constantly running fan - GRT815M

[pmitev]

Hi,
I am sorry but without search feature one needs to be really lucky (or persistent) to find a solution if it is exists...
Anyway, I have VAIO PGC-GRT815M with constantly running fan, I mean I never got my fan stopped. Today I saw almost the same computer PGC-GRT815E and it works like I supposed that it should be ¿ fans start only when the CPU is overheated. Does anybody know what is the normal behavior, before I call the support.

To "pmitev", the problem of your laptop does not show up in mine, in mine the cooling works great. The cooling's just workedreally hard when I use more than 70% of CPU, and below 70% of CPU the fan works very quiet.:smileyhappy: It means the cooling nearly works everytime.
The normal temperature of my CPU is 50-60'C, and maximum is 84'C but sometime the CPU can up to 2.83 - 2.9Ghz (if the MobileMeter showed the right number, I'm not sure). The temperature of HDD is 40'C in normal, and maximum is 45'C.
You should check it with yours, may be you not really need to repair your laptop. Have a nice day:smileygrin:

im suprised you still have a CPU if it got to 84 degrees..thats 1 degree of the mobo limits..

Otherwise theyre pretty avg temps. .


and kee-lo, watercooling in a laptop? wouldnt that mean carrying an extra box with you? i think laptops should move towards heat pipe technologies like shuttles :smileygrin: silent

This morning I left my laptop lid up and found the cat sleeping on the speaker/keyboard where it's hottest. Bring on cooling lol.

Wow, is 84'C worse? it's only reach the maximum temps when I playing game, with another application CPU's about 60-70'C. Does my game has some errors, because I think my laptop has not, it works well and nothing serious had happened. The only thing is when I playing game, sometime the game was quitted and only one game has that problem. Do ya think my laptop has any problem or does the game have?

All games use a lot of CPU, it's natural.
As long as it doesn't go > 70 you should be fine.

yeh 84 degrees when playing a game sounds extremely hot. games are processor intensive, gpu intensive, generally everything intensive although the laptop should be able to maintain itself under 70 degrees..

84 degrees could result in longterm system damage. A damaged gpu or something is gonna a cost you alot..

laptop cooler...i suggest

Same for the CPU.
