Is my computer to hot? (Screenshot)

Are the temperatures when playing games?

Here's some information about your processer: http://ark.intel.com/products/50179/...Cache-2_53-GHz)

The TJ Max (Thermal Junction) is 105'C, which is the highest temperature your CPU will run at, until it starts displaying warning messages and desperately trying to cool your CPU.

Install CoreTemp: http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/

This program will monitor your CPU's temperature and it's TJ.Max

Hope this helps,

Harry

Thanks for the quick reply x Blue Robot.

Good information that you provided I bookmarked it for future use. I have to say that unfortunately the temperature above is the temperature exactly a minute or two after closing my game down after 3 hours of playing.

I still felt like it was too hot after I shut down the game.. that's the reason why I'm asking. I know my computer has never displayed any warning messages, I sure hope I don't get to that point. So is my temperature normal typically after 3 hours playing for my laptop? I bought my computer new around March 2011.....

You could purchase a cooling pad from a PC retailer, and just in case you do, don't have your battery charging while playing games, it generates extra heat from putting strain on the battery whilst charging (:

The temps in your snip are fine. In fact fairly cool for a lappy.

Phew! That is some good news. I will be back later on today after I take a screenshot of my temperature after a little while of playing. I'm still a bit weary about this whole thing.. I want to be on the safe side.

Thanks again! Sure am happy with this piece of technology.. LOVE IT!

I was going to buy one, but I feel weird about connecting hardware device via usb while playing and charging my computer. Thing is my computer is not exactly on the "high high" end.. so when I'm playing & I don't have my charger connected my computer isn't exactly performing at it's best.

I want a cooling pad, but one that connects via socket. Any suggestions?

You can remove the battery and then just have the charger plugged into the laptop, which is what I do (:

For the cooling pad, another forum suggested purchasing a USB to AC Adapter, but also you can purchase cooling mats which contain special crystals which in turn absorb the heat from the laptop; here's the forum:

Non-USB powered laptop cooling pad? - Super User

Here's an updated screenshot...

After playing for about 20 minutes. I'll be posting more later on tonight.




Temperature is higher, very close to the 107 mark. Seems pretty high imo.. I'm taking your suggestion on removing my battery and just use my AC adapter charger, hoping that helps with the temp as well. Note, I'm not even playing on the highest settings, because if I do the laptops fans sounds crazy.

You temperatures have increased considerably, and also you can lower your maximum processor state within the Advanced Power options, which can also lower your temperature without affecting the performance to a certain extent.

If the performance is affected then change the processor state back.

Hope this helps,

Harry
