TEMPERATURE OF A-SERIES

[abuyahya]

My A317M, which is less than a month old, temperature as recorded by Mobilemeter usually runs between 57 and 60 degrees Celsius. this is mainly just web browsing with the processor speed at 800MHz.
It goes upto about 68-70 C on gaming with processor in 1.73MHz

it feels warm over left side of keyboard. and very hot on the base of the laptop. the fan loudens every 5mins for few seconds.

is this normal?? or should i be concerned??
thanks

They should had built the laptop like they used to be, my old x18 had another fan on the docking station that help to cool the laptop apart from the one inside the laptop itself.. i notice the new A317S docking doesnt help anything on cooling the laptop.

 Those new 120GB drives must get up to 55 too.

120GB?:smileyshocked:

Yeah, TheRegister reported about it last week

That's great.:smileygrin: Because you wouldn't pay approx 200¿ for a 100GB more. If the new drive come. The prices would go down.

Yep :smileygrin:

is it possible to manually control the fan? I'd prefer when the fan starts to run @ 60° and turns off @ 50° (not already @ 57°). This would be great...

No, but I have seen this on other laptops and motherboards....

...with DELL-Notebooks it is possible to control the fan(s) manually. Unfortunately such a tool is not available for VAIO-Books

My friend can do it on her IBM
