Temperature of my A117S

[benvenuto]

Hi everybody

I just purchase a VGN A117S centrino 1.7ghz and have install HDD montior for checking temperature of my HDD and CPU when playing games.

What I discover is strange...

After 3 hours of Doom3 (which is high process demanding game) the HDD is 44°c and the M/B 47°c and surprise when I run a adaware and spybot the HDD is 43°c and the M/B 60°c !!!!

My question : do you know what the maximum temperature of each HDD and CPU can reach before alarming ?

Thanks.

I've no idea what actual temperature is the 'maximum' but presumably the machine will shutdown if a certain temperature is reached?

Try not to go over 70 degrees on the CPU and probably no more than 55 on the HDD.

Must admit I installed temp monitoring software at one stage.

The processor is capable of sustaining "high" temperatures and I was never unduly concerned about the HDD temp.

My advice (& don't quote me on it) is to uninstall the software -
Then there are no more concerns about temperatures.

Its a new laptop and therefore there should be no problems with dirty fans and blocked vents - enjoy it :smileygrin:

I know AMD suggest not to go over 85, but as Sony don't do many AMD systems....

Intel have a guide on tempretures on their site for Centrinos.
