hottest part of your t43?

#1 Post by eric530 » Sat Aug 13, 2005 11:42 pm

Anyone ever notice what part of their laptop gets the hottest?
my 14.1 t43 (undervolted and using wireless) is fine all over the bottom except for directly under the touchpad, which is way to hot for my liking

Thanks
Eric

The area under the palmrest (where the wireless card is installed) generally gets the hottest, although the area under the GPU gets even hotter if I am running anything that does 3D.

no it does NOT.. :shock:
:D

only heat emanating from your thinkpads electronics counts..
and if ANYONE thinks their T40whatever is hot they never experienced the 760ED..

that one would press your pants and leave a heat rash on your legs..

I'd say on the bottom where the spacebar would be, Northbridge chips are burning up here.
My Pentium M is colder than the Northbridge...

Warm on bottom left(CPU), warm on bottom under touchpad at CPU idle. If CPU is 100% loading for 20 minutes, the bottom left, center and under touchpad are too hot to touch. The hottest place is under the touchpad.
