the temperature of my t43p is keep stay at over 80c with the fan level 7.
is this normal?
i just play the star craft.
how about you guys?

the tem was drop quickly from 82c to 52c in couple mins after i exit the game.
i am so worry about this.

Why worry about a sudden temperature drop? I have seen my T43 jump 10 degrees in 2-3 seconds in those kind of situations. Unless there is CPU and/or GPU throttling going on, you are safe.

I could be wrong, but I read it that the OPs concern is over the high temps while playing games, not the sudden drop in temp afterwards.

yup, i just wondering is this normal thing that the tem is so high with level 7 fan?
its just star craft.
someone says their t43 can keep the tem around 40c in any situation.

My T41p regularly goes to 80°c during intensive GIS processing and I've had it since December 2003. I don't think it is anything to worry about.

My T42 (Dothan) usually hovers at the high seventies under 100% load, but I _have_ seen it exceed 85 degrees in some (rather rare) cases. I know because it causes NHC to throw a warning. I never saw the PC crash or reboot because of that, and if you aren't experiencing issues, I'd say you shouldn't worry.

T41 - ~70c - CivIV

How can you tell what temp your chip is? Is this part of the standard IBM load? Where is it in the menu?

If you hit around 88 deg C then the bios will throttle back the CPU... that has often been the cause of games slowing down and low 3dmark scores. I have my setup with tpfancontrol set something like:

40deg - fan 1
45deg - fan 2
50 deg- fan 4
55deg - fan 8
60deg -fan 16
65deg - fan 32
70deg - fan 63 (max fan from what I understand)
80deg - fan 128 (bios control to throttle)

So far, I haven't seen temps go over 65deg this way. Used to get over 80deg. This is probably good since I understand overheating can shorten the life of CPU/GPU and other components. Will be much cheaper to replace the fan than the systemboard if the fan goes because I am using it more. I am also using NHC to lower the voltage of the CPU.

Never exceeded 73 degrees c on a 1.7 Ghz T42 2379-DXU. Tested by looping http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=12850 four times.
There's a built-in shutdown protection in all P-Ms that will shutdown the PC at 100 degrees c.
