CPU Temperature Higher in 7
Posted: Mon Nov 02, 2009 12:04 am
Did anyone also notice that CPU temperatures are higher in Windows 7 than they were in Vista?
I used to stay around 35-38 degrees in Vista, but in Windows 7 I get temperatures in the 40-45 section doing the same things...
Could it be some driver I've messed up somewhere?
EDIT:
Interesting... It seems to go down to the previous levels if I switch to integrated.
In addition, I remember running 7 with graphics in Discrete mode only (BIOS set) at around the 36-40 temperatures...
EDIT2:
Also interesting... I'm using RMClock to undervolt the processor and it seems that it's gone back to the normal range. Perhaps the preload Vista undervolts the processor?
