68-74*C for a laptop aint bad 

 

My dads laptop goes to 81*C on his Ivy-Bridge i3 so no prob

Posted

Hey guys!

 

My laptop's idle temperature is always between 48-53 degrees celcius. Sometimes during the day one or another service or process uses about 25% of my cpu usage then the temperature shoot to between 68 and 74 degrees celcius.

 

I took my laptop apart the other day, cleaned out the vents and removed all the dust bunnies. I also removed the old cpu thermal paste and applied new thermal paste. I also checked the fan is working like it always has.

 

After I put the laptop together again a few days ago I've been keeping an eye on my laptop and It seems to be doing exactly the same.

 

I'm pretty out of ideas at this point, I was thinking that maybe this is just the normal temperature for my laptop to run at? What do you guys think?

 

The laptop is an Acer Aspire E1-571 with a Core i3 2328m processor and 8gb of ram, as well as a Samsung 850 EVO SSD. The laptop is about 2 and a half years old, i bought it in February 2013

Mine reaches 90°C with arctic silver V, that's too hot, and not what you have :)

74 isn't bad.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

I guess my CPU is also a golden chip since I get only about 52*C while browsing - then again - it depends on the model.

What laptop is yours? What CPU also?

If the heat gets uncomfortable to the touch you can try a cooling pad to help with the circulation. They should cost around $20 or less. Another idea which might help is to stack the laptop on top of two equally thick books or blocks with a gap underneath to give the heat more room to disperse.
