Hi,

I have Lenovo SL510 with
CPU: Intel Core Duo T6570, 2.1 GHz and
HDD: Fujitsu MJA2320BH (5 400 RPM).

I´d like to ask what typical temperatures are?

The fan runs all the time (even without any load), temperatures without load are:
HD0 = 42 C
Temp1 = 43 C
Core0 = 30 C
Core1 = 30 C
(Temperature of room, where the notebook is: 23 C)
(I used SpeedFan 4.46 utility to get these temperatures.)

And with load it is little bit higher (for instance: HD0 = 47 C)

I´ve already cleaned the cooler and put new thermal grease in.


Is HD0 = 42 C and the other ones perfectly normal? Or should I do something about it? Is it normal, that the fan runs all the time?

I have one like yours, but I don't recall the fan running all the time. I know that the fan did not run all the time. I don't use it anymore except to run a tax program once a year nowadays. I know the SL510 is cool to the touch with a good battery life.

Sorry about my late post here. But your temp is ok. You don't have to worry about it until 60 degrees. Mine has 47 degree temp.
If your heatsink fan running non-stop you have to clear up your heatsink from thermal paste and cpu. Which thermal paste you using?
I'm using Arctic Silver 5.
