Z61t overheats?

Hi, my laptoo Z61t below seems to be extremely hot for some time. Even the hinges (which are metal) for the screen seem to very hot and I can't touch them for more than a few seconds. Heating is more pronounced to the mesh area under which, I guess, is the fan. Hope that someone can suggest what is a normal temperature for this notebook and how I can monitor it. In addition, suggestions on potential overheatign troubleshooting would be appreciated as well. Thank you

  • Process creates the CPU to overheat and the Fans to run like crazy:

    I am ripping DVDs on different Macbook cradle fully aware that it's requiring treatment.

    The 2011 with 16 GB of ram and hard disk SSD, the process runs on 330% of the processor, blasting the ability and heat

    revolves around 100 c/213 F.

    Interesting enough the same process on 2 late Mo Pro 2008 with less ram do not overheat in the extraction process. The program are identical on all the Pros of 3 MB. The processes are the same, but on the old MBpros the processor load is between 130-150% up to more heating is not that great a problem.

    But the MBPro of 2011 with top material tearing overheating of the processor and fans running at full speed.

    I noticed that too much work with other programs or is running only a few programs at the same time seem to heat from the processor and the fans make some noise + cpu run hot with my MBpro 2011 and El Capitan.

    It is possible to restrict a program that use a large part of the resources to avoid overheating?

    Other solutions?

    Well a Late 2008 Macbook Pro has a intel core 2 duo, so the max he could run is 200% (2 CPUs time 100%) if the application can do enough on 2 processors in parallel.

    Your 2011 Macbook Pro has very probably a 4 core CPU intel i7 with hyper-threading.  If an application can use hyper-fils, there is a potential of 800% max.  The 330% could just be that the DVD cannot keep up with the CPU, so it does not hit its maximum potential because of the famine of data.

    I don't know if the speed of the DVD drive in 2008 was the same as the 2011.  If the 2011 is able to read data more quickly than the 2008, then it can provide given the CPU faster, keep the much busier CPU so it can consume more power, and more power consumption more than the heat generated.

    MacBook pro 2011 ends a DVD in less time than the 2008?

    Basically, you are trying to compare 'Granny Smith' vs 'Golden Delicious' apples and expects the same taste.

    Regarding the other programs, put this SSD in your Macbook Pro means that any code or data that the application needs to get the disc are convinced order or magnitude faster, so that the application did not slow the CPU and keep crank, causing the CPU to keep them busy and thus attract more power, which is converted into heat causing fans to run.

    It is also possible that your SSD generates more heat.  Solid State does not always mean longer running costs.  Much would depend on the brand and the model of the SSD and it is the power profile, and it draws more power for writing vs readings, and how much nature more expensive power you're done.

    Information point.  I put an SSD in my 2009 27 "iMac and it works more hot because my iMac can do more in less time.  I put an SSD in my Macbook Pro 2011 and if I ask him to do a lot of work, like backups, it starts its fans, as the SSD is always quick to provide data for backup, there is no waiting for the discs, leaving the lower idle CPU.

    Hello

    Of course, the cooling modules can be replaced.

    According to your message, you are not familiar with these things one so you should get in touch with a local ASP (authorized service provider) who could order a cooling right and compatible module and could replace it.
    In addition the new thermal grease which is placed between the CPU and cooling modules must be added and renewed.

    Hey guys, any help would be appreciated.

    My 026 has recently started to overheat and stopping at random during video games. I can't even run TF2 to learn more, then one hour unless he suddenly died on me. It is never used for this months of use.

    I can assume there is a problem with my video card. I tried to download drivers to Toshibas site and the latest versions of Nvidia without change. I've already booked a Mobilecare service, I wanted to just evaluate what might be the possible problems.

    Hello

    Maybe this problem of high temperature of s.
    High temperature causes a closing down in order to protect the equipment against damage.
    But the question is why the temperature increases to critical level?
    One of the reasons could be a page nvidia graphics card driver. Such driver does contain protection against overheating. Therefore, use the driver of Toshiba page.

  • Equium A300D - 13 X overheats and turns off by itself

    The laptop is only 14 months old the problem occurred for a while now and can be annoying.
    The time can varry on when the device is overheating then go off.

    I cleaned the unit to the compressed air to get rid of any dust.
    The fan works fine, the software is genuine.

    Can someone help thank you.

    > This seems to be a problem in the face of most of the people with an Equium a300d but not one that Toshiba is ready to own up to. I have the same problem with my machine, which is 15 months old
    It is a big nonsense!

    You will notice a question also on all series of laptop, any manufacturer!
    Your laptop is 15 months old! More than 2 years!
    Did you clean the fans, cooling grids, etc. during this period?
    I imagine that you didn t.

    You know that laptop still overheats if cooling modules are full of dust and debris, this prevents air circulation and temperature arises at a higher level!

    I clean my vents from time to time with the help of compressed air jet and guess what? It is useful!

    Your laptop computer shut down automatically?
    If you didn t notice any unexpected shut downs, then the computer laptop doesn't overheat!

    > The mousepad has a tendency to overheat so
    My touchpad is too hot. This is not unusual due to the internal temperature for laptop!
    The laptop as CPU and GPU parts produce a lot of heat and, therefore, the other parts may be hot too.

    > I try to keep my dust-free specifications, but it's not helping and my left leg Burns
    I see you don t use the laptop on the table. This is the main reason why the laptop can not be properly cooled and raises the temperature of laptops!

    Look, the vents are placed at the bottom of the unit and they must be free! It is very important to ensure a flow of ACI cooling properly and very fresh!
    In addition it should be always enough free space around the laptop even if the laptop was sitting on the desk.

    So, don t use in bed, sofa, sofa etc is undesirable and very risky because notebooks cooling module does not work as it should.

  • Satellite P500 overheats constantly all game

    I had the laptop for about 3 months now and for the last 6 weeks, he was constantly overheating.
    I brush the air vents to get rid of the dust, but it doesn't seem to help.

    The temperature will constantly be at 47%, then suddenly it will overheat after about 30 min of play.
    Also, I never hear any sign that the fan is going faster.

    Can someone please.
    I have to do something or should I just put up with every half hour of brushing to fans?

    Hey Buddy,

    What games can you play on your new Satellite P500?
    By the way: are you satisfied with this laptop? I also think of buying a Satellite P500 for home use. It seems to be interesting for this because it has a large screen and a keyboard with numeric keypad.

    Anyway, if you have installed another display driver remove and install the driver display Toshiba directly. They are pre-tested and don't overheat your laptop.

    Hello

    Especially the laptop overheats because the cooling module doesn t cool unique pieces in the right way.
    Fans do not twist full implementation because of the dust and debris inside the laptop.
    After a long time working, it s advisable to clean the cooling modules.

    How?
    Well, the simplest method is a use of the vacuum cleaner. But be careful

    If it helps the laptop must be checked by a technician.
    The technician can renew the thermal paste between the CPU and the cooling module.
    Important to take heat from the CPU thermal paste.

    Last but not least do not forget that there is enough free space around the laptop.
    The free space is important for air circulation correctly

  • Replacing the hard drive in a z61t

    I have a ThinkPad z61t (9441-4SE) with a 80 GB hard drive and I would like to replace it. Both drives I look are Hitachi 5K 320 (320GB) and Hitachi 5 K 500. B (500 GB).

    These readers are compatible with the Active Protection system and with my laptop? I really don't want to spend twice as much on a Lenovo drive (which is simply a Hitachi drive renamed).

    Also, is there a size limit of the z61t HDD? I noticed that Lenovo website only lists a 320 GB drive for a z61t, but sells 500 GB disks for other ThinkPad models.

    Thank you.

    First Lenovo didn't just use drive HARD Hitachi, they also use Seagate and fujitsu too.

    As long as the hard drive is 9.5 mm thick, 2.5-inch form factor SATA drive, then it is correct. 500 gig is possible, I used one in a Z61t.

  • Satellite A200-1BJ tends to overheat and cutting everything in game

    I have a problem with my laptop. He has a tendency to overheat and shut down when I play games. CPU was just before 107C the emergency stop.

    Fan works, but fan speed gets ever faster from 70 ° C to stop. (I know it can go faster, because when I flashed the Bios, he spends at maximum speed.)

    So my question is: is there a way I can force fan to move at full speed?

    Hi Jason

    > I have problem with my laptop. He has a tendency to overheat and shut down when I play games. CPU was just before 107C the emergency stop.
    I agree with you. It really looks like an overheating problem.
    If the internal temperature reaches a critical level then the laptop stops automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.

    Why a laptop overheat?
    Well, there are various reasons such warm-ups.
    First of all it is possible that don t cooling modules work correctly because of the dust and debris inside the laptop.

    You must also make sure that there is enough free space around the laptop to ensure fresh air circulation.

    At the other hand as a graphic driver non-Toshiba could cause an overheating problem.
    This is why you should always use a graphics driver for the Toshiba driver page.

    Please check the points mentioned and maybe you might know the reason for the overheating problem.

  • Z61t, logins, WPA2

    How can I do to my work with WPA2 Z61t logins?

    My a AC v5.02 Z61t, which is uptodate by update Active. It works fine, except in one place. My girlfriend uses WPA2 for wireless home audio and AC refuses to connect to that: it will always fail to authenticate. I can do the Z61t connect using WPA2 use Windows to set up the wireless, so the problem seems to be with AC unfortunately using Windows isn't a big part of the solution, since this seems to upset AC: when you use Windows wireless radio wireless of the Z61t periodically goes off, I have to use the Fn + F5 to revive (and then to reconnect) which is not a problem I encounter when using the AC.

    The fix was to change the AES to TKIP data encryption: access connections, change the profile > Wireless Settings > encryption = TKIP.

    Firstly, you must ensure that you are using a Toshiba display driver not a 3rd party site. These pilots don't overheat protection and so they can cause overheating or destroy the graphics chip.
