I installed the Notebook Hardware Control for the temperature reading. 

For sure ur MOBO sure gone 
.

You mean this??

windvv2005 yup yup ... that one .... will be getting that either today or tomorrow ...

hehehe Vantec + Evercool Magic = Super Chilled Lappie

spent 6k on the lappie so must super sayang it la ... wat to do ... ... cant let it break down rite ... need the lappie to tahan me another 2 years or something then hopefully next time my company will give me a new C2D wit Vista or maybe a Quad Core lappie also would be nice ... hahaha

too late to upgrade the warrenty already lo ... my lappie reached 1 year old liao ...

cool...still the same price?.... interesting...

i'm using twinhead laptop.normally the temp for HDD is around 36 if not spinning at full speed.and my CPU is 44 degrees.but i found 1 problem which i'm not sure wether others face or not.

My cpu's temp went up to 59degrees after 2 hours i close the screen down.it just stayed at 59 and dont come down.and i can feel abit heat at the keyboard area.

when used for few hours..then the heat will just build up..mine will shoot up to 59 degrees and stay there.then can feel the heat at the keyboard.
BTW anyone hadopened any laptop before?i'n still new with my laptop.dont know the design inside.cant really figure out hot to make it cooler

Added on February 12, 2007, 2:27 pmi just recheck the restart thing..really true..before i restart..it was 40degrees..after restart now is 52 degrees.

dont put on the top of hard wood..if ure using AMD its label as not friendly what..

put on bed also can reduce..

well, i tried something new again..when the laptop cpu's temperature is high, i just close the screen and let it go to standby mode.that time the processor wontwork and the HDD will spin slow.but the laptop cooler below still running at full speed. this will cause it to cool down the cpu alot..coz the heat generation is "0" and the fan still extracting heat.

in the end..from 59 degrees drop back to 40+ degrees when i open the screen back..like giving it some time to rest.

i'm using twinhead, but i think using the latptop in the bed is a bad i dea.it depends on model actually.if the laptop air intake is at the side then ok la.like like the air intake is below,and there is many vents below.if put on bed,then the heat wont go away..sor short time,maybe it works,coz they got contact with the bed..after long time.guarantee you laptop burn.

once again,depends on design..if there is a hole at the side to suck air in and out..then would be fine i think.

Yes agreed..putting on a bed is the worst of all. Infact just 10min on bed u really can feel ur nappie getting so hot oledi...

erm i always put it on my bed for a while ... while watching a series or 2 ... its ok leh for mine ...

or what u guys can do is if u wanna put the lappie on ur bed ... be sure to put your lappie cooler underneath ... should be sufficient not to burn the lappie or the bed

Acyually I tried it on a water pillow b4 and not bad it did cool down a bit of temp & after a while u can feel the heat on the water pillow.

Another crazy idea b4 getting myself a cooler previously is by using the blue Ice pack and put my lappie on top of another huge plate (dulang) and below is the ice pack!!

I really really really hate norton anti virus ... my gf's vaio running C2D 2.0ghz with 4mb cache also lags when XP starts ... then it takes up about 60% of processing power when the laptop is being turned on ... but since there is 3 months free then juz use it for the time being until its expired ...

bobbychin ... check if you have enough HDD space & virtual memory as well ... try not to use startup functions so much as well ... juz use the basic ones is good enough

example useless startup programs for me ...
- Winamp Agent
- BitComet (now prefer to use uTorrents)
- Windows Live Messenger
- iTunes (hate it... GO WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER!!!)
- Useless bundled softwares which comes with your laptop...

Will add extra later tonight ...

yea..lemme add to the list...
ICQ..
MSN/ YAhoo messenger...
Limewire...

Norton is good in a way but i hate it because it runs on background which takes up a lot of processing speed... sometimes it has a lot of pop ups as well like which program to block and stuff ...

windows defender is good to use to check what startup programs you have and what is currently running... and not forgetting disable useless startup programs or even removing them...

erm then i use spybot as well to detect spywares or adwares... dont like using the AVG antispy because takes up loads of processing speed as well ...

hmmm...

most of my startup programs which i set is needed because some of the hardware needs it ... example
- ATi Control Center
- Toshiba DVD
- Touchpad driver
- Biometric controler
- Gmail (some program to check if there is mail inside my account)
- Spyboy Teatime
- Epson Printer Monitor
- AutoShutDown
- CPU Monitor (a program which shows the amount of processing power used)

My laptop takes bout 20 sec to load everything... a bit the slow i suppose ... i guess not enough ram or something ....

how bout u guys ?
