despite the fact that it can only use 3 of its 4 gigs of RAM, I still love my new DV5.
There's only one, tiny kink...
It's getting hot. Very hot. My hands aren't burning, but I can feel the heat in my palms.
Speedfan readings:
Core 0: Average temperature's around 47C
Core 1: Avg. Temp. is 49C
GPU: Here's the real problem. IT'S ON FREAKING 54C!!!
These temperatures are bloody DANGEROUS. And I'm going to be using this for gaming.
I have an HP Pavilion g7-1368dx laptop with Windows 7 that I purchased in June 2012, so it's out of warranty.
A couple weeks ago it had a thermal shutdown one time during use. After cooling down, the laptop functioned fine for a few uses, but then it started giving the startup warning message, "The system has detected that a cooling fan is not operating correctly," with additional indication about potential damage if the computer is operated in that condition.
I ordered a new fan and replaced it, and I cleaned the fan grill in the process (though it wasn't incredibly dirty), but I still get the same fan error message. I went to HP's website and saw the suggestion to do a "hard reset," so I did that, but the problem still persists.
I saw another suggestion of trying a BIOS update, but I figured that wouldn't be advisable since the fan isn't working. Would going through with the BIOS update attempt anyway?
My laptop HP pavilion G6 1330ee Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit shows the following message: The system has detected that a cooling fan is not operating correctly. Continued operation is not recommended and may cause unpredictable behaviour that could result in random shutdown, data loss or possible system damage. The system will shutdown in 15 seconds. To prevent shutdown and continue operation please press the enter key now. System Fan (90B) Enter-Continue startup For more information, please visit: [URL]
I upgraded my laptop from home basic 64 bit to ultimate 64-bit then I reinstalled the windows 7 ultimate 64-bit because i want a clean windows 7 ( first upgrade was from Windows Upgrade the second one from the internet ).I always clean my laptop from dust and it never get overheated because I use cooling pad with 3 fans. I gave my friend to check my laptop he works in pc's he said that my laptop looks like new and i don't have a fan problem he suggest to Re-Install windows 7 from HP ( that came with hp products ) or do i hard rest to my hardware. My warranty fishined a month ago, and I take care of my laptop very well. I know my laptop will not get any damaged because i use cooling pads.
Windows + BIOS + HP Products + Drivers all of them updated to the latest update
Okay, so. I have an HP Pavilion g6-1145sg. It was working properly all morning, and then I put it to sleep temporarily (about ten to twenty minutes). When I went to turn it on, the screen was black and said something along the lines of "the system has detected that a cooling fan is not operating correctly. Continued operation would not be recommended at this time... may cause unpredictable behaviour that could result in random shut down, data loss or possible system damage."
Then after a few seconds it shuts off completely. There is an option to continue with system resume, and I clicked it once, but it didn't go all the way through to letting me use my laptop properly (I got to my desktop background and it shut down).
I have had it since last August, and it has worked somewhat alright through until today. Of course, the system lags occasionally, but nothing serious, mostly just aggravating.
my laptop runs extraordinarily hot (I believe it was a faulty fan/heatsink assembly.) So I purchased a replacement, opened up the laptop and replaced it.
Now I get underload temps Up to 94C on GPU (and around 80 on CPU -
I just got my DV3T. I noticed that the cooling pad I currently have will not work with this laptop since it sucks air from under the laptop, while the DV3T sucks the air from under the laptop and blows it out the side.
So are there any cooling pads that work well with the DV3T? Ones that blow air from the bottom to the top?
I checked out the service manual, to read up on disassembly. Thinking about opening my notebook up and removing the heat pads and replacing them with copper shims to reduce heat. that is, unless someone can find a way to downclock the GPU for cooling purposes... But I'd like to get it cooler so the fan won't have to run all the time.

Is there any type of cooling pad that would cool it down?
The DV5T is one of two notebooks that I'm considering and I have a question related to the heat while gaming. Many have recommended a cooling pad, and many also suggest simply raising the notebook .5-1" in the back. With the natural lift of the 12 cell battery, would the cooling pad still be necessary for long gaming runs? I don't want to pay the extra $20 for the 12 cell only for minimal cooling gains and still needing to buy a cooling pad. Or is it cooling pads are highly recommending for all laptops when gaming?
View 4 Replies View RelatedCan any ENVY owners (any model is fine), comment on the cooling system, hardware temperatures, physical temperatures, etc.? And if anyone knows about the cooling system/features/vents for the ENVY 14.
Also, compare ENVY's gamingability to the m11x, MSI GE600 or MSI GX640, if possible.
I was thinking of making my own notebook cooler, one with a fan directly over the air intake.
I was wondering if too much air going into the intake will spoil the fan inside, kinda like the air is moving faster than the internal fan can handle.
I am looking at cooling pad for my 1340. Most of them have the fan in the center (like the Belkin, with great reviews) but my laptop gets hot at the very top left above the "studioXPS" logo and power button.
To me, this means I need a 3 fan-cooler with fans at the top corners as well as the center
Anyone know which is the best cooling pad to use with the XPS 13?
View 7 Replies View RelatedSince my laptop gets quite hot and my nvidia 8 serie is dying slowy I was thinking, since I only use my laptop as a dekstop replacement anyway, of unscrewing the bottom of my laptop so the laptopcooler would have more effect.
My question is:
is this a good idea? or will my computer become polluted with dust which will make my hardware components defect?
I bought my Sony three years ago. The Model was SZ3VMP/X, 13.3 inch with Core2Duo T7400 and 2GB RAM and 120GB HDD.
Everything was ok till last year. It becames louder and louder. I cleaned Heat sink and still it was loud.
After that I found there is cooling fan, above left from the Touchpad. Last two days I can hear noises like fan is dying.
Is it possible to buy this fan somewhere, when not to open it and clean it. It looks like pretty complicate to open that part of Notebook. To remove the keyboard wasn't a problem or HDD.
I take back what I said about this not getting as hot as my 1720. It most certainly runs hotters, especially under a medium to heavy load.
What steps have those of you with a 16 started taking to reduce your temperature? Anyone done any neat heatsink mods, replaced fans, found a program to control the fans, any of that?
Happy to hear any and all input, I love the Studio XPS 16 so far but it does get mighty toasty...and for the record, the warm touchpad area doesn't really bother me, but the underside does.
I want to buy a cooling pad for an XPS M1710 I just ordered but need some advice first. Some cooling pads out there blow air up to the bottom of the laptop, and others draw air from the bottom of the laptop and exhaust the hot air to the back or sides. Can somebody tell me whether the bottom of the M1710 draws cool air in, or blows hot air out? If the M1710 draws air in, then I will get a cooling pad that blows cool air to the bottom. If the bottom of the M1710 blows out hot air, then I will get a cooling pad that draws the hot air out

Please let me know what all from the below do I need to do for the heat problem (if any):
1. Undervolting CPU
2. Get Cooling Pad (I currently have Antec, but if needed I can buy Zalman NC2000)
3. Replace thermal compound .....
I'm gonna purchase a cooler for my Studio 17 before it comes in. My question is, are the fans on the bottom of the laptop an intake or exhaust?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm now very happy owner of a cooling pad with fans. My temps are :
CPU : 29 degrees
GPU : 40 degrees
HDD : 27 degrees
Got a m1530 and, so far, it is fantastic.
i've been keeping an eye on temps and was wondering which is the best bios for cooling.
at the moment my fans don't really kick in until the gpu reaches 70c. The moment the fan starts (not super loud like when you play games but louder than the normal hum) the temp drops back to 58ish very quickly (talking seconds). However, in my mind, it makes more sense to keep temps as stable as possible.
Without fans running (or at least without me noticing them running), my temps normally hang around high 50's low 60's on the gpu. However, if i am doing lots of stuff the temps slowly rise to high 60's before the fan turns on and brings it back to 58-63. I think if fans were on more often i could easily have temps in the low 50's pretty much all the time..
I think I have bios 13 at the mo.. that or 12. is there anyway to increase fan usage?
i have seen and read about cooling dock stations for the i9300 that involve removing the PCMCIA slot insert. i am curious if my notebook would benefit from leaving this slot insert out even without a cooling dock? would the extra ventilation be of any value? i am currently uninterested in buying a cooling dock.

I've disassembled it and cleaned all the dust using compressed air, but it's too hot and too noisy.

Can anyone recommend a good pad for SZ series?
I've owned a D630 for about a year now and have noticed that the bottom of the laptop can get very hot. My dad owned the same model for a couple years and he had multiple hard drive failures. His hypothesis was that the computer might have been overheating and burned out the hard drive.
However, in doing a little research, I heard it's not so much that the computer overheats as it is that the metal frame conducts heat very easily. So while the outside might be hot, the inside isn't at a temperature that's damaging to the parts.
Any experiences with this? Any help would be appreciated. If overheating is a common problem, I'll probably shell out the money for a cooling mat. If it's not a problem, then that's money saved.!
I'm thinking of buying a SXPS 13, but I read that it is very warm compared to other 13" laptops, and it is not really pleasant for a "lap" usage.
Did any of you try advanced methods to improve the cooling system, such as adding a thermal compound, replacing the fan, changing the voltage in the BIOS?
Did it work? Did it avoid the warranty?
I also have one unrelated question, but I don't want to create a new topic for this: Does the display port allow us to use a Dual Screen?
I am waiting for my XPS to come and I want to know what is the best cooling device I can get on it. The reason I mentioned "safest" is because one person I know said sometimes it can be harmful to the laptop(I have no idea how true that is).
View 9 Replies View RelatedI like my M6400. Except that I am sick of the noise the fans make.
My M6300 runs at hotter temperatures without the fans almost ever kicking in for light applications. As a result it is a pleasant quite piece of kit to work with.
The M6400 is loud and annoying in the continuous on-off cycles. Notebook coolers with fans do not work well in my experience .....
if there are any DIY mods to enable better vid card cooling.
i googled and am aware of "cooling pad" to put under the laptop, but its not a portable solution
i am looking for something along the lines of cut bigger vents / more vents or even a fan? or put in more efficient heat sink in there...
I'm not sure what is going on, but I think my cooling fan may have broke inside my m1530.
A couple months ago, I was having many heating issues that I diagnosed as just the poor thermal pad application from the factory. So I undervolted my CPU and applied arctic silver 5 to the heatsink.
Everything was well at first, but in the past few weeks my comp has started running really hot again.
It will idle around 45-50 C, which is pretty good and much better than before the thermal pad change. However, under load (especially graphical) the temps go up to 90 again now.
