Y730 Game Zone Temp and Fan Speed Display

I've got a Y730 that I'm having issues troubleshooting. Currently the fan runs full speed and the display for Fan Speed and CPU temp on the Game Zone don't register anything. I've tried running some apps that are suppose to read and display fan information and they also don't pick anything up.
I'm a little confused about what is going on because both the temp and the fan speed aren't displayed. Does all this information come from the fan or could there be something else that is causing the issue?

USB operations involves quite a bit of CPU action, Elphidieus.
Firewire places less demand on the CPU but, in a situation like the one you describe can involve both increases in power usage and in HD temperatures.
The fan speeds on Macs are not simply responsive to CPU usage. Both HD temps and power usage can also play a part in the equation that ultimately produces the fan speed. As HDs have much lower heat tolerance than CPUs you will find that it is quite common to see the fans ramp up when doing a large file transfer over FW (or USB, for that matter) , especially if the internal HD temp gets to over about 50-55º Celsius.

Is there a free app that allows me to show cpu temp and fan speed in menu bar?

i want a free app that monitors cpu temp and fan speed and can display them in the menu bar of my MBA

AMD Athlon 64 3000 Idle temp and Fan Speed needed.

Does anybody out there know what the CPU idle temp and fan speed should be? My Core Center shows 28C and 3308 rpm. Not sure if this is correct.

I'd be dancing on top of whatever if I got a 28C idle....

Satellite P750-10R idle temp and fan speed

I have just received a P750-10R and I am wondering if the idle temp and fan speed is normal. I do not have it on eco mode and the processor is at around 50 on core 1 and 47on core 2. According to the Health Monitor the fan runs at 71% speed which is rather loud in my opinion.
The ambient temp here is not very high, maybe 21-23 celcius.
Does anyone have a similar model that behaves the same way?
Regards,
Danel

Small update on the issue.
Switching to eco mode will shut off the fan for a short time. Switching back from eco mode puts the fan immediately at approx. 67% speed, no matter what is running at the time. Fan doesn't seem to run at any speed under 67% but can go higher.
Could it possibly be the recent bios update? I didn't run the computer for very long on the bios it shipped with, so I haven't got a comparison base between the two versions.

USB/FireWire usage increases CPU temp and fan speed

Hi,
I'm curious, does the usage of USB and FireWire ports increase CPU temperature and fan speed...?
I have an M-Audio Fast Track USB interface plugged in and whenever I play any songs from iTunes using that interface as an output, my CPU temp increased and fan speed jumped from 2000 to 3300 rpm. And on separate occasion, an 8GB of file transfer from an external FireWire-based HDD had both fans speed up to 4,400 rpm.
Is this normal...? All these were done with an external display plugged onto the MBP with "clamshell" mode.

Weired voltage cpu temp and fan speed readings

Built this system last week when i install core center I get no 3.3 v readings. cpu temp plays between 18c to 60c and the fan speed from 800 t0 6000rpm. Check in the bios all voltage readings are fine but cpu temp and fan readins can be way off. Also installed lastest versions of mbm and get the same results. Flashed bios to latest version also. Cool and quiet is not activated. Weired thing everything runs fine. motherboard k8t neo2 cpu amd 64 3500 memory corsair 3200LL 1024 video card BFG 6800gt sound Audigy 2 hard drive WD 120 sata liteon dvd rom and cd-r power supply Antec 480watt neo power Everything is at stock speeds with all latest drivers and xp sp2. Don't know what can be the problem. Please help not the first systeme I have built but first time I encounter this problem. Tried 3 different psu for testing and get the same result.

Well sorry to say I solved the problem for good. Contacted MSI support. Only answer I got was Maybe the board was bad. Got it exchanged from the store and got an Asus av8 deluxe rev.2 instead. Everything runs fine. It was my first MSI board and sad to say it gave me a lot of headaches and configeration problems. The new setup ran great on the first try. Don't think I will buy MSI again in the near future.

CPU Temp and Fan Speed

Hi
According to SMC Fan Control and iStat my CPU is running at 74C currently and often 90C under light load with associated fan speed of 6200 rpm. I have checked activity monitor and very little load on CPU jsut safari and Activity Monitor have any significant usage ( 10% ish). Is this a 'normal' CPU temp and if not are there any ways to check cooling or in crease cooling, ultimately to keep the fan low and noise down,battery life up??
many thanks

thanks for the response.
'All processes' is selected - showing 50-70% CPU idle. MacBook has good ventilation, sitting on a hard table. I upgraded the HD a while ago, to a 7200 rpm 320GB unit, would this make a difference?

HELP - Temp and Fan speed (3500???) questions

I have 3 questions:
1) What should be the "normal" CPU temps (idle and loaded), lets say for room temp around 25 C and a normal case, with 1 fan
2) Can I trust the temperature readings of the mailboard (in Windows)
3) What should be the normal CPU fan speed, with all Cooln'quiet features off?
Thanks! Help!

1) around 40-55 for load and 28-45 for idle
2) sometimes, about 70-80 per cent is accurate
3) about 1000-2000rpm

K7N2GM-L 6777 BIOS doesnt correctly detect CPU temp and FAN speed

Hello,
I use a K7N2GM-L 6777 mobo with a amd 1800+ and a arctic copper silent 2tc.
the mobo isnt able to detect the right cpu temperature and cpu fan speed in bios.
did anyone experienced that problem??
i already updated to the latest bios V1.6 but no change !!
the cpu temp is shown about 6°C/42°F and the fan speed is 0 rpm !!!
but the system temp is shown correctly (21°C/69°F (when i just started the system))
any idea
greetz,
fba

Hello!
It has been heard of before, yes, but your board is rather new so I don't think it has had an issue yet.
There is normally a sensor on the processor. If it does on your processor I can't say. If there isn't a sensor on the processor, or if it is covered with thermal grease, or otherwise damaged, BIOS and all programs that read BIOS data will be wrong.
Bit off: I'm speculating in that HSF, and I wonder how good and quiet it is. Been recommended by a store nearby.

Best widget or program for monitoring temps and fan speed

i have a mbp 2.26 duel with a 256mb Graphics card and 1gig ram. I'm running the latest version of tiger but i can't get a widget to read my temps or fans. does anyone have recomendations?

Hi cycleman22;
May I welcome you to the Apple Discussion Forums
I use one called iStat avaialble here.

I have about 97% directoryservice cpu usage, 55% cpu usage, high temps and fan speeds with very minimal activity on my macbook, how can I resolve this?

Recently my computer has only been showing 42% idle when im doing absolutely nothing on the computer, i'll only be browsing the internet. Even when I shut down programs such as drop box, skype, itunes, etc. When I check activity monitor the only process that is using over 5% is directoryservice, and it is usually sitting between 90-99% usage. I downloaded istat which is showing my cpu temp at 77 degrees and fan at 4000 rpm. If I watch a youtube video it will kick into 6000 rpm. Please tell me how I can resolve this issue!! When I restart the macbook it seems to work for about 10-20 minutes where I can browse with ~90% idle and ~2000 rpm.

I discovered this issue independent of this thread, and can confirm that killing KiesWifiAgent will instantly take care of DirectoryService's high CPU load. You'll also free up a bunch of memory. On my MBP (8 GB RAM), Kies had leaked its way to consuming 1.5 GB of memory.

Normal temp and fan speed?

Hello!
I recently took apart my 13" inch MBP 2,26ghz, and forgot at first to connect the fan (doh!).
But I shut off the computer when I noticed that it got hot and Istat menus didn't show any fan rpm.
Once I plugged the fan back in, it's always running at 2000rpm with very slight variations. Temp's around 45-58, medium usage (safari, vlc, transmission, mail etc.) and with charger a bit more.
Is this normal? I mean with the rpm and temps? I'm not too experienced with hardware stuff.
Thanks!

Ah, I see. Well, you're in a real mess now, because the keyboard is part of the MBP's top case and can't be removed for cleaning, and a lot of other parts below it are attached to the top case by those screws you stripped. So you're going to have to pay a technician to make the repairs you can't afford (probably a replacement top case), in addition to the extra cost of extracting the stripped screws. Depending upon how difficult that proves to be, you're likely to be facing a repair bill of $500 USD or more.

Video Chat causes high temps and fan speeds

My MBA 13 base model heats up very quickly while video chatting on gmail and the fans come one at about 7000rpm. Anyone else experience this? it drains the battery extremely fast. I use istat nano to monitor the mba. Is this normal? any thoughts or remedies?

Temperature and Fan speed? screen freeze

I Have 2011 MacBook Pro 13inch . I was having the screen freeze issue from a hot graphics card it cpu that so many others have with this year macbook. After a night of playing videos (not realizing it was in loop) connected to my hd tv using thunderbolt. After the first one it happened a few more time after playing any video for a few minutes. Screen freeze with little pixelated boxes, yellow or blue. After some research I reset SMC and seems sit of fixed it. I am not running SMC FAN AND Temperature Monitor apps and my fans run about 2000 all the time. When I get hit it speeds up but not to much, seems on point. Except when I play hd videos the system get gets to 75-80c . I still have not had the freeze but that's because I have temperature monitor to launch SMC fan set at max fan speed when it get a to 80 d
Degrees C. I'm wondering if anyone knows the safe temp the 2011 MacBook Pro should be running at When playing hd video. I know it gets hotter when playing hd video by without SMC it seems my fans don't kick on to max speed untill the MacBook reached about 85-90c. Once the fans max it cools it right away. I know the fans are working cause I hear them but should the fans kick on faster before it gets to that hot if a temp. And is it safe to play hd movies of its running at about 80-85c?
Thank you for any information you might have on safe and average temp and fan speeds. If anyone has a macbook pro please let me know when your playing hd video for about a half hour or more how hot your cpu is showing.

Macs have established a reputation for being inferior game machines. PC's dominate that area and if that is a high priority, I always recommend a PC.

I'm happy to know that 85-90 is normal for video but my maCOBOL did almost fry my logic board from over Heating.
I doubt that you almost' fried' the logic board, but you may have approached thermal shutdown.
I also have a 2011 MBP and have run applications that are CPU/GPU intensive with no issues (the MBP certainly does heat up and gets very warm). I have never felt the need for a third party fan control.
If you wish to run games a lot, a cooling pad and a cool environment would help the situation.
Ciao.

Satellite C855 - Average CPU temperature and fan speed

Hello!
I've had this toshiba Satellite C855 since march this year. it's only recently that the CPU temp and Fan speeds have been worrying me.
When I'm not playing games or doing a livestream my CPU temp stays around 35-40% with the fanspeed at steady 50% or not on at all due to it been cool.
When I do play games however the fanspeed is going up to around 66-68% with the CPU been around 55-60%
I was wondering if this is normal? or do I need to clean it out by taking it apart. if it is the second option then I am worried since I do not want to damage anything inside. plus I am not that great with the inner workings of a computer.
Any help or information would be very appreciated thanks.

In my opinion there is no reason for panic. T is logic that under stress CPU activity is higher and CPU produces more heat. Notebook must be cooled down properly so sensors that control cooling fans register growing temperature and cooling fans will run on higher speed.
There is no reason for cleaning. And one day if that must be done please dont do it alone. You are not authorized for doing this.
