Thermal management T500

I have a T500 with P8400 and integrated graphics. Even if the laptop is almost always cold (and besides I use Thermaltake fanless cooling pad ixsoft) fan is almost always lit (Everest indicates that, even with the kernel time about 30 C). The fan is only triggered when it is rather cold (17th century) in the room (using the profile of energy of maximum battery life).

This behavior is ok?

What is the threshold temperature to start the fan?

How can I change the thermal management? (I tried BIOS and ThinkVantage power management)

Hello

Try the small program fancontrol.

or Tpfancontrol of Troubadix.

If all goes well, it works on the latest systems of T.

  • Looking for location of the thermal sensors on r61i

    Hi all

    My r61i 7650 (EGG) - previous with win7 as now with ubuntu 10.04 - used to start the fan early and kept running most of the time when I was intense (for example virtulalizing win7 as a guest).

    In order to have less noise, I tried tp fan control and it works great, but I wonder what temperatures to choose to 'wake up' the fan. The problem is that I know the temperature which places and which hardware sensors measure. And, what is more, I don't know, for example how hot that my gpu or anyone is allowed to become.

    In tp, fan control are listed following sensors:

    Sensor 0 - I think it is the cpu (the hottest part)

    Sensor 1

    Sensor 4

    Sensor 6

    Sensor 8

    Sensor 9

    10 sensor

    Of course, I'm looking for sound values to do not risk damage, but I do not accept the fan from when the cpu is at 35 ° C warm... ;-)

    I searched for information at thinkwiki, wiki.ubuntuusers, but did not find so many useful information for a _r_61 and google was not my friend...

    Any help appreciated

    see you soon

    Michael

    Do Lenovo release these figures of thermal tolerance. However, 53 degrees are in the temperature interval. I run my R61 at these temperatures a lot for a few months, when I left it on doing some computation intensive matlab of CPU on my laptop R61.

    Personally do not let the temperature exceeds 60 degrees for too long.

    Lenovo puts a lot of R & D in the thermal management thinkpads and tolerances.

  • El Capitan 10.11.6 freezes on MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid-2012)

    After the update of 10.11.5 10.11.6 I noticed that my macbook started to freeze just without reason. It freezes on the basic actions like the click on the right button of the mouse, keyboard typing, switching between apps, etc. "Activity Monitor" shows very low use of the CPU, RAM and HARD drive. I tried to install El Capitan from scratch with a full erase of volume but freezes appear always. Previously on 10.11.5 everything worked pretty quickly.

    Here is my system hardware:

    Processor: 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7

    Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

    SSD: SanDisk SDSSDHII480G

    Hello no,

    It seems like your Mac knows after update to El Capitan version 10.11.6, frequent crashes. Even after a reinstall full Mac OS x. If this is the case, you can try to start the Mac in safe mode.

    Safe mode (sometimes called secure boot) is a way to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks and prevents certain software from loading automatically or opening.

    OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

    If the freeze occurs in safe mode, please try resetting the SMC.

    The MSC is responsible for these and other functions of low-level on Mac Intel processor:

    • Respond to the pressures on the power button
    • Meet the display of opening and closing on portable Macs
    • Battery management
    • Thermal management
    • The SMS (motion sensor sudden)
    • Detection of ambient light
    • The keyboard backlight
    • The status indicator light (SIL) management
    • Battery status lights
    • Selection of an external (instead of internal) video source for some iMac displays

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    These procedures should be your Mac works well in no time at all. Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question.

    Have a great day.

  • Tecra 8100 CPU gets too hot

    Well, some may remember my previous post about the fan activation in my Tecra 8100.

    This laptop came to me as a gift by a customer, because the screen didn't work. After some research, the problem was the internal cold cathode that was broken. Once replaced: Yes! a free book for me! It was a Pentium III 650 Mobile, with 64 MB of RAM and a 12 GB hard drive. I replaced all the components (which are now on sale, btw), and now has a Pentium III 850 Mobile, 512 MB of RAM and a 40 GB hard drive. Someone gave me a card PCMCIA of WiFi 11 Mbit/s, and now how it works with Windows XP Professional and updated Toshiba Utilities and drivers downloaded from Toshiba USA.

    What's the buzz? SpeedFan, Motherboard Monitor and other monitoring utilities reported temperatures up 72a? Aºc in the processor. I opened the computer laptop and put thermal paste instead of the sticker that has the heat sink. Temperature guard high and utilities Toshiba even with parameters ' cooling high performance "does not have the fan to cool the cpu...

    I hangs at all, but the business cards and pcmcia laptop have too hot even with the system works with any of the applications running. Lowering of the CPU clock or the ratio helps not at all.

    I think putting a fan somewhere extra to force air circulation and that cool the cpu, unless...

    ... Toshiba could develop a utility that allows you to directly control the fan speed. I don't know if the thermal management is hardware or software-driven. If it is a software-driven, it should be easy to create a utility that directly access the fan and temperature records. It would be MUCH better than simply let the computer decide when and how long to activate the fan.

    I'm sure that Toshiba engineers are busy with more important things which will not create the utility for us, so...

    .. What to check or do to cool the CPU at more appropriate values?

    Thank you all!

    Hello

    As in you previous announcement describes the Toshiba power saver controls the CPU and fan usage.
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=12585
    This software works very well, and if you use the laptop as prescribed, you should not get all the problems and overheating problems.

    The problem is that you have changed all the devices and parts on you laptop. The new parts are effective, but produce more heat.
    On the laptop you can cool the CPU with a small fan, and if she goes out, it is necessary to decrease the performance of the processor.
    It is a simple fact. All these functions can be set with energy saver.
    In addition, it is very important that your cooling module is clear and free from dust and debris obstruct the work of fan.

    Hello

    You run the programs of any background on linux?

    I had a similar problem on another laptop that on Linux the CPU fan is still running. To solve this program that I had to set up something on the boot files and the thermal management of Linux. It was very difficult so I asked a Linux specialist for help.

    Maybe you should do the same just on a Linux forum for help. Guys know a lot and most of the users here don't work with Windows I think ;)

  • Satellite A660 - 11 M - vents on the body

    Hi all!

    Last week, I started to play ARMA 2 on my SATELLITE A660 - 11M and after 20 minutes of play, it of hot and automatically closed. I read a lot of topics in the forum and decide to clean the cooler with compressed air can. Suddenly ive noticed this laptop isn't under the reoxygenation of body orifices, exactly where where is the cooler fan. To describe this more correctly, I can say that on the side rear of the body of the laptop there is circle from vents but this grid is absolutely fully molded.
    I think it comes to Foundry defects.

    Anyone has the same problem? How can I do a breakdown of the holes?

    Hey,.

    If you mean the holes to vent on the bottom of your computer, I can say it s normal Satellite A660 doesn t have a. Friend of me has the same laptop as you and its a doesn t have holes to.
    So everything is ok with your laptop!

    It would interesting to know, if you have installed another nVidia display driver directly. These drivers have another thermal management and can cause problems.

    I recommend you to install the latest Toshiba display driver which is pretested.

  • Satellite A200 - fan works too

    Hello

    I will present my problem briefly to you in the hope that I can find a solution.

    I work with recording music. My Satellite A200 can handle the processor high and all the rest. I'm really very happy.

    But the fan works just too well even when CPU is not used much. I installed The Ultimate Troubleshooter (excellent software) in order to eliminate unnecessary software or process. My RAM is 73% free, low 0-10% CPU and my fan speed is measured at 47 degrees Celsius. My hard drive is 33 degrees Celsius. Very low.

    The boring bit, is that my fan is behaving intermittently, but even when nothing is really happening, and the temperature is still very low. I have another laptop to compare to, which is quiet and peaceful in the other corner of the room and only takes action when I activate several operations at once. I wish my Satellite to behave in a similar way.

    I cleaned the fans today, and a lot of dust came out. But still the fan curve. I tried to take control using SpeedFan 4.43, but it does not work. I don't see anywhere in the BIOS how I could control the speed of the fan.

    I need to find a solution, ideally one that doesn't involve buying a new fan, or disassemble the computer. Since the temperature is right at all times, I guess it's just the BIOS programming for constant speed activity that must change. Any suggestions? It would be appreciated.

    All the best, Shlomi.

    Hi shlumaan_1,

    > I cleaned the fans today
    How did you do that? Did you follow the instructions?
    How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system?

    There are different reasons for activity high fan and dust that blocks the fan, the thermal paste should be renewed, etc..

    Fact is that the fan will be controlled automatically to protect the equipment from overheating. What you can do is chancing the cooling method in Windows power management. I put t know what operating system you use but on Vista and Windows 7, open the power management options, change the parameters of the plan, cooling method. You can change between maximum performance and battery optimized. I would recommend setting the optimised battery.

    Also, check the BIOS version. If you have an older version, probably thermal management has been changed with a new version of the BIOS. Update the BIOS that you find on the official website of Toshiba.

    Finally, and especially if your laptop probably has a few years, that the thermal compound must be renewed. This is why I would contact an authorized service provider that will apply the correct thermal grease and also the laptop must be disassembled. Not so easy

  • Satellite A300 - overheating graphics card

    Hello.

    My Satellite A300 got recently repaired from the Toshiba official represent in my hometown of Portugal. The problem was overheating, as usual. They understood the problem, it was dust and the radiator was malfuncion. They have changed the radiator and I paid 184,5 as a repair bill. When I got home, the problem still remained, and it seems worse.

    When I start a game, like world of warcraft, for example, the graphics card will of constant 50 degrees to 100 to like 10 seconds, and then the laptop stops.
    Someone could point me in the right direction and could they be scamming?

    I mean, I paid to solve the overheating problem, but they have not solved. Next Monday, I'll see what they had to say. Should I pay for another repair (repair minimum is 80, even if anything needs to be repaired).

    PS: Just in case where, is my graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650.

    PS2: Sorry for the bad English, I'm Portuguese :)
    Thanks for reading this.

    Hello

    Theoretically it could also be a software problem if the laptop is overheating. I had the same problem because I installed display drivers not Toshiba and they had different thermal management so the laptop was overheating. I removed this display driver and installed the new Toshiba display driver and the problem was gone, because these drivers are designed and pre-tested by Toshiba.

    Otherwise I would also contact the ASP and check what they say. ;)

  • 159 - PIN MODE Satellite M70 - your suggestions

    Hello

    In time, I would try the PIN MODE (forcing a FSB of 133 MHz processor that works with 100 MHz and constant ratio FSB = 17) in my Toshiba laptop.
    I buy on auction Pentium M 1.7 GHz/2 MB/400 Mhz processor.
    Please don't tell me that the processor will be overheating I saw the two datasheet (my current processor pentium M750 and pentium M735) and first issue 27W and second 21W.
    I calculate that if I change the FSB the emit of heat will be about ewen Pentium M750.

    You have experience with this method of overclocking... ?

    You won't believe me, but I have the same laptop model and I am very interested to hear how you do it. What application you want to use to change the FSB?

    I agree with you on the CPU overheating. In my opinion of the processor the overheating is not possible because thermal management works on CPU and if the CPU will be extremely hot operations speed goes down.

    Overclocking is very interesting and not so much discussed topic on this forum.
    I'm really curious to know if other people have positive experiences with this kind of things.

    To be honest overclocking can be dangerous (property damage) and risky. Be careful with this.

  • Reset SMC

    Hello.

    I am a member on these forums and I always want to learn new things.

    What is the SMC reset?

    When is it used?

    It will erase all personal data files?

    As shown on the reset of the controller of system of management (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support

    In some situations, you may need to reset the System Management Controller (SMC your computer). Learn to identify these conditions and to reset the SMC on Macs with Intel processors.

    The MSC is responsible for many features of low level on Macs with Intel processors. These functions include:

    • Respond to the pressures on the power button
    • Meet the display of opening and closing on portable Macs
    • Battery management
    • Thermal management
    • The SMS (motion sensor sudden)
    • Detection of ambient light
    • The keyboard backlight
    • The status indicator light (SIL) management
    • Battery status lights
    • Selection of an external (instead of internal) video source for some iMac displays

    Some indicators are:

    Fans

    • The computer fans operate at high speed, even if the computer does not have a very heavy use and is properly ventilated.

    Lights

    • The backlight on the keypad seems to behave correctly (on Macs with this feature).
    • The status indicator light (SIL) seems to behave correctly (on Mac computers have a SIL).
    • Battery LEDs, if present, appear to behave incorrectly (on portable computers that use non-removable batteries).
    • The backlight of the screen does not correctly to changes in ambient light on Macs with this feature.

    Power

    • The computer does not respond to the when you press the power button.
    • A Mac laptop does not respond correctly when you close or open the cover.
    • The computer sleeps or stops unexpectedly.
    • The battery does not seem to load correctly.
    • The MagSafe LED power adapter does not seem to indicate the correct activity.

    The system performance

    • The computer is running unusually slowly although it does not abnormally high CPU utilization.
    • Application icons can "bounce" on the dock for a while at the launch.
    • Applications may not work correctly or may stop responding after the opening.

    Video

    • A computer that supports target display mode does not switch in or out of target display mode as expected.
    • Target a computer that supports target display mode toggle in or out of view at unexpected times.

    Enlightenment of port

    And no, it will not erase all personal files.

  • Qosmio X 770 - no support of 3D vision with nVidia driver

    Hello

    I just bought a Qosmio x 770-107 with nVidia 3D Vision package. All right, I could enable stereoscopic 3D with the pre-installed drivers.

    Then tried to access some 3D content (in the browser) and after a trial ([http://www.3dvisionlive.com/3dv-html5-detection]), I discovered that I have an out of date version driver for my GTX560M card and need to update before.

    First step is to download the right driver from nVidia (280.26-notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql). Then I saw that failed the system compatibility test saying that I don't have the appropriate hardware for it, which is false, double checked what I downloaded and covered material including GTX560M.

    So, this is the first problem.

    Then also studying, I managed to modify the INFs to accept and install the driver.
    It worked, I got the latest driver from nVidia (using a clean installation, remove all first).
    Then I discovered a new (frustrating) problem, when you try to reactivate the stereoscopic 3D, saying that I do not have a stereo monitor and disable this feature in the menu.

    How can we get appropriate and entirely achievable latest drivers for our GPU with support for 3D Vision?

    Kind regards
    Razvan

    Hey Buddy,

    That s illustrated why Toshiba recommends installing only their own drivers and not 3 third-party drivers from nVidia.

    The reason is that no one has tested these drivers on your laptop so probably a few features such as 3D vision don t work. In addition, your laptop could overheat due to different thermal management.

    I recommend you to install the latest display driver Toshiba you can find on the page of Toshiba. These drivers are tested and work properly with your laptop.
