Hallo,

I've a T42 UC2M1GE, with 80 GB HDD (Hitachi) and 2 GB RAM.

CHC shows me, that the temperature is round about 40-43 degree while I work with it. Is this temperature 'normal'?

In some situations, when the CPU is more required, the temperature can grow to 55-60 degree, but the fan cools down the temperature immediately to 40-43 degree. 40-43 degree is like a avarage temperature during the whole day. What is your average temperature of your T42?

Regards

I think 40 degrees is the "default" temperature that the fan is trying to achieve, so it is reasonable. Do not forget that the P-M has been designed to work under much higher temps ( >80C) so 40C shouldn't be a problem.

Don't worry I think that's very very normal. It could go up to 80degrees with my T43p. And it's averagin between 50-60degrees.

I know it's kinda shocking at first.

Thanks for your answers!

I'm not worry about the 40 degree temperature as an avarage value. It seems, that working with 2 GB RAM makes the notebook a little bit hoter than working with 1 GB (round about 1 degree).

If 40 degree is the default all is fine.

My T43 1.86Ghz CPU temperature is around 50degree.when play need for speed,it will around 80degree.But everything are find.
when I used T20 before,the 1G P3 cpu temperature always gone above 90 degree.And it just worked fine!

That's normal, unless your room is freezing in which case your laptop is running very hot!

If it's normal room temp, 40-44C is nothing to be concerned with.

mine idles at 50c, and full load while overclocked 9600 is 78c. I was kinda worried about this but the laptop is rock stable, and the bottom of the laptop doesnt feel like its overheating. The processor cools down to 50 after I stop gaming, so its ok
