Help CPU running at 82 deg C!

[Gary_B]

I've installed everest on my lappy to check the temps as it was getting a uncomfortably hot. I check the temperature and it has been running as high as 82 deg C worst case. Normal usage its running at about 70-75 deg C. Its a fairly old lappy HP Compaq nx9005. Anyway is there a way of increasing the stock fan speed, to try an keep the temps down. The fan is constantly on full tilt so noise wont be a problem.

I've already tried speedfan that didn't work, and Riva Tuner just confuses me.

Edit - I have already taken the fan out and cleaned all the shite out of the heat sinks and that mad little difference.

Fan has probably had it, your temps are a bit too toasty!

What program are you using to get your temps? some are not accurate. Also check the exhaust isnt full of dust.

I'm using everest for the temps. I cleaned it out yesterday, got to remember though its a lappy so it only has limited cooling anyway

RivaTuner is a great program, but it has to recognise the hardware to work with it properly. I use it to force my graphics cards fan to 100% on Windows startup.

That does seem to be running a bit high!

Re-apply the heat sink compound between the heatsink and processor. Its probably dried out... it happens..

Try coretemp.

surely the mobo wouldnt let the cpu get that hot

My laptop celeron m runs at 75.it should shut down before it gets damaged.

You need to reseat the heat sink and fan over the processor. The thermal paste / compund will have failed. You can new compound from here:

that WILL fix your problem to some extent. Laptops are gash when it comes to cooling.
