High Temperatures

jumpsuit — Sat, 02 Jun 2007 12:27:01 GMT

Hi all

Having a little bit of trouble with temperatures on my AR-31S.

I am using CoreTemp found Here

and am getting 60 degrees results on both cores, sometimes pushing 70.

I have also used speedfan found Here and that returns only a core 0 and core 1 temp of around 45 degrees.

PCWizard found Here returns more alarming results found below....

It really is very hot at the back of my machine. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have this problem from time to time on my AR21S but, this happens because the ventilation of the laptop might be blocked by something even abit of it, it usually cools down after i put it in a well ventilated place, try putting your laptop on a cold surface or a well cooled area. Make sure theres no dust clogged up in the vents.

Thanks for that

I keep it in a well ventilated area with nothing surrounding it,and the grills aren't clogged.

I think it's just about getting to a high point, but I'm not suprised it's getting that hot.

It has been like this since day 1 and even after a complete re-install. if anyone witrh this model fancies using the above applications and comparing results that would be brilliant.

Mobmeter sadly isn't compatible with Vista but at least we have 3 alternatives, with pc wizard looking the most in depth at the moment.

I just downloaded PC Wizard and ran it on my AR21S. I'm a little concerned about my GPU temp.

Thanks Rich and Jumbles. There's a heck of a diference between Rich's and our results.

Is yours really pumping the heat out at the back too Jumbles?

By the aerial socket is much hotter than anywhere else though I wouldn't call it excessive. There's a post somewhere with pictures of the inside of an AR21S but I can't find it so I don't know what's in that corner. It might just be the heatsink output as there's a grill there.

Mine is always running on mains power so I don't know if that makes any difference.

At least I'm not alone with the crazy GPU temp.

Wouldnt the GPU temp increase if you were actually working on something graphically heavy.... because mine has only been reunning itunes n Windows live messenger since 1pm

I played some HL2 a couple of hours ago but even then 4 1/4 billion degrees seems a little excessive :smileyhypnotized:

I presume that the processor temperature is the "Chip" temperature. If so, then I would not say that 60-70 was excessive. I once had a Toshiba Satellite which ran that temperature on the outside of the box, which meant that the chip Temp was very high.

BTW I measured the temperature by sticking T-sensitive labels on the laptop. You can get them from RS.

Mine seems to have calmed a little, but is still higher than Rich and Thal's

Edit: The effort of posting this has raised both cores to 61% LOL

Hi Jumpy,

Glad I had a day off yesterday while you were all worrying about temperatures.

I'll have a look ar the AR later 'cos I'm on the Desktop at the moment - The RC102 seems to run at 50 deg:
