i ran it on the lappy, and SURPRISE : idle temp around 36 deg!! Only about an hour ago, i read about OpenHardwareMonitor, and as a last attempt, thought id give it a try, as i hadnt used it earlier. frustrated i unistalled them all and stopped using my laptop. It has been around a week since this event, iv contacted hp, and an engineer had visited, opened up the laptop and changed the thermal paste ( a note on this later ), but still no use. Whereas, in my desktop, they all show an idle temp of around 33 deg (recently changed the thermal paste) and under load ( Photoshop rendering ) it went upto a max of around 44 deg. i ran a kasperky scan, and it went upto 120 degrees !! i thought it must be a mistake, so i installed coreTemp, and a bunch of other monitors.

i was surprised to see an idle temperature over 86 degrees Centigrade. I wanted to note the CPU temerature of my laptop, and i have always been a speccy user, so installed the latest speccy in the lappy, and ran it. If you care about how i come to say this, read below : Long Story short : i think speccy doesnt give accurate results on win8 + HP hardware, or, is bugged somehow, and causes CPU temp to shoot to astronomical levels. 1st of all, let me mention my hardware :Īmd a4 4300M, radeon graphics : 512 MB 7420G + 1GB 7670M, 4 gb 1600 Mhz ram.Īmd athlon x2 250, inbuilt graphics : 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 7025 / NVIDIA nForce 630a, ram : 2gb DDR2 800Mhz ,
