hello
i got a brand new sealed hp elitebook 8540w (thrift shop for about 10$)
this thing is packed with i7 Q740 with 24 gb ram and 500 gb hdd with nvidia quadro fx 1800m
fresh installed windows 7 x64 with all drivers.
tested gta 3 and fan got kinda loud so i took it apart and replaced the thermal compound with grizzly kryonaut. gpu old thermal was stoned !!!
after replacing thermal temps at startup idle is 30-40 C
started running gta 3 again and after 15 min of gameplay fan kicked in and temps are
63 C CPU and 76 C GPU (max temps during gameplay)
after exiting the game and let the laptop sit in idle for 10 min temps are 47 C CPU and 46 C GPU
does this thing have normal temps or to high ? cause i never owned such a mobile workstation ! and nothing i could find good online to know what temps are normal or not..
