u can google NHC but u need .net platform installed first. Other apps like SpeedFan and MB5 also checks the fan, heat and etc

It's free. You can download it for free. It'll be placed at your taskbar.

arr i am already using a vantec lapcool 2 ...

will be going over to low yat later and look for some fujitsu, toshiba or HP i guess ...

....

ok ... new updates ... i manage to bring down a bit of temp by undervolting the laptop ... but then its slow when u need the processing power ...

gayass toshiba ....

...

any idea if Vaio or HP has heating issues ?

Might I ask, just what do u people do that makes the lappie overheat?!

is not wat we do..more likely wat manufacture do... some notebook manufacture have bad thermal design...which causing the heat trap inside the notebook...cannot dissipated at high rated...

when talking abt good thermal design...mostly likely IBM win...they didnt suffer any heat issues...kindda agree...last time, i saw IBM notebook use copper heatsink for their procs...which in my opinion better than aluminium...

however, sm manufacture r not good enough...their dedicated gc got heatsink as well but ddint hv any fan to blow off the heat as the heat trap inside...overheating may occur...

this is just an example..
btw, there's a lot of factor for a good thermal design...

Yeah, i hate those laptop with gc but only have 1 fan!!! It makes my CPU temp increasing gradually while i'm playing games.$%^& Recently the temp in KL ^&*(^%$$!!!

I guess no matter whatever brand of laptop, always having heat issue too due to design all devices all in 1 at the notebook base.......

Er.. we'll never be satisfied with what we have so go on complaining... go on......

Well, that's human being, isn't it?

jdreamer,
It sure is.... but well, perhaps one thing we ought to learn is to stop complaining too much

aint we a little bit OT now?
btw tinkerbel,
dats wat forum is...
TS open a thread...he wanna noe which notebook suffer heat issue...he will avoiding from buying dat brands...so later he wont b complaining nemore....

btw, if really concern abt the heat, dont take notebook with dedicated gc...

death_nite,
Okies dokies U got a point. I don't want to end up being a spammer. Anyhow, I didn't have any issues when I was using my Fujitsu and I didn't install or get additional fan cooler or whatchamacall those fanciful stuff *g*

Must admit I could hear the fan running when it's been switched on for too long or when I'm 'abusing' the unit with loadsa multi-tasking but otherwise it's perfect. Can't check temperature since I don't have those programs mentioned installed, SoweeZzzZz...

No problems with temperature / heat issues on the MacBook Pro though

dude, they use heatpipes, most notebook use it. i've seen a mac, use 2 tiny fans.
if you want more fan, would use more battery, and space. fans dissipate heat all by itself too. and more noise too. the overall design is whats important.
get a thinkpad, the uber notebook. just a little plain looking, which is intentional.

shirohamada,
Don't u find the ThinkPads a little heavy?!

cheapest thinkpad, r60 is 2.6kg, yes it is kinda heavy. t60 2.4kg, Z.....the price is heavy

fujitsu eh..i nvr heard any heat issues for fujitsu...my fren own 1...quite cool lerr..

yeargh...most notebook use heatpipe...my notebook both heatsink (proc n gc) shared 1 fans...

but do rmmbr some notebook, due to bad design, they hv no space to shared gc heatsink with proc heatsink's fan...

ha but the roll cage inside, heavy a bit is worth

wat u pay is wat u get lor.... but anyway not because of that particular brand give u problem then u will say that brand is bad but if really refer back every of their models, hence we may get good comparison on wat we looking for and also the cons that we may get too, this forum had been helping alot forumers to get wat they looking for and i conclude most of the forumers here and the knowledgeable forumers here had shared best info as they have. im glad to joined this forum.

for heat problems is hard to deny it and it may occurs in anytime and in any places which it also depends. get a aluminium coolpad if the heat really make you uncomfortable.

sorry if i did insult or hurt anyone....thank you
