laptop hitting 80-85c temp, how do i cool it?

[harleystcool]

its cool guys i bought one along time ago, its a shitty usb fan from walmart. I'm just gonna let it run at current temps, in a few years by the time it gives out it'll be outdated and of no use for me

Who told you this? For a room full of full-blown high grade servers yes, but for a desktop or laptop not at all.

Its about ventilation you can buy one of those cheap $10-$20 portable fans at Walmart and that will do the job perfect.

Expect ambient temperatures to DIRECTLY effect system temperature, a 5 degree rise in ambient should equate to a 5 degree rise in system temp.

The cooler can only bring the system as cool as the ambient air, for the ambient air is what's being used to dissipate the heat from the heatsink.

Yes, I think it's called "Delta_T"

Just put your laptop into your freezer. You can use RDP to control it via wi-fi.

lmao

I'm telling you all you need is that $20 fan it will cut your temperature in half.

Room temperature for one laptop/desktop does not provide enough effectiveness for him to be opening his window chilling his room.

Again this only becomes effective in a area full of servers and even then the biggest issue is air flow. If its always windy it may help a little bit more by opening a window but still not very effective.

An example of the importance of air flow vs room temperature is I can turn my HEATER on to 80 degrees and set it next to my desktop with an open case and it will actually cool it down vs having the heater off.

$20 fan from walmart > opening a window (lol)

EDIT: And I guess I should mention concentrated air flow on the machine itself not to be confused with just having air flow.

Sorry man, thats wrong. Watch your temps in winter and summer, they will be different. It's just logical that 20? air is doing better cooling than 30? air.
But I agree, that a concentrated air flow is needed to provide optimal cooling results. In my case, if have a watercooled PC so I dont need any airflow. When you watercool your hardware its all about the water temperature. Hotter water = hotter hardware.

No, it will not be enough to make any huge difference at all. Again it has VERY little difference. (though as stated it does have some effect, just hardly)

You need concentrated air flow, just because your room is 70 vs 90 degrees will hardly have any effect.

So please tell me what I'm wrong about, unless his room goes above 100F, or below 40F you won't see any big change in temps, you have to have concentrated air flow on the machine.

We aren't talking about watercooled PCs so that is completely irrelevant for his situation.

Lets say you have a good airflow.

Winter: Roomtemp is about 20?C. You cant cool down your system below the roomtemp without a chiller but lets say, you can hold it between 5-10? above your roomtemp. So your CPU is around 25?-30?C (idle). It will grow up at 100% load by 20-25?C. So you have a max temp of 45-55?C.

Summer: Roomtemp is about 30?C. You cant cool down your system below the roomtemp without a chiller but lets say, you can hold it between 5-10? above your roomtemp. So your CPU is around 35?-40?C (idle). It will grow up at 100% load by 20-25?C. So you have a max temp of 55-65?C.

Imagine what the warmed air will do with the roomtemp.

a long time ago when the xbox 360's where coming out, i remember this report of this kid who decided it was a good idea to cool his xbox 360's power brick, by wrapping it in plastic wrap, and submerging it in water. didn't turn out so well.

 

[alpha2twin]

so i'm running 4 bots out of a i5 laptop, its hitting a 85% cpu power and 80-85 temp C. I bought a fan mat for it from walmart but i think its a pile of shit as its doing nothing to improve my temp. Is there a way to cool it besides a cooling mat? its winter outside, maybe i could leave my window open in my room and make it very cold lol.

There's a setting in Windows Power Setting(depending on which Windows version you got but I would assume 7) where you can set your CPU cooling policy eg passive or active.
Changing that can help as usually it would be on passive as default and the fan will therefore only run at the speed it's needed but active will have it running at full speed all the time AFAIK.

Also if your GPU is overheating and you have a graphics card that's not integrated and has a fan, try using MIS afterburner because it lets you adjust the fan speed of your GPU.

Also to take a load of both your GPU and CPU try disabling programs you don't need and also disabling Windows Aero effects if your running windows 7.

It can quite often increase performance hugely and reduce the load on both CPU and GPU.

Hope that helps!

you act like you are really into this, but you are more and more obviously slipping on your ability to even try and act like you know what the fuck you talking about.

i have never met someone that doesn't have the ability to comprehend what ANYONE else is saying.
