Pillorian Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 So I decided to take apart my laptop today and give it a good blow job... get your mind out of the gutter! lol Anywho, I got sick of hearing my fan run at high speeds while the system was basically idling. I decided to see what the temperatures on the CPU were in a before/after scenario. Before Average temp at idle: 75 *C Average fan speed: 5000 rpm Average temp at max load: 85 *C Average fan speed: 6000 rpm After Average temp at idle: 67*C Average fan speed: 3700 rpm Average temp at max load: 75 *C Average fan speed: 5000 rpm Isn't it amazing what a little dust can do to your computer... This makes me want to go blow out my PS3 so it doesn't YLOD! Quote
Johnson30 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 I think if I blew my original 60GB it would had lasted a lot longer. Weeks before I got the YLOD that fan was warning me. Quote
TOW-19 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 I fear for this thread....I think people are going to start showing before and after pics of blowjobs. Could be a good thread...just depends on which direction the camera's pointing. Quote
willywonka159 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 How do you blow it and how do you check the temperatures? Quote
Pillorian Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) How do you blow it and how do you check the temperatures? Compressed air. I use Lavalys Everest Ultimate Edition for the temperatures (apparently there is a new program that has replaced Everest now, called AIDA64). Great program. It tells you everything you ever wanted to know about your computer, and more. That is of course if you were wondering how I blow out my computer Edited April 11, 2011 by Pillorian Quote
mic-- Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 I think if I blew my original 60GB it would had lasted a lot longer. Weeks before I got the YLOD that fan was warning me. Your 60gb probably had bad soldering like mine and everone else's. It can be fixed, I fixed mine twice...lol I'm thinking about taking my 80gb apart and cleaning it out. I think I've had it for more than a year so the warranty is expired anyway. Quote
Crusty_Demons Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) You can also use this. They have a free version. I use this especially when I am putting a heavy load on my PC. I run a very hot graphics card that idles at around 129 degrees and under load can get up to 180-190. It's a pretty handy tool. http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html Edited April 11, 2011 by Crusty_Demons Quote
