Tx series temperature

#1 Post by ZaBeL » Tue Oct 25, 2005 1:44 pm

Hello!
I have made a simple test to check the temp on my T43, se the sign for specs.
The reason why i did this is because wonder if my T43's temp was high or not.
Well, it would be nice if you made the test's on your computer.

To do the test you need:
PCmark04 (Swedish FTP, sweclockers.se) - makes the computer work a little..
Mobile Meter (Original site, google found) - Checks temp

The steps:
Install both programs.

1. Start mobile meter, note your idle temp.
2. Start PCmark04
3. Push "Run PCMARK" button, and watch your temp while the tests are running.
4. Note your highest temp...
5. Write your temp here at the forum... looking something like this:

Code: Select all

Thinkpad Modell: Tx/Xx Series
idle:
Temperature: xx Celsius
HDD: xx Celsius

Pcmark04:
Temperature: xx Celsius
HDD: xx Celsius

Room Temperature: xx Celsius
BTW, remember to run your thinkpad at maximum powerprofile, so you dont run the tests at 800 mhz or something :)
Keep topic clean, no discussion... just temps

As always, i hope you excuse my english...
