Optimus iv temperature worries

[alex76]

Hi

I had some sound glitching problems that were present through headphones, the built in speakers and my usb speakers. I took a look at the temps and the laptop mainboard is 67 degrees Celsius idle. This is much higher than my desktop computer which is usually about 28 degrees. I have cleaned the laptop but am still getting the same temps. The sound issue has resolved itself but should I worry about my laptop overheating because I play games on it quite a lot.

Thanks

Alex

are you using a laptop cooler? what are the temps of your gpu?

No I am not using a cooler, my gpu is 65 c. idle which seems hot as well

Thanks

I have an Optimus V and I'm sitting at 47C semi-idle (not gaming). I know you say you've cleaned the laptop but have you opened it up to clear the usual carpet of fur which builds up between the fan and the heatsink?

Have ordered a laptop cooler and will clean laptop again, hope that will improve things

Thanks
