heat management

Hi, I was maxing out my CPU with prime95 for 30min and the temps was good around 60c Then I did close prime95 and I did open it again to run it and it did only manage to push the CPU to 80% according to task manager and as my fans did not start to run at full speed I guess it was correct that it...

Is this usual the tempeature of the graphics card. Thank you.

Windows almost abuses the fan on my laptop. Toshiba Satellite C875-S7303. Whenever I try to run Borderlands 2, while loading the game the laptop overheated. Windows 8 (which came with the laptop) did the same thing, then I wiped it and put Ubuntu 13.04 on it and it never overheated. Is there a...

Electronics and certainly PCs do not like heat. It is important that these devices stay cool @ all times and throughout their lifetime. That said, here is one of those "Best Practice" things that I suggest all too often does not even occur to people and that they do not think about or do on...

Unless I am playing games from XP or older my GPU runs at 80-99% usage. When I am on my desktop the GPU idles at 0% and depending on which Graphics card I have in either 30-35 degrees Celsius or 40-50 degrees Celsius. When I am in-game though on any game but the old XP ones no matter which...

Can I run it turbo mode all the time, if I am not using the battery? Or can I increase the low gig. mode from 1197 gig. to say 1500 gig. ? I so seldom use the battery, so I can imagine that being a problem. Also, I read something about leaving the battery out, if I use it outside on a warm...

I am extremely tired from posting this. My laptop specs are: Dell XPS L502x Intel I7 Intel HD Graphics Family Nividia Geforce GT 540m Realtek High Defintion Audio Okay, so whenever I game, eventually and randomly, my game will freeze and loop the last sound. I'm not even kidding, it loops the...

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit... it is not OEM. I installed it fresh over a clean hard drive a few months ago. The laptop is a Gateway P-7811fx. It's about 3 years old and it a gaming laptop with a dedicated GPU. Since the issues began I have run extensive MemTests, DriveSweeper, and...

This laptop is mainly used for gaming so i was a bit surprised when i was playing a game and my computer overheated and turned off for the first time in a year of having the laptop. I checked and even games like "lord of...

Huge changes in software and microchips needed A new report from the US National Research Council has warned that technology growth will grind to a halt unless a new generation of hardware and software is developed. The catchy-titled “The Future of Computing Performance: Game over or next...

Hey all. I just put together a new system and installed an AMD Phenom II x4 995 (3.2Ghz). This is my first AMD chip and a significant upgrade from my old Pentium D but how hot should the chip run? I've got an ASUS motherboard for it and I'm running PC Probe II and the CPU temp seems to jump...

Lynnfield Can Take The Heat, But Should It? The enemy of both stability and longevity, heat changes the characteristics of silicon in a way that eventually makes it unsuitable for use in a logic circuit. Heat damage can sneak up on overclockers quickly, such as the 59 degree Celsius stability...

This may be off topic from vista but I was just wandering. What temps should I look at? Rite now core0 is at 53C and core1 is at 55C. My office has no cooling or insulation so it can get hot in here. The other day the temps hit 62C and my fans fired up for the first time in the 2 years sence I...

Not sure which forums to start posting this at so I will start here and move my way around. So here goes: I seem to be unable to stop Windows 7 RC1 7100 from auto Throttling my CPU. CPUID reports that the multiplier is fluctuation anywhere from x21 down to 8x dropping my corespeed from 3519 down...
