depends on the proccesor as well what proccosor is it? idealy the cooler it runs the better for battery life etc
That CPU is designed to run up to 102ºC / 215F. When it hits that temperature, it will shutdown your computer. Above 95ºC expect the cpu to throttle down it's speed. The safe temperature is anything below 80ºC during high CPU loads. PS: you should have posted this question here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/forums/pc-hardware.13/
So if it is running between 50 to 72 C but it is hot on the side of the laptop i should be ok or would u guys recommend a docking station with fans? thx
my lappy is running between 52 to 70 c but on the left side of it, it is very warm but not hot. Should i get dock station with fans?
Got this E5430 it had been sold on ebay twice in the last 6 months with a complaint of overheating ran HWInfo on it and determined that the cpu was running 70 to 80c it was quite warm on the lap Took it apart cleaned the heat exchanger and the fan and cleaned off the gobs of hard old heat sink compound and replaced it with new high quality stuff it's running 65c right now as I do this, and it's barely warm to the touch Get HWInfo and fill your boots with data, then compare it with the specs for your computer and you can quickly tell if something needs work ...T
