I have a Toshiba Qosmio Av201 specs are as follows
Pentium M with Centrino Technology 1.8ghz
1.5gb RAM
80GB HDD
Nvidia GeForce FX Go 6600
I have been using NHC (Notebook Hardware Control) to keep track of my temps. and they are as follows
Measured in Celsius
CPU/HDD
Upon Boot up: 32c/?? <<forgot to check lol
During Idle: 34c/40c
When i watch like one or two youtube vids: 64c/48c
When i play DoD or CS:S 65c-83c/48c-55c
Now once the CPU hits the 64c mark it will stay there even if i let the machine idle again...
Is this normal? i have a Targus notebook cooler as well but it still hits those temps.
Also one of my notebook fans clips once in while (put a piece of paper on a house fan and thats what it sounds like)...so that right there is defenitly getting changed soon even though it doesnt do it all the time...some of the things i did do
-Without opening the machine...blew out the computer in every possible vent with compressed air
-Bought a notebook cooler which really doesnt help
thats about it lol...what im PLANNING on doing is...
-Ordering a new CPU fan for my machine...(for the clipping noise as well as maybe the fan is dying)
-Since the machine is open already for a fan swap...im going to put brand spanking new arctic silver between the CPU and heatsink
So all in all i hope to see a good and/or drastic drop in cpu tempature if the temps i listed are abnormal...
Last thing...has anyone heard of the chill pak?
chillpak.com
Im considering ditching the targus cooler and putting one of those on my machine...has anyone used it?...if so does it work?...if u havent used it...do you still think it will work? lol...feedback greatly appreciated.
