I have a Toshiba Satellite L755 laptop with an i3 2350M processor; CPU-Z shows the technology as 32 nm. I got this laptop in 2012 and have been using it sparingly since October last year, when I got a new Dell laptop.

The i3 processor has always run between 45 and 50 degrees for as long as I can remember; I don't remember ever seeing it drop below 40 degrees. Sometimes it goes up to 60 and even 70 when under load.

The Dell laptop I bought last year has an i5 4200U processor; CPU-Z shows the technology as 22nm. SpeedFan always shows its temperature at around 30 degrees; the fluctuations are generally + / - 5 degrees, but most of the time its at 29 or 30 degrees.

When I had bought the Dell i5 laptop, I had thought that since it has a more powerful processor, it would run at higher temperatures. Instead, its the other way round.

Is it because it is newer technology? Is it also because Dell does something to bring down temperatures that Toshiba doesn't? I've already run a blower to remove dust from both laptops.

Is the 45 to 50 degree temperature normal for the i3? The reason I'm asking is because I want to download the offline Wikipedia; last time I downloaded it, it was around 9 GBs (compressed file). On the 1 mbps connection I have, it will take many hours, and so I thought I'd download it on the Toshiba laptop since its old and I've busted its battery by using it too much while keeping it connected to the power line. It is only when I ran SpeedFan on both laptops that I noticed that the i5 is cooler. :)

Someone, please help regarding the i3 processor temperature I mentioned in the previous post. The processor is an i3 2350M; bought the laptop in 2012; the temperature now never comes down to below 50 degrees; it even reaches 70 degrees. Earlier, it used to stay between 45 and 50. How do I bring down the temperature? I looked in the Task Manager for any program I could kill, but there's only the AV and the firewall; the rest are all Windows programs (lots of svchost.exe ones). The CPU itself generally stays below 50%.

I've heard many people talk of applying thermal paste to the processor. I myself do not know how to do this and I will not open the processor on my own, but I can ask my regular computer wala to do it for me. Please tell me about which paste I should apply, and its cost. Is there a possibility that the processor may get damaged trying to apply the paste?

It should be near 0% when it's idle. Considering you bought the Laptop in 2012, I'd say take it to a service center(or any nearby shop where they fix Laptop) & get a complete service done. They should do a complete cleanup & also reapply TIM. Should cost overall below 1k.

DIY will cost him Rs 400-500 while allowing him to use good TIM. Laptop "service" centers here don't have anything other than Rs 30 el-cheapo Chinese TIM.

Well he could always give them a pack of good TIM to apply though. People who aren't comfortable or who don't have experience tinkering with computers shouldn't tinker with Laptops first IMHO.

The dell laptop is having 4200U processor which is ULV processor that runs at 17 watts the processor of thosiba uses a 35w processor . You may feel the toshiba laptop may run hotter as it uses a processor that consumes more power and also its 3 years old and the thermal paste might have hardened and some dust might have accumulated in its fan.

DDR3 SODIMM Kit

Hello everyone!
:wave:

I have an Acer Aspire V3-551 laptop which came pre-bundled with 6GB memory. I am looking to buy an 8GB dual channel kit and am inclined to get the Corsair CMSO8GX3M2A1600C11 kit, Corsair Memory — 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 SODIMM Memory (CMSO8GX3M2A1600C11)

Is it a good choice, or should I look for another brand and model?

Hi Guys, I want a super slim laptop. I need it to carry in my DSLR backpack.
It should read SD cards, have enough disk space to store about 3 days of RAW photo clicks(in case of SSD), should run Lightroom fluidly if not Photoshop. The new Macbook comes close but it have Intel Core M processor and no SD card. And also both Macbook Air and new Macbook are very costly.
Please suggest some alternative.

Try putting a tiny drop of machine oil on the fans's axel where it sits in the winding. Also clean the dust off of the fan. And don't use local paste. It dries up within 40-50 hours of use and you need to re-apply it again. :|
