How Hot Should MY T43 get?

[shednz]

HI all I have recently installed dragon 9 speech recognition software on my T-43 and have noticed my computer is getting hotter than normal . I am using the fan control program that is widely posted around here (in an effort to control the T-43's goddam annoying awful fan noise, with some success, though not as much as permaenently listening to music while working) and have noticed since installing dragon if I am using it for a while I get hot - the hottest I have seen is 70 degrees celsius, at which point I shut it down for a while to cool - Ihad never seen the fan control icon go red before. Is this too hot, should I worry or is it okay to operate around this temperature. Cheers for any help you can give, Scott.

hmm,.
slightly warmer than the normal
but Thinkpad T43 can do it. no worry

Could you post your T43 temperature readings as TPFanControl shows:

CPU 47°C (0x78)
APS 50°C (0x79)
PCM 38°C (0x7a)
GPU 51°C (0x7b)
BAT 38°C (0x7c)
BAT 33°C (0x7e)
BUS 0°C (0xc0)
PCI 0°C (0xc1)
PWR 0°C (0xc2)
XC3 0°C (0xc3)
My T42p temps

I wonder if the heatsink fan installed on all the T4x series laptop can dissipate the heat produced by the CPU/GPU can reduce its temperature under the 45C with the fan run at 2900-3000rpm. As you can see in my readings, CPU is 48C, GPU 51C (both undervolted & underclocked). Mind sharing T42p/T43p temp readings

Here they go - overall fan temperature with this reading is about 55

CPU 57°C (0x78)
APS 48°C (0x79)
PCM 37°C (0x7a)
GPU 56°C (0x7b)
BAT 41°C (0x7c)
BAT 37°C (0x7e)
BUS 50°C (0xc0)
PCI 54°C (0xc1)
PWR 53°C (0xc2)

cheers for any help you can offer : )
