DELL LATITUDE E6430 I5 pro

[2009joseph]

ok guys here is the results from my dell diagnostics test see what u think between fan rpm and cpu temps. just cant find out how to keep the fan on at low temps at 3600rpm then flat out when gets hot.

 

[2009joseph]

what u think guys any ideas

Hi,
I believe going into the 70c+ range is a bad thing
Take some pictures of the bios settings you show.

what you think of the pics i have posted

I do know dell all-in-ones are made to run at lower & higher temperature then desktop. Since, an all-in-one is like a laptop, I assume dell laptops are made to run at lower & higher temperatures.

Download your specs from the dell website, it should list a maximum higher & minimum low temperature. I looked at those temperature, they do seem a little high but check the specs first. I know my all-in-one runs high but I have it turned on for 16 hours or more a day.

I let the other posters decided if you should replace than fan(s).

Well it looks like the fan is accelerating when it gets to the max temp 85c so I guess this machine just doubles as space heater :/

That for the record is 185 degrees :shock:

i just dont know how to get these temps down.do u think if i put the twin copper pipe heatsink into it instead of the one thats in it which is a single copper pipe will it help.dell pisses me off when i cant increse the fan rpm the way i want to

not sure if these temps are ok cant see on dell webpage if its ok or not.no good having a laptop that is going to fry itself

I agree but even at 70c it's running within it bios settings between 65c and 85c very weird yes,
If it's in warranty send it back tell them it's really a space heater.

I received one too once it was unbearable to use.

Do u think if I get on the dell chat will they send me software to set fan speeds myself. Did u ever think the twin cooler upgrade is a great idea

How hot is the air coming out of the machine?

TBH it's not that warm that it's 2 hot I could hold my hand there no problem and the bottom is warm not crazy hot.this dell e6430 I have using it looks nearly new with few scratches on the lid other than that it's class. I pulled the back off it and keyboard looked around the fan and it's clean. Pity dell did not make the fan separate from the heatsink so easy to take off without the heatsink

its warm tbh but im just going by the temp numbers. bottom seems warm but not crazy hot though

Actually I think sending it back is a great idea
Upgrading the cooler is if you are stuck with it.

This doesn't add up. If the unit is running hot the case should reflect that. And if the fan is doing its job the exhaust air should reflect the heat. It may be that your sensors are messed up, or the bios.

The fins must be thoroughly clean. The fan must be spinning freely. The thermal paste has to be good. Those are the basics. Having the right drivers - and not having ghost drivers - can help. Having enough RAM can keep the HD cool. An SSD will keep temps down a little.

i loaded on the new bios on this and its got 8gb ram and a sandisk extreme pro 480gb new ssd.i took it apart and cleaned the fans myself i even did a dell test on the fan with back off and keyboard up so i can see it spins great with no noise.im sorta thinking my last call is new cpu paste and then god knows.the guy sold me this laptop told me the laptop is serviced and dont need that as all has done to it new cpu paste as well.as i bought it from him and he seemed really sound.also yep the bottom of the base is cool to touch all good there 2 just those numbers puts me off

If the cpu is hot, but nothing else, it could mean the paste job got messed up.

might try that all right.i was chatting with dell no software to make fan go faster and any 3rd party software wont work.i was thinking what if i soldered into the main board beside the power jack a fan control and connect the fan up to that

funny enough i took off the back asap and put my finger on the cpu heatsing and was not that bad dont know why im getting those numbers

Four possibilities. The heatsink is not receiving the heat, the cpu or its sensors is defective, the motherboard is not reporting correctly, or the bios is defective. A repaste will eliminate the first, a known-good replacement cpu the second. You could try a dif bios version for the last. And that leaves the third.

you are right buddy im going to do that but might upgrade the heatsink to the twin pipe one.sould that be better.after the paset is good im just going to leve it it can then blow up then for all i care then lol.well i cant thank you enough because dell online was not much chat.i said about it they told me always have the bios updated to the newest
