By the way - I could max the temp to 73-75 with 100% CPU before, but after cleaning (maan, there was a WALL of dust in the heatsink!!) the temp hits 55-58 max on 100% CPU!
Nice, on several laptops (including my R3470) I've managed to hit the thermal limit and the machine has shut off. If you really want to heat up your laptop, try running the mprime (or Prime95 on windows) "torture test." Other ways to overheat your laptop include compiling something large while working on an unsaved document :-P On a more serious note, taking your notebook apart and cleaning out the heatsink fan on a regular (yearly or semi-yearly) basis is good practice, as long as you can do it without wrecking the notebook. -Mark _______________________________________________ LinuxR3000 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pcxperience.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000 Wiki at http://prinsig.se/weekee/
