Dell :: M1530ACPI Temperatures Mains Vs On Battery
Jun 14, 2009
Here's an odd one I haven't found much info on...
When gaming, I noticed that the difference between my ACPI temps on mains VS on Battery are a bit of a concern...
For the first time last last night, it shut off on me which I guessed was the lovely overheating. Anyways I know my CPU and GPU temps are great and run very cool so it wasn't to do with GPU temps etc
The only difference when the machine shut off was I was gaming on Battery - So I ran some tests and found that there is a major difference between the ACPI temps when gaming on batt than when on mains.
Temps when gaming:
On Mains of ACPI (THM) = 71c max
On Battery of ACPI (9 cell batt) = 100c +!
For info on other temps on load:
CPU max = 60c
GPU max = 72c
It's nothing to do with positioning of laptop etc as I ran the test in the same position. I'm running windows XP Pro too.
So, what causes such a massive diff in temps of the ACPI chipset comparing mains to on battery ? This is like an instant change when you pull out the mains (under load), so I've narrowed it down to batt vs mains!

Ive not had my M1730 for very long, just over a month. Its always used on mains as it doesn`t leave the house, today i accidentally forgot to plug into into the mains so it started on battery.
The battery is always in the laptop so it has 100% charge, when using it on battery everything was lethargic, when i opened a browser it would open very dim and faint and then very slowly load. Icons and photos were struggling to load on some websites.
Should the battery perform exactly as it does on mains, this one to me seems as though its showing 100% but its not giving 100% power, its like the battery only has a bit of power left in it and its struggling to open and operate things.

Is there anyway to stay on the Intel Gpu on mains power , every-time i re-boot the notebook it is on the Intel for the first 30 seconds or so and then it automatically switches to the ATI 4330 and i have to manually switch to the Intel Gpu.
I will be using the Intel 95% of the time, I only need the Ati 4330 to play Battlefield 2.

Each time I try to turn off the WiFi when connected to the mains, the unit goes into airplane mode.
1] Any work around so the WiFi is turned off IMMEDIATELY and still remain with the W540 connected to the power supply (mains)??
There has to be a way to quickly turn off the WiFi without going into battery mode.
2] Similarly, is there a way to turn off the WiFi during boot up or before the system is fully booted.
I checked the power setting Lenovo software, but I find it very convoluted for such a simple workstation task.
As an answer to the original post: On long d/l's with slow lines, I have not found anyway to turn off the screen deliberately. Closing the lid does turn off the screen, but the screen turns on when the lid is opened. Having the screen on in an hotel room is a nuisance, similarly when leaving the system on while away, and the cleaning people see the unit is turned on. I gave up, and do not travel with the W540, as I have yet to find a workaround. I do manage with my other brand workstation.

i usually leave my laptop on my desk, which is about 6 in. away from the window. lately, gpu temp has hit a low of 32 c, core temps of 16 c. i need to know if this is a dangerously low temperature to operate the computer. if i should move the desk or laptop or what.

I've owned my M1330 for a few months now, and have been very happy with it. But today, all of the sudden, things changed. I understand that a fan speeds up when a laptop gets hot, but this is not the case here.
All of the sudden today, this started happening: The fan is always on (around 3000rpm). However, the temperatures are usually low (CPU:38-50 , GPU:47-49). The laptop doesn't even get hot.
I've already cleaned the dust out of the the fans/vents, just in case.
My bios is the one that came with the laptop: A09

I recently purchased a M170 with 6800 Ultra off ebay and have been using it for the past week or so. During this time, I have noticed that the temps get quite high when running graphic intensive applications. I currently have an e1705 with a 7900GTX installed so I am familiar with the heat dissipated from a high end graphics card but the M170 seems to get very hot in comparison to my e1705. I am not sure what are considered high temps so I will just post my readings from I8kfan (these are the peak temps):
CPU: 95
GPU: 91
Mem: 77
Chipset: 80
Are these readings too high or about normal?

Alright boys 'n girls!
Considering all the debate going on about the ventilation on this system, I figured it would be best to see the sort of temperatures people are getting.
Post your HWmonitor screenies or the temps alone! Also, make sure you post what power mode you're in! Don't forget to mention whether you have the 9500 or the 9400!
Let's see those screenies!
I think after we get some temperature readings, we will be able to conclude just how bad the ventilation issue is.. if at all.

i'd like to know what kind of temps to expect from a normally working card.
What are your temps on idle (normal room temp 20c-30c)
and what are the max temp it reaches when say we run the ati tool graphical view. (Just for reference - when idle, ATI Tool reports 65c on my card, and after running the 3d view of ati tool the card will reach 104c).
I'd like everyone who has that info to post it here and i'll do the math and calculate the avarage working temp of that card.
Since different monitoring progs report different tempratures please state which program is reporting the temps.

I was encoding an 8-minute video using Premiere cs4 and my m1330 turns itself off because the GPU temp had reached 200 degree F.
I am using Windows 7 beta and latest nvidia drivers.
Has anyone been able to encode a long HD video to H.264 without it turning off after 10 minutes or so?

I know this as been covered a millions times but I can't seem to find a straight answer. But I am trying to figure out my actual temps on my overclocked 7950 at 650/800
Using I8kfangui my temps are 59 to 82c with out any temp offset
Atitool temps are Identical 59 to 82c
Nvidia Mview is the same 59 to 82c
Now I though there was an 8 degree of set for I8kfangui, but its running the same temps as everything else is this my actual temps or there still an 8 degrees offset making my temps higher?

Well people in my country is summer, and from some days (4-5 days) my Studio 1535 has annoying for me HDD and GPU temperatures.
I will attach old picture and current picture and you can compare the temperatures.
Plus the fan stays on higher speed and it just don't want to turn itself back to normal light speed mode, I guess because high HDD and GPU temperatures.

Just got my new laptop 1/2 a week ago and installed a clean 7 on it. My idle temperatures are as follows:
Processor (T9800): ~43 degrees
ATI: ~48 degrees
HDD (500 GB 7200 RPM): ~40 degrees
Motherboard: ~44-50 degrees
This is at idle! When I game for a while, all temperatures hover at ~60 degrees. Is this normal?
My old laptop with a T5750 idles at 19 degrees for the processor, does the T9800 produce this much extra heat?
Also, if other 1640 users can post their specs and temperatures it'd be great.

I got Inspiron 1525 about two months ago. From that time I have been noticing high temperatures but didn`t care much. Averest shows idle temperature 45C and on load about 82C and sometimes 90C.
I started playing WoW from this morning and the cpu fan started running on full speed after 2 minutes in the game. Also laptop turned off suddenly twice today maybe because of CPU overheat.
I already tried "SpeedFan" but it has no support for Dell motherboard. What should I do?
I live in India and ambiance temperature is high here, 20-30 C.

I haven't felt any excessive heat, but it certainly gets quite warm like most people have mentioned.
Whenever people are posting there hardware temps, i see CPUID... is that the program of choice then?
What are some good programs to monitor system temperatures?..

Recently bought a E6400 with T9600 and intel GPU. See signature for more details. I'm running windows 7 x64.
My problem is that the fan goes on "high" very quickly in my opinon. It will stay like this until i stop surfing or doing stuff. If i stop it will go down until i start work again.
I wanted to check with others what kind of experience you got with the E6400 and the fan noise. I need to use headphones while working, and using the laptop in the sofa while the wife is watching tv is out of the question!

There is something wrong with the XPS M1530. Almost every owner seems to have overheating problems and those that don't may just not realise it. It seems to happen amongst gamers. Is the overheating because we're gaming 'too much'? Should the XPS M1530 be able to cope? I have so many questions because I'm having my share of overheating problems...something which I recently feel is unavoidable...
After owning my laptop for 8 months, I only just started to monitor the temperatures after I was getting huge drops in fps while gaming after a length of time as well as some artifacting.
On the 15/12/08 which is just over 2 weeks ago I had my motherboard and heatsink/fan replaced because of the following high temperatures I would get when playing games.
After, they were replaced I played some COD4 for 30 mins or so and got the following temperatures. When I saw these temps, I thought "Awesome, my temps are finally normal".
On the 22nd, 1 week after the replacement, I monitored my temperatures as I played TF2 for an hour. As you can see, there was a increase in my max temperatures and at this point, I wondered if maybe the temps will slowly become high again.
Another week later, yesterday on the 30th, I once again monitored my temps and played L4D for 20 mins or so to find that my temps have yet again risen but this time quite a bit more.
Alright so the question is, what the hec is going on with the XPS M1530 and why do the temperatures just keep going up even after getting a new motherboard and heatsink/fan!?!? Seriously, in just two weeks, my temps have risen by as much as 10 degrees celcius! Is this some kind of hardware failure or is this normal? Is it the thermal paste that's melting away or what? What could be going wrong?

I have had my Inspiron E1705 a little over three years now.
Is there a way for me to tell what the internal temperatures are?
Sometime when on the internet, the bottom of the laptop gets very warm, and I seem to have a problem with pages loading until it cools down a bit.
About a year ago, my onboard sound quit, and Dell ending up sending a technician to my location and replaced my motherboard. Could excessive heat caused premature failure of the m/b?
Also, is there a way of manually controlling the internal fans to run more often than they do?

long time PC user and I am trying to find out, with no success so far what would be safe temperatures for the cpu i7-3632QM and for the GPU HD7730. I am a bit fanatical about taking care of my PC's so this info is important to me.

System:
CPU: Intel t7500 2.2 Ghz
RAM: 2GB 667Mhz
HD: 1 HD 5400 RPM 250 GB
GPU: Nvidia 8600M gt 512 MB ddr2
I got these temperatures by running orthos to stress the cpu, and furmark to stress the gpu at the same time. Are these temperatures normal for an Acer Aspire 5920g? Cause I find these temperatures rather high, and I'm wondering if these are safe. I already have applied some artic silver 5 thermal compound to the both the gpu and the cpu.

My friends model Sony Vaio FZ (VGN-FZ17G) which is the exact same model as mine currently ran into a hardware problem with the GPU (NVIDIA 8400M GT) which is causing his computer to crash and has since turned the GPU off and is running on board graphics. Apparently its going to cost him about 1k (AUD) as its out of warranty to fix as they need to also replace the Motherboard.
He does play quite a few games on it unlike me which I use this computer mainly for design work.
This got me thinking since I've always told him my notebook always runs reasonably hot and thus the fan goes up and down loudly which he never really experienced nor ever complained about haha.
I've just installed the speedfan application
I've had this computer up running the entire day doing basic work like internet browsing/photo viewing and Photoshop usage. Currently its idling at
GPU 75C
CORE1 70
CORE2 70
are these temperatures normal on the vaio FZ notebook models?
what are yours?
these will only go higher when playing a video game such as Left 4 Dead or video rendering with Premiere Pro if these are just basic work temps and that's a bit worrying for me.

I have been reading about the Envy 15 (as I'm getting closer to buying it). However, one thing that concerns me is regarding the temperatures.
So, how hot does it get?
Most likely, I'll be getting the dual SSD rig. For anyone who owns that, how hot does it get for you?
My setup is looking like the i7-820, 8GB RAM, 5830, dual-SSD. I have thought about going to the 16GB RAM option as well, though I doubt I need it.

I have a dv2815nr (amd turion tl-60, 1mb L2, 1600m system bus; 14.1" wxga, 3gb ram, nvidia 7150m) and it works well for me, though I wish i could play games on it better.
Anyways, I undervolted the processor to a 0.9250 VID, which manages to take some of the heat off the processor. However, the temperatures, I think, are still too high.
Temperature when waking up after a while: ~35C
Idle Temperature: ~55C
Web Surfing Temperature: ~68C
Windows Movie Maker Temperature:~80C
I've propped up the feet so the heatsink sights about 3/4 an inch off the table, and it sits above a metal box.
I've heard that HP laptops are somewhat warmer than most, but is mine still too hot?
It'd be great if there are still ways to reduce the temperature.

I have found a "fix" for my laptop's fans not going fast when needed (Putting in Stand-by/Sleep Mode and Waking it up), But is it normal to be having these temps at regular usage?
