Heat

I have a 5 year old Samsung laptop with an i7 and NVIDIA GeForce GT525M. I've found that when gaming the GPU can only run for around 5 minutes or less at max before throttling down to around 40% after its temperature hits 95° C. Do I have a particularly crapy laptop, or is this pretty common?

In a recent question someone from a small forum asked, regarding laptops, left me quite astonished... The guy asked if the laptop was a good "bang for buck" one, and when I started to look into the details to help him, I saw this: http://www.insys.pt/notebooks...

Hey Guys, I recently bought hp envy m6 x360. I wanted to get a screen protector for it but the vendor advised me not to get a screen protector as it traps heat produced, within the screen and prevents it from escaping. Should I get a screen protector or go with the advise as given by the vendor?

Hello, I have an laptop(MSI CX600X) that only works if I preheat it with a hair dryer, and then let it heat up in bios. If I don't preheat it with dryer, it won't even get to bios, and if I don't wait for it to heat up in bios, it just goes into hibernation, sort of same as when it doesn't get...

I replaced many fans and/or deep cleaned vents, heat sinks, etc. This Toshiba P75-A7200 is the 1st of I've seen of its kind where the seams of the bottom tray don't seem to come apart. The keyboard does not come out and there are no screws hidden under the battery. All the replacement parts...

I have SPEEDFAN installed to check the temp. I dont think its heat related. The laptop is brand new. I really only use it for a couple of hours on Sunday mornings for a church gathering. The rest of the week I dont use it. There arent many documents or anything in it. Its brand new. I live in...

Does a slower processor clock speed mean more battery and/or less heat? (2.7 vs 3.4 GHz) Will a difference of .7GHz make a noticeable difference in heat and battery?

I have done as the last person suggested to heat the GPU very high. I worked. after using it, turn it off, it won't turn on again. I didn't touch for a couple of weeks and did it again yesterday. it worked again. now this time the laptop is on and i will not turn it off. my question what causes...

A month (or so) ago I installed to my Sony Vaio VPCEC2M1E, 8GB RAM (after a hell of phone calls with the shop and having my laptop going over their shop to choose RAM appropriate with correct timings), I was thinking positively (for once) that after cleaning its inside dust and doing a fresh...

My old laptop kept slowing down, so I threw an old operating system on it and gave it to a family member. I ended up getting a Surface Book, because the tablet screen works perfectly on a music stand. But, if I run any intensive programs or even some of the cheesy apps on the app store, the...

I have ordered a fan to replace the current one in my np500p4c s05ae laptop. However, do i have to remove the heat sink in order to replace the fan? The screws on the heat sink are very tight and they won't seem to budge.

They are both pretty much the same, but which would be the better choice? What brand would last longer? MSI: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/464433/msi-gaming-series-gs70-6qe-012nl.html ASUS: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/482569/asus-rog-g752vt-gc042t.html

I just purchased a new Sandisk 480 Ultra ii SSD for my laptop, an Asus G75vw-DS71. While I have noticed the improvements in load times people often mention when talking about SSDs, I have also encountered a minor, but still fairly concerning heating issue. Before installation, while using the...

My laptop has HD 4600 and a 960m. Sometimes the processor shoots up to 90 degrees C when it turbos from a base of 2.6 GHz to 3.5 GHz (for whatever reason). I disabled turbo boost and it dropped ambient temps more than 10 degrees. But will using the 960m over the 4600 make the processor even...

Hello there, and thank you for taking the time to read this. This is my first post here, so I'm terribly sorry if I posted under the wrong category or something. A few days ago, I screwed up. Spilled quite a bit of water on the keyboard of my Lenovo Y50-70 laptop. I of course immediately turned...

So I just got this in my mind, is there any difference in placing a laptop on a table or a bed? Except for the fact that it also blocks the laptop's air vents (or the thing that sucks in the air, I forgot) in either way? xD People say to always place a laptop on a table, but that just blocks...

Hey guys. My dad has a laptop with Pentium P6200, when I launch MSI Kombustor on it it heats up to 79C but does not thermal throttle and stays at its 2.13 Ghz, why is that so?

While replacing my currently broken laptop with a new one, at one of the bigger stores here I heard a very interesting comment that I never thought about before: "I recommend you get a laptop with better CPU and Intel HD GPU. While those are far less powerful, they produce much less heat so the...

So after using my laptop for 2 years, I've noticed some heat issues arising. First year or so, I could play demanding games and have normal heat. The fan would be nice and strong when playing a demanding game. idle heat was almost nothing,kind of warm. Now some games cause overheating problems...

I have a gaming laptop, actually more like just a multimedia laptop. I brought it to the service center one time to have my RAM and SSD upgraded. The technician (who seemed to be not in his proper state of mind), lifted a foil-looking sheet inside my laptop. He seemed to have realized this...

I'm trying to figure out whether I should get a new gaming laptop with one GTX 980M or two GTX 980M in SLI. I know that SLI uses more power, generates more heat and costs more so is the performance boost worth the extra heat and money for a gaming laptop? Would I have to get a laptop cooler...

So I thought my laptop went to sleep but it didn't and I put it in my sleeve for like 4 hours. The screen was awake and all. Although I didn't have any games playing or anything (it was just on my desktop) it inevitably heat up and when I took it out the sleeve was hot and the entire laptop was...

Several months ago I had an older HP DV7-3180us that would almost burn my hand after being on for 20 minutes and would hit its thermal ceiling (90c even after a fan cleaning and new thermal paste) running any game at all. It had a i7-720QM and an Nvidia 230m. I currently have a Lenovo Z-50 with...
