i7 2760QM High Temp!

[Tibrocks]

Hi All,

I have a Dell Precision m4600 laptop with Intel i7 2760QM CPU, recently upgraded graphics card to nvidia Quadro 2000M and added 16GB RAM.

Fresh install of Win 10, I ran a CPU stress test in Dell SupportAssist software.

Noticed CPU temp peaked at 100*C and it stabilized at ~91*C however the short 100*C appears to be on Core #3?

Is this expected? pls see image attached

I have re-pasted it properly, good quality paste and just a thin layer applied... not sure what's wrong and because I just got the laptop I don't know what the temps were like before.. doubt it's normal.


Thanks

What thermal compound did you use? It is also very easy to unevenly place the compound since no pressure is applied (laptop CPUs have no lids) so you might have to spread it yourself carefully with a piece of plastic.

I have used Shin-Etsu paste, and spread it on the entire surface with a card so that is evenly distributed and all corners covered.
Should I re-paste it? I thought I should ask because don't know if these temps are normal for this model?

For the moment I have Disabled Turbo boost from bios and processor isn't running that hot, 88*C max with Turbo disabled.

UPDATE: re-pasted today and all back to normal, max temp 82*C with Turbo Boost enabled!

Thx
