| 1143875 | 2010-10-12 01:24:00 | Hi On my Toshiba A300 the CPU is a Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo P8600 @ 2.40GHz Penryn 45nm Technology 2.40 gigahertz Intel Core2 Duo P8600 64 kilobyte primary memory cache 3072 kilobyte secondary memory cache 64-bit ready Multi-core (2 total) Not hyper-threaded I've got a little app called called Core Temp 0.99.08 running in the system tray which shows the two core temperatures as about 33 when the lappy is just sitting there. However, when I did a small installation just now they maxed at 49 and 50 for a bit before dropping down to the mid 40's and then back to the 33 mark. According to Core Temp the Tj Max is 105 Is the processor behaving normally? Can't say I've heard any fan activity lately. Thanks |

| 1143876 | 2010-10-12 01:31:00 | Thats nothing, my ibook g4 has hit 80c before. My T7300 2.0ghz usually sits about 36-40c | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1143877 | 2010-10-12 01:34:00 | That's fine - my A100 idles around 40 and can get up to 75 if rendering a vid or playing a game. I'd grab speedfan, it gives a little more info. www.almico.com |

Still, keep in mind if it's hovering much over that, you may want to review your devices cooling, clean out the fans / heatsink of dust etc too |

| 1143879 | 2010-10-12 06:32:00 | its fine, my HP laptop has the most inefficient and bollocks cooling system. when its flat on the table it idles at 80, putting it on a fan leaves it a 64 (with stock coolers) me and a mate re designed the HS and fan so its around 50 idle but goes way up under load. nothing we can do though, limitations of a laptop. my desktop is fine, ones at 21 always and the others 61 max | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
