Overheating problems

Back to school!!
As long as your cpu remains below 70c(intel), and gpu below 85c(for nVidia GTX4xx series max is 95c, for GTX5xx its 90c) you are good to go.

In core temp, the frequency is 1999.7Mhz, why?
It should be at 2666.7Mhz(for q8400 - 2.66Ghz) isnt it?
Your cpu(and gpu if you have a newer one) automatically reduces frequency in idle to save power, on load it increases to full frequency, nothing to worry there.

My laptop overheats.
HCL Leaptop. 3 gb Ram. Intel Dual core@2.0 Ghz.Nvidia 8200m

When I do gaming temparature reaches 59c and in idle it just doesnt dip below 49c no matter how cold or hot surroundings.
Are these normal?

though the idle temp is on higher side the load temp is normal.

BTW, what app you have used to measure temps ?

try power saving option in windows ( set it to minimal power/max battery ) and make sure power saving features are enabled in bios as well.

Do a cleanup of the air vents and if it's out of warranty you can try and attempt clean the laptop from inside , dismount the cpu HSF, clean it and remount it with some good TIM.

When I use BIOS it shows temp hovering around 65c and system temp as 40-45c but when I use Real temp3.60 it shows 45-52C. Why so? Also under stress in real temp it goes upto 70c. Is it ok.

Finally, today I installed Hyper 212 Plus! :D

Yesterday, with Intel Stock HSF my temps were 42-50°C with general usage and it went up to 85°C when rendering! :shock:

Today, after installing Hyper 212, general usage temps are 38-42°C and 65°C when rendering! So I guess I installed it properly! :D

where do you live?
what is your idle room temp?

btw summer is approaching
so cpu tends to get hot while on load(heavy usage)
mine too reaches 55+ easily while gaming
