Temperatures inside my laptop

[MatthewHirst]

My laptop seems to be burning up very fast, and is getting really hot.

Should my tempreatures be so high?

Thanks,
-Matt.

Do you use notebook on your lap, this will make the notebook overheat.

Also using very resource-intensive programs can make the processor work much harder--heating things up.

wow , those temps are high , give the fan ports a good blow with compressed air, are any of the exhaust ports blocked ? try using a 3rd party app to control the fan speeds i use a prog called I8kfangui

My fan is on the bottom of my laptop, so when it's on a hard surface, it is unable to get the air out :/
Apart from the cooler stand, is there anything that will raise my laptop up, so the air will be able to get through?

when im using my laptops i have them placed on a square ashtray about 25cm high it allows plenty of airflow, have you blown out the fans yet?

 

[MatthewHirst]

Yeah, but nothing came out, i don't smoke so i don't have an ashtray =[

You can take a look at cool mat.

use any thing that will support your laptop securely and not cover the exhaust ports and fan ports and you should be ok do a google search for a free program called speedfan , install it and set it for your fans to come on at say 50 degress , i have mine set to come on at 38 for the cpu and 45 for the gpu you may have to experiment abit to get you temps to how you want them

Thanks for the feedback

A chillpad (example) can reduce the temp by about 10 degrees. On my HP laptop I had a similar problem that I solved with a chillpad. An additional help is a 12 cell battery that is high enough to elevate the rear of the laptop and allows airflow.

would my laptop be able to take it? if you look in my system specs for my computer please?

Thanks for the feedback

you're welcome , hope you get sorted soon

You lost me. What exactly is the question?

Try applying new Thermal Compound to your processor, that'll maybe take a lot of the heat off (it gives better heat transfer between your cpu coller and the cpu it self)

Not something that most people are comforable with doing, let alone on a laptop.

I've been through this, Matt.

I'm assuming your laptop is not new.

Blowing air into the air intakes and exhaust ports, applying the vacuum cleaner hose to those ports, etc. didn't work for me. I took it to a computer repair shop where the technician did two things while I waited. He opened up the case and vacuumed out the whole machine including all the air ducts from inlet to outlet (there was quite a bit of dust in the ducts that my amateur vacuuming had failed to remove). Then he renewed the thermal paste between the processors and some heat pipe or other - I can't remember the details. The whole thing was quicker than a haircut, solved the problem and cost me £20 (I was travelling through the UK at the time).

Just a suggestion.

I bought 2 paint stirring sticks, cut them to size then glued them together and set them on the back side of my laptop. I used Vlecro to attach them easy to carry with you in your laptop bag if you have one. JAT.
Ultimately the cooler is the best solution.
If you use it on your lap or on any soft surface like on your bed or the carpet on the floor you will be amazed at how fast they will clog with fibers and dust. Fabe

If you use it on your lap or on any soft surface like on your bed or the carpet on the floor you will be amazed at how fast the temperature rises. The machine may even go into thermal shutdown to prevent damage. Laptops, despite their name, are not designed to be used on soft surfaces such as laps, beds, carpets or sleeping animals. The laptop has to rest on a hard flat surface if the air inlets are to be kept free.

Also, if you are male you might not like the temperature of your gonads being raised by the warm underside of a laptop. The male gonads are where they are to keep them cool.

Cooling your laptop

Alot of laptops trap the fan at the bottom so it is better to buy an external one. Also, these stop the fan from being blocked by the surface it is sitting on, allowing the air to circulate. Here is a guide which may help if you want to buy one.
