Agreed. Which is why video on this laptop is scary ...
For reference, AMD's early CPUs are rated at around 95C. The last of
the first generation Pentium-M processors is rated at 100C. Yes, 100C
for a notebook processor.
There's a reason why manufacturers stopped calling them "laptops".
It's first degree burns. Seriously.
Well, I think I can put this novel of my system upgrade to rest. My last
bit of "configuring" was to add a PCI slot fan next to my raid
controller card. The fans on this PCI fan card blow air right on top of
the heat sink. The temp on the LSI chip has dropped from 76 (which has
been claimed to be OK on this posting) down to 51 deg Celsius. So if 76
was ok, 51 is like ice cold. I was thinking about how I re-configured my
desktop, by adding this 8 channel raid controller card. All my IO, well,
maybe 99.9999% (excluding io to USB devices like thumb drives or when I
burn a DVD) goes through that LSI chip. I've basically put all my IO
eggs in one small 40mmx40mm processor chip. So maybe going the extra
mile (or several with my trip to microcenter to buy the PCI fan card)
may have been worth it, at least calm down my own paranoid nerves.
Cheers.
