Is my Toshiba Satellite C665 over heating?
While scanning a 167 MB driver file for nVidia graphics core-temp exceeded 60°C limit.
60° C was my limit (not knowing anything about core temperature)
The fan has been running for the last 20 minutes.
Max temp (60°C) was exceeded while scanning the 167 MB exe file.
I suspect the fan etc needs a clean, after 11 months of continual use.
Recently watched a how-to-clean tutorial with dread, having never cleaned a laptop in my life.
Cleaning this Toshiba Satellite is like taking the engine out of a car to empty the ashtray.
(Screen comes off, keyboard out, CD/DVD drive out PLUS lots of bits and pieces
(not simple like my retired Acer laptop
How critical are the temps (Dual core) currently sitting on 50°C and 54°C ?
I am about to update the nVidia driver because of screen refresh lagging. The current driver is old (2011)
Last thing I need mid upgrade, is a crash
Would appreciate any help :)
