get a cooler under that and you should be fine. I suggest the Thermaltake iXoft.

I have a cooler at the moment with fans on it and im waiting for ixoft to come i have ordered it...and im waiting for it but with the notebook cooler i havent seen such a difference it has been dicreased around 3 degrees.

What is the maximum temperature that can be reached?

max and still workable? maybe 70-80C?

In a laptop, if one thing gets hot, the other components will get hot as well.

make sure yours is well dusted out.

I have cleaned it up i used compressed air and the fan is clean. Yeap the pc wizzars was showing 110degrees and it was working fine. Should it be a wrong indication from the progie? Is that possible? Now it shows 75 degrees. with the cooler below it.

I will try it now.. but i was wondering if there is any software like the intel`s active monitor for the desktop mobo

I dont know which one is correct:) Everest shows 30 degrees less how can i find out which one is the correct one?

Sensor Properties:

Sensor Type CPU, HDD, ACPI, Intel GMCH

Temperatures:

CPU 51 ?C (124 ?F)

CPU #1 / Core #1 46 ?C (115 ?F)

CPU #1 / Core #2 50 ?C (122 ?F)

GMCH1 39 ?C (102 ?F)

GMCH2 41 ?C (106 ?F)

FUJITSU MHV2100BH PL 34 ?C (93 ?F)

Voltage Values:

CPU Core 1.29 V

And the strange for me is that the pcwizzars shows now exactly the same temperatures.

Edited by freemancy

I tried to find them in the bios but i couldnt find such a setting. So what is more critical the cores temperatures or the outsite temp?Field Value

    • Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
