melu Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 hello When i bought my laptop inspiron 9300+go6800,regular gpu temp was 44-45 C.next i oveclocked for "performance 3d"(290,590mhz) and temperature was still the same 44-47 C. But now,i don't now why, regular temp is 51-52 C. I downclocked gpu to 128,318mhz and temperature is still the same-52-54mhz :) Somebody knows something-why? somebody help me? max ps-somebody knows-how is safe higher temp?90degree C still safety?

sn0wl Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Probably fans need cleaning. Check FAQ section for more info on how to clean your fans. And ~50C is not that much. Above 90 is not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sn0wl Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Well it shouldn't be that dusted in 4 months but who knows. Performance is probably the same. Above 70C is very usual. What do you mean by "is it dangerous if you turn it off"? If you mean while cleaning yes you should turn it off. Anyway you can try reinstalling your system sometimes some nasty stuff working in background can cause these kind of things. Be sure you are not blocking air vents somehow.

Guest Guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 My laptop (inspiron 5150) matrix lags as soon as it hits 72 degrees C. 70 degrees is normal, yes... at least at max performance. I'd get worried if your CPU starts seeing 85+ degrees. Video cards usually get much hotter though. My GeForce 6600GT AGP card (BFG OC + even more overclocking) is set to shut down at about 125 degrees C, it rarely sees 75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlelewd Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 I woudn't worry about it at all. My overclocked 6600go games around 78-84c and its been like this for about 3 months with no problems at all. This is for games like AOE3 and DOOM3 with graphics not all the way up but prety much. Idle temp is a constant 54 with the external hdd and laptop cooler. I don't know why but having an external hdd makes the interal fan always on. Without both, ambient temp is 61-71. I have made a few threads when I didn't know it was safe but I use this laptop pretty hard. Its on gaming, playing movies, music, webdesign over 8 hours a day for over a year never had a problem. I woudnt worry until you start noticing lag or artificacts. Something I have never have to deal with. 6600GO 64mb 330/660. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an issue in Windows that prevent the CPU to go into energy saving states when a USB device is plugged. You might want to read the Anandtech analyse of this bug. As far as I remember Microsoft issued a patch but I haven't the link available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
