So I finally got a temperature monitor after some thought and checking on which would be the best; I went with HWMonitor. I am monitoring temps with only a few things running: FireFox and HWMonitor, and I only did start-up about 10 minutes ago.
Here are my temps:
----
ACPI hardware monitor
Temperature sensor 0 58°C (135°F)
Secifies:
Min: 45C Max 59C
The reading in italics seems high since the min is specified as 45C and the max at 59C. I am only one degree from the max, seems bad.
What do you think about that?
---
Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T7500 hardware monitor
Temperature sensor 0 59°C (138°F) [0x29] (Core #0)
Temperature sensor 1 60°C (139°F) [0x28] (Core #1)
HWMonitor Specifies:
Min: 44C
Max: 61C for Core 1 & Max: 60C for Core 2
(CPU seems high at startup, but I have a lot of programs loading at startup, and they are absolutely necessary programs.)
---
GeForce 8600M GT hardware monitor
Temperature sensor 0 47°C (116°F) [0x2F] (GPU Core)
HWMonitor Specifies:
Min: 43C Max: 49C
---
SAMSUNG HM250JI hardware monitor
Temperature sensor 0 31°C (87°F) [0x1F] (HDD)
HWMonitor Specifies:
Min: 31C Max: 34
There doesn't seem to be a lot of leeway on the HDD temps. I don't imagine that it fluctuates much, but still... What do you make of this?
---------
BUT THATS NOT ALL!
After the computer has been on for awhile, say 30 minutes idle the temps come down by several degrees.
*ACPI drops from 58C to 47C
*Core 0 from 59C to 47C
Core 1 from 60C to 47C
*nVIDIA from 47 to 44C
HDD increases from 31C to 34C
34C is the max HWMonitor shows that HDD should be. Should I be concerned, or is this normal?
Feedback is appreciated. If I have made this a little hard to understand, sorry.
