Laptop Temperature

[kalum0101]

Hello, this is my first post on the forums

 

So i was watching Linus's Tech-quickie on temperatures and it reminded me that my laptop has been getting very uncomfortably hot, especially under load. I am unsure about the temperatures it is supposed to run at as i am not used to laptops (being a desktop builder), but i feel the temps that it is running at are far too hot. The laptop is not that old, bought New from amazon in May of this year. Its an:

 

Acer Aspire V3-571

Intel Core i7 3632QM

8GB DDR3 Ram

750GB Hard Drive

Intel HD 4000 Graphics

 

This is the temp at idle:

 

 

And these are the temps under load (look at the blue text on the right as Intel's graphs failed):

 

 

I hope you can help me figure out what could be doing it. If i must take it apart, i will, but being a relatively new laptop, i wouldn't see why it would be a problem.

 

Thank You

maybe the fans are covered and they dont have acces to air 

 

 

I've made this cooling pad and i can tell this can decrease the cpu temperature by up to 7°C on my pc this thing is really good

Thanks for the advice. These tests were done on a flat wood desk so i don't know how it would block airflow, and if it does, that a really poor design you have there acer....

haha, this reminds me of my old Dell studio 1558. (It got to above 115 degrees while idling, it burned my legs when I used it lol) But I've looked up a few  laptops that uses the same processor, seems they get to approximately the same temperature while gaming and what not, so I checked the CPU's specs. 90DC still safe operating temperatures, so according to intel your CPU is still in safe temps till it hits approx the 105DC mark.

I wouldn't worry about it if its 100% peak load as the CPU isn't even thermal throttling.

Also if the idle temps are fine, i see no problem there.

My i7 2677M is throttling at 85°C and reaches about 80°C with new thermal paste applied with peak load. (with standard cooling)

If you want you can either never treat your notebook to 100% over a longer period of time (really, never do that with notebooks anyways, that's not what they are made for) or use a notebook cooling pad.

yeah that is true mobile cpus are usually designed to operate a t a lot higher temperatures but if you can get significantly smaller temperatures for almost nothing, why not

I might try that, I have a cupboard full of Molex fans out of my desktop before i upgraded its fans to something better. I use this laptop for college and also a bit of gaming on the side. I think the most intensive thing i put it through is when i host servers on it (Minecraft, Garry's Mod, Etc). Other than that, i use my desktop for everything else and that never gets above 50 even with all 4 cores maxxed out for long periods of time (i5 3330)
