HP Envy 17 heat questions

Hello world! Earlier this year I bought a HP Envy 17 times for school and games, so far I've been pretty happy with it. However, before yesterday I bought Far Cry 3 blood Dragon, a game that my laptop should be able to manage well enough. But when you play the game, stretches of CPU temperatures of 90-93 and the GPU seems to run stable at 91 C. It's extremely hot, since I am able to run Battlefield 3 and Crysis 3 running in the low 80 c without problem.

Of course when I lived my first action was to clean dust and debris from vents (there was very little), but that doesn't have anything major. Then I started to lower the parameters of the game a bit, I went from high heat to low/medium settings as well as spend DX11 to DX9, that did not help either though. Then my last attempt had to close everything except the programs needed to run the game, did not help either.

So now, I turn to you, the HP forum, help. I thought that if someone knows how to solve this problem, it's you guys.

Here's my dxdiag:

I hope you guys can help me, because I am at a loss. Thank you!

A book!  I am fearful!  I hope it's a great book, well read, favorite and you are balancing on the edge for laptop.

I think that I do not get on an advantage of 20 + degree - not really sure since I stopped to measure these things a long time ago.  When the laptop fans begin to run 'high' for as long as I can stand it, I turn on the cooler.  If the fan of the laptop will not adjust after a bit, I mount the cooler fan a little speed.  It's more than an automatic response at this stage.

I'm running an old, cooler Zalman ZM-NX2000 connected to a ZIIG USB 3.0 AC powered 7 port hub.

The cooler has its own on/off switch and fan speed control.

The ZIIG hub has its own power supply cooler is not running on the computer.

The ZIIG is connected to one of the USB ports 3.0 on the left side of the laptop.

When the cooler is turned on, there is a little blue light next to the switch to indicate that it is running.

Nice.

The ONLY thing that is a little clumsy on the Setup, is that I have the cooler connected to the powered hub ZIIG.  I don't have to remember to turn off the cooler when I want off the coast.  The little blue light is useful for this.  More than once I wandered into the Office at home in the middle of the night (I tend to be in place at all hours) and there are the 'blue light' reminding me that I need to disable this cooler!  That would be the best thing in the world to put everything on a timer...  The smile.

Thermal paste

It is a time to honor method to improve your situation several roles.  I saw it reported more than once the thermal paste used in the manufacturing process could be better.  You might well see a significant improvement if you decide to make this change.

Be warned - if you have a warranty now, you will have one at the moment where you have completed this procedure.

However, it may be worth considering if you're more interested in the results.

  • HP ENVY 5640: Several Questions in 1 post: Types of paper, paper thickness, length of paper

    What is the largest GSM that can fit inside the HP ENVY 5640?

    What is the variety of types of paper (such as brochures and flyers and business cards) that can fit inside the HP ENVY 5640?

    What are the maximum lengths of paper which can fit inside the HP ENVY 5640?

    All responses are GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!

    Brendan Conder
    Geeks of GC

    As far as I know, GSM is an acronym for "grams per square meter" and has exactly the same meaning as scientific notation more:

    They provide a measure of the density of the paper; in general, the higher the value, the thicker paper GSM.

    GSM values are used in the world; the major exception is America, which still uses the values of weight "books" (even though I believe that the significance of this measure differs slightly depending on the size of the paper "basic" which the eventual paper size has been cut).

  • HP Envy 700-430qe: question to downgrade HP Envy 700-430qe operating system

    This computer came with windwos 8.1 and to be honest, I hate it.  This model can downgrade to windows 7 if I have a few copies of this House, or can I get a HP disc with this system and drivers and what not... sent my bigest most question is are there drivers for this material available for windows 7 for this computer.

    J6N60AAR is the spicific product number.

    HP has no Windows 7 drivers for this unit.  Make them can be a challenge.

    Don't forget to create the external HP recovery media before doing anything.

    Update the BIOSon your PC and get your PC stable if need be.

    You have a PC delivered W8.  Did you check with HP and see if you have downgrade rights?

    Consult this publication of the article.

    If you still wish to go forward with Windows 7, then you can get the drivers of thissimilar model.

    No guarantee that they will work.

    Be careful when using Windows 7 disks that you have around your House.  If the license key has been used on other computers, then you will not be able of their.  A key, a single computer.

  • Envy 14 HDMI Question

    Specifically in this case, the envy 4-1130us Windows 8.

    From what I've seen so far on the web, the people who use to connect to the HDMI TV do not receive a picture full screen? There seems to be bars on each side, as if it will not output the full picture of the HD.

    What is the native resolution of HDMI output? It should not output 1080 p via HDMI and less via DVI, VGA?

    I don't want to spend more money on this thing, if I can even enjoy her features as usual...

    Hello

    It's something to do with the TV, the video card and ratios of the videos/movies. Nothing to do with HDMI. If your TV resolution is 1920 x 1080 (full HD or FHD) you should get FHD on your TV no matter what. The black bars top and bottom OR left and right are something to do with the format of the content NOT because of TV or HDMI or your computer.

    Hope it makes sense.

    PS. You can see many American TV shows have balck bars left & right because they up to use the format of 4:3, widescreen (16:9).

  • line and the value of manual entry of a heat question

    I have a manual, I try to grab the empno in 1 column.and another question, I try to add as many lines one by one line, but could not draw.

    Hi rihab,.

    I try to enter the empno in the 1st column

    You must use APEX_ITEM. TEXT to make your editable empno.

    Editing your app and now you can change the value.

    I think you have some trigger on empno auto generate the empno, who first then remove your value will be inserted.

    Also create a validation to check the unique number of the employee.

    and another question, I try to add as many lines as a rank but could not draw.

    You cannot add more than one column at a time according to your current code.

    First, you must present the new line, and then you can add the new line, you can't add more than one line at a time.

    Hope this helps you,

    Kind regards

  • HP Envy 700-500z: Question about wi - fi antenna tower for the wi - fi signal booster

    Hello

    I bought a wi - fi turn antenna to boost my wireless signal so I can use my Tablet outdoors during the summer.  The instructions provided with the said Tower if the computer has built in wi - fi or wireless card, do not install the antenna tower software becauce it could cause a conflict.

    It was suggested to me that I could either turn off the card go in BIOS or go to network and sharing Center and change the settings of the map, right click on wireless icon, select Disable.  In this way, I could safely install the antenna tower software and use antennas to boost my wireless signal.

    I live in the mountains of NE PA, in a pretty remote area.  'Hot spots' are so rare.  I have no Internet DSL but the signal is not strong enough to reach my Tablet if I should be on the outside.  Even in one of the rooms, the signal is not all that strong.  So it would be great help for me, if I could push my wi - fi at least in the immediate area outside my house.

    Could someone tell me if the network settings can be sure to do, or I would return just the antenna of the tower.  I will not go into the BIOS because I fear of seriously harming my computer by doing this.  But a simple change in network settings, I'm pretty confident that I could.

    Thank you

    Sandra Knapp

    Hello Dave,

    Yes, I suppose I could do that, last spring, they have installed a new router and told me that he would have a stronger signal for wi - fi, but it did not help me using my Tablet out on the patio at all.  I couldn't get a signal here, nothing at all.  So I have a feeling they don't have anything stronger, but I could ask.

    Thank you for suggesting that.

  • 15-p248ne Pavilion: Pavilion 15-p248ne heating question

    Hello

    The laptop runs with 30-35 ° C temperature on idle, but when you play a game for an hour for example Counter Strike GO, the CPU temperature gets to 92 C. is this normal?

    I use a software called HWmonitor to show the time.

    92 is hot but not deadly. I had a similar HP with 850 M graphics laptop and it got hot, too, as around 90 c. The fan sounded like a Jet at take-off engine, but it has never been unstable or artifacted or whatever it is. They are designed to take up to about 100 ° C. I make sure that the air flow is good, raise the back of the laptop. Keep the vents in fan blown. Not much more you can do other then he underclock a bit. If you go into the profiles of power you can set the State of the CPU max 99 or 98 percent and it really helps and is not something, you see. This is essentially what happens when you run it on battery. It is in a mode that declocks the CPU for energy savings.

  • HP ENVY Notebook m7: question of sleep mode.

    When the laptop goes into mode 'sleep', it not to turn back but when turn it off by pressing the power button, then restart it, it works normally again. How can I solve this problem?

    Hello

    Try disabling the startup of Windows 10 hybrid - you can do the following.

    Open settings and select System.  Select food and sleep, and then click additional power settings - in the next window, click on "Choose what the power button" in the left pane.

    In the next window, click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" (close), then Remove the check mark from the box against 'Turn on a quick start (recommended) '.  Click on the button Save the settings, and then close windows open and stop the laptop by right clicking on the icon in Start Menu, select (Admin) command prompt and click 'Yes' to the uac prompt.

    Type (or copy and paste) the following command (including spaces) and click Enter.

    Shutdown /s /t 0

    Start the laptop and let Windows take over completely for a few minutes before checking if it is now shut down properly in the Start Menu.

    If this has fixed the problem, it may be useful by turning the quick start back on - sometimes simply remove and re-create the file will solve the problem.

  • Heating question Z5

    If I watch a few clips on 480 p for example I lose small % of batery and my back of the phone is normal but when I watch HD videos or playing games Burns my phone... What is the problem?

    Hi @cakiMK,

    Video HD and games will cause the CPU to work harder, so you should expect the phone to get more hot do those things, but should not be uncomfortable to hold.

    The handset has a built-in security which will cause the phone turns off automatically if it overheats.

  • HP ENVY 5532 - a question of alignment?

    I just bought this printer, having already owned an HP Photosmart C4180.

    Is there a way I can stop printing on an alignment sheet whenever I turn it on?  As the price of the inks and paper increase, I do not see why this printer should print an alignment sheet, you will then have to scan, so he can print another page!  This leads probably too far perfection?  Why can't be left to decide if the ink cartridges need alignment and if they do, then check that the fo alignmnt.  SO if it is possible to change the default settings to stop the alignment and the scan, I'd appreciate you telling me.

    Any help you can give me to stop all this extra use (unnecessary) of the ink and the paper would be appreciated.

    With our thanks

    Phil Harknett

    Hi Corfe,

    After that first initial alignment page is printed and analyzed successfully by the printer, it should not happen again until the cartridges are replaced.

    If she persists in each power upward, I updated the firmware of the printer, once you connect to the Internet.

    A quick fix for now would be to press the red X button on the front panel of the printer after turning on the device to cancel the alignment process and save the ink/paper.

    Please let me know if it helps.
