Worried about my temperatures..
 

Hi, few days ago some of my games started to lag, the behaviour looks a lot like heating issues(it lags, but if I pause or alt+tab for a while, than when I go back it doesnt lag anymore, things like that)

So I let my HWMonitor open, and surprisingly, its not my GPU, my GPU keeps its 80-90 temperature that always had, but my tzs0 and tzs1(not a clue what are those) are getting 100+ degrees, I really dont remember those being more hot than my GPU...

So I just downloaded the Prime95 to confirm that the heating is due cpu stressing, and indeed the temps start getting hight on tzs0 and tsz1 really fast, running for a few meanutes it got stable at 96-98 degrees, tzs0 is a few more hot...They both are hotter than my CPU cores( the cores keep at 77-88)...

So..I dont know if this is the right place to ask, sorry if Im being incovenient...
But why a so sudden heating issue? Im afraid a fan can be malfunctioning, but I never get to check fans with any program( speedFan and everest doesnt show fan info...)

Im on a win7 64, on a notebook gateway P-7908u FX..

I never opened my notebook, and Im a ridiculous fagg scared of doing such a thing, Id probaly destroy everything, or never get it to work again without knowing the reason ._.

Specs for the comp:

All these temps are Celsius, right? If not, heat's not you're problem.

As for those readings, where are they in HWMonitor? When I open it, each set of readings is grouped by component. What component are those temperatures under? I don't have any similar name for any of my temps.

Yes, celsius.
Their under ACPI..

I opened(today) some removable parts at the bottom, one covers the HDDs, other memory and stuff I cant recognize(I cant access cpu or GPU by those openable parts at the bottom), and they where pretty ok, no many dust at all...

Damn, I really want to avoid opening the damn thing

A couple things for you to think about on this. What kind of surface do you normally have your laptop on? Laptops are not often built for good cooling, so you might need to get more space between it and the surface you have it on. Hard smooth surfaces are best, while having it on bed or a couch is bad due to a lack of heat dissapation. I run my laptop on a desk and use spacers to keep the back an extra 1/4-1/2 inch off the desk (you could use 1-2 matchbooks under each back 'foot'). If the added air space does not help, you can always look into cooling pads like these:

OP, do you have access to compressed air? Might be worth blowing on the openings to the case to see if you get a cloud of dust.

[QUOTE=Christenson;278200]OP, do you have access to compressed air? Might be worth blowing on the openings to the case to see if you get a cloud of dust.[/QUOTE][b]NO! Do not use compressed air for that purpose.[/b] It may have some condensed water in it, which your circuitry wouldn't like. Also, depending on the source, you might not be sure of limiting the pressure so as not to damage tender components.

Use some product especially designed for dusting electronic circuitry, such as 3M Dust Remover (or other brand of "compressed gas duster"), which you can get at an office supply store or most computer departments of other stores. It's a can of compressed fluoroethane (which doesn't harm the ozone layer as CFCs do) with a long narrow straw to fit on the nozzle and instructions for cleaning use.

In the tech school I go to we use an air compressor all the time for the purpose of cleaning out systems (usually between 50 to 100 psi depending on the part) and we have never had an issue with condensation in the air line or damaging a component ( the only time we have had damage done is when a freshman decided to pump 100 psi directly onto a CPU fan). and by the way, your system should never really go above 70 degrees Celsius (100 degrees boils water). My Compaq Presario 2190 laptop never goes above 60 with max load on all components and my Gamer's CPU, FETS, and GPU never have gone above 50, 70, and 65 degrees Celsius respectively. So either there's a lot of dust or poor airflow.

and we have never had an issue with condensation in the air line[/QUOTE]Fine. :smile: You have a nice dry system. That's not true of all other compressed air systems.

Good point...
I've just never really had much luck with the air cans ; I had a couple times when even after I made sure the line was clear of the chemical it sprayed onto my computer and discolored a couple motherboards and GPU cards (even destroyed a sound card).

[QUOTE=GeekRuler;278475]I've just never really had much luck with the air cans ;[/QUOTE]By "air cans", do you mean items specifically labelled as compressed gas cleaners, suitable for use on electronics equipment, containing not air but some fluorohydrocarbon?

[quote]I had a couple times when even after I made sure the line was clear of the chemical it sprayed onto my computer and discolored a couple motherboards and GPU cards (even destroyed a sound card).[/quote]"made sure the line was clear of the chemical" doesn't seem like something I'd say about my canned dust remover. By "line" do you mean the thin straw that is supposed to be inserted in the actuator nozzle?

Did the can have both an instruction to always hold can upright during use, a precaution to never tilt, shake or turn can upside down before or during use, and a warning that such tilt, shake or upside-down turning could cause the can to spray liquid instead of gas?

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough (got a lot of things going wrong right now)
The cans I buy use fluorohydrocarbons (forgot the name of the chemical so I resorted to using air as a substitute instead) I always hold the button down for a second or two before actually using it on a component (to clear out any of the fluorohydrocarbon that might have built up in the nozzle of the can), and I've only ever shaken the can when it specifically told me to do so in the directions. It would only be a lite mist whenever it happened and usually would happen if I shifted the can just a tad too fast or sometimes after setting it down for a couple seconds and then using it again. I try not to run them cold and the one time I did, I had wrapped a damp hot cloth around it (had real stubborn dirt clumps in a chipset heatsink). Most of the cans that I use do say to not shake or make sudden movements with them while in use. I've never tilted a can upside down as I'm using it; I've seen the burns that it can cause on the skin.
