestion is welcome!
Regards,
Jovan

Hi Jayjay,
I haven't experienced any unusual shut downs so far. The only problem was keyboard buttons overheating. After using computer in tablet mode keyboard would become pretty hot.
However, as you suggested, I used vacuum cleaner on my computer and the situation is quite better now. Idle temperature is 44C-47C, while during high performance it goes up to 70C. The good part is that when I leave the computer idle for few minutes it automatically drops down to default 44C-47C (not like before).
Now, I can't be absolutely sure how I managed to do this, but it definitely has something to do with Toshiba Power Saver, which is only like "add-on" to Vista's power management. There is an option that sets CPU to Cooling optimized mode. The down side of this story is that my cooler is really noisy now but I don't care much! :)
Thank you for your help!
Regards!

Mac Pro 8-core X5365 CPU temperature

I've got an 8-core Mac Pro which is crunching SETI@home 24/7, with Hardware Monitor monitoring the CPU temperatures and other vital stats. After reading the Intel Quad-Core Xeon Proc datasheet, I'm a little edgy about the operating temperature of these X5365 CPUs, currently registering at 65 - 70ºC on load for each temperature diode, and fail-safe temperature set to 73ºC to disable SETI@home via Hardware Monitor. I also have smcFanControl speeding up the fans because my ambient temperature varies thanks to myself being in a tropical region, my ambient temperature can reach 33ºC at times, but down to 28ºC when air-conditioned.
My question is, what is the maximum temperature for these CPUs before they run into the risk of being fried/permanently damaged..?
Inputs from the Mac Pro-DC/grid community are also welcomed here.
Thanks.

my 8-core is running seti 24/7 since may without any problem, although my ambient temps dont rise above 30 degrees centigrade...and that's using the optimised apps which make the processor run hotter
the fans on the machine run 600-2000 rpm all day and all night, i dont expect it to lessen the life of the machine whatsoever. it should be capable of running flat out all its life, that is, after all why we spend so much on these machines in the first place !
if you only use 4 cores perhaps you should buy a 4-core mac ? he heh just joking...
as mentioned earlier, when things get really too hot the OS will shut the system down, and if that doesnt happen then the cpus themselves will shut down...
the heatsinks and fans on these machines are fully capable of coping if your macine is running withing the specified ambient temp range which for the mac pro is 10° to 35° if your seeing ambient over 35 then smc fan control is probably a good idea otherwise it should be fine

CPU Temperature

Hello,
I have a 17" G5 iMac that we purchase just about this time last year. I guess I am just missing the right spot for the info as I have searched around. What I would appreciate knowing is what is the safe temperature operating range for the CPU and HD in this computer? I do have the Temperature Monitor application in the Dock to keep track of its temp cycles. I tried to find if Apple had a tech sheet on this but I was unable to find anything along that line either. TIA

a brody, Zorana, et al-
I have to chime in and agree with you on all of your points there a brody. A good UPS will pretty much negate your unplug-it advice but is a good practice anyway to conserve the precious energy expense.
Tis an age old debate. My attitude is buy and use what you need and how you need it until it wears out. If you expect it to last more than a year than buy the coverage.
There is a reason that Apple will only cover your computer for a total of three years from the day it was brand-spanking-new!
Read the user's manual. If it says shut the thing down when you are done using it then do it. If you need it on 24/7 do it. If it annoys you at night then either shut it down or adjust the environmental acoustics as best you can.
Always remember, however, that if you leave it on 24/7 and are not always around and have important stuff on it, then at least log off and password protect your stuff from potential prying eyes.
Peace.

CPU temperature seems rather high

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad R61, and my temperature under normal load seems to stagnate around 50 degrees Celcius, which seems kind of high. When put under heavy load (compiling a kernel) it steadily rose to around 66 degrees celcius before I stopped the operation. While under heavy load, /proc/acpi/ibm/fan reported 3202, and under normal load now it reports 3125. Is it just me, or this CPU temperature kind of high? What can I do about it?
PS: Because it's a thinkpad, I can't use lm_sensors. thinkpad_acpi module takes care of such things.

Hah, IME laptops = heaters.
Even my dinosaur P2 celeron lappy gets to 70C CPU under load BEFORE the BIOS turns on the fan.
I think the idea is to hold off running the cooling as long as possible so cpuidle/speedstep can allow the chip to cool before using battery to run the fan.
As for the AC adaptor heating up, this smacks of poor design, the PSU should be able to maintain full load + battery charging for at least as long as a full charge from empty takes. Anything else is cutting corners based on 'yeah but how often will THAT happen'.
If your ACPI setup is not doing what it should, power consumption + heat output will be excesive under no/low load but full load power is full load power, as there is nothing to turn off.
My attitude would be, set up acpi and speedstep then ignore the temps. If it cooks under load then the hardware cooling solution is rubbish.
Seriously though, your temps sound quite normal. Look up the specs for your CPU on processorfinder.intel.com (or the AMD equivalent) you will probably be surprised at how high the max temperatures are. As for the AC adaptor - Don't run full speed while the battery is charging? The damn thing should be designed to handle it.
Do try and keep the HDD cool if you can - it is spinning down when not used right? Modern HDDs generate a fair bit of heat themselves when running and there ain't much airflow around the disc in most laptops.
EDIT: your HDD temps look sweet.
Have you played with laptop_mode?

K9N Platinum - Wrong CPU Temperature in BIOS

Hi, I have a K9N Platinum (7250-020) with the latest 1.3 BIOS and an AMD X2 3800+. The CPU Temperature in the BIOS has a negative sign in front of it, and it seems to always report -48*C. I tried the latest nVidia nTune and it was reporting the CPU temperature to be 208*C, which is absolutely impossible...
Does anyone have the same problem? I searched around and it seems I'm not the only one, but I still cannot understand if it affects only some K9N Platinums or all...
Thanks.

I assume you are talking about checking voltages as reported by the BIOS in the HW Monitor page, not physically checking them with a multimeter, correct?
I'll take a look at the numbers in the BIOS, but last time I checked they were ok.
As for raising the issue with MSI, eventually I will, even if they ask you soooooo many questions (for good reasons, I know...) that it would take me half an hour to fill that form...
I've checked with both and software is a little out from what a multimeter state's. Only check with a multimeter if your happy to do so. http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=137886 offer good advise if using a multimeter .....
The only issue I see is the AUX connector for 3.3v with ATX2.0 spec (Modular cables etc)

TheCleaner:
CAUTION: This test involves using probes with the computer ON. Please only do this if you feel competent enough to be dealing with electricity. If you short rails, you could risk damaging the PSU and possibly your components. I cannot be held responsible if something goes wrong, this is merely a guide. If you feel any concern, please post BEFORE doing this, and I will be glad to help.
Contacting MSI would be good to let them know of the problems your having

CPU temperature is too high in Solaris 10 sun fire v890 machine

Hi,
I just installed Solaris 10 on a sun fire v890 machine. I used the prtdiag -v command to check the system.
However, It appears to me that the CPU temperatures is higher than the temperature range specified in the technical specification. The server is a standalone node that does not connect to the network or process anything.
Is it a problem? Thank you.

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.

Apparently this is a known issue and a beta me7 bios has been released.
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162107.0
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.

Safe CPU Temperature?

Well, now I have the newly released Intel Mac version of the iSta Pro widget that can show temp on the intel CPU's and drives.
So... what is the safe temperature on the CPU and the drives ??
Thanks / Christer

While I do not have an Intel iMac, my Core Duo BlackBook runs at about 60°C under light load and into the low 70s under heavier workloads.
I read that the maximum temps for the Core Duos was 100°C and I your Mac has sensors that will shut it down well before any damage occurs.

What is operating CPU temperature on your Portege R500 ?
