XPS 15 R2 (L502) Temps Only thread please.....

I was just getting ready to order a L502 when I read about the high temps in the general L502 thread, this has caused me to pause from ordering.



There's a lot of info in that thread though and I think it would be useful to have a Temps only thread for the machine.



If people could post their temps in here that would be useful, but please ALSO POST THE FOLLOWING INFO else your posting won't be of much use as no-one will be able to compare it properly.....



The 4 Core Temps

The GPU Temp

The System Temp



The above for both idle and under load (please state what you've used to put the processors under load, be it a game or a specific burn in/load tool), what software and version number you used to measure the temps and finally whether you've still got the original thermal paste on the CPU's/GPU or whether you've repasted.



I'm sure a lot of people would be interested as people don't want to end up buying what could just become a PITA.



For the record I've got a M1530 and once I got it repasted and calm it never goes over 82c under load and mid 40's idle.

Can I suggest test like notebookcheck:



Prime95 + Furmark run together and HWinfo32 (works on 64bit too) to shows temps



These test run until you stop,

I suggest to take a screen-shot while test is still running after 15min to start and post in this thread.



FurMark 1.9



Prime95



HWinfo

I'd also like to see the temps everyone is getting. I'd suggest using HWMonitor for temperature readings



CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting

But HWmonitor show CPU throttling?

HWinfo32 can show CPU throttling surely.

I loaded up HWinfo32 and did not see any throttling. I am assuming the GREEN next to the cpu speed would go red or something.





Can't attach the image its to big. I uploaded it to my site FURMARK and PRIME95





CPU0: 93

CPU1: 94

CPU2: 94

CPU3: 93

GPU: 90

Yes, Green "OK" next CPU core means not Throttling.

In this image you see an example of happen when throttling

(Not is an XPS)

Oh sorry, I didn't know it did throttling. That's pretty cool.



Mid 90's seems pretty high for a CPU. 90 for the GPU doesn't seem that bad though.



What are your specs w0ss?

Reply 7 : XPS 15 R2 (L502) Temps Only thread please.....

2720QM

540M

6GB ram



The CPU was in the mid 80's when I ran only prime95. I did not notice the laptop warm at all on the top(keyboard/palmrest etc).

Reply 8 : XPS 15 R2 (L502) Temps Only thread please.....

I guess that's not THAT bad then. Even just running prime 95 alone is an extreme condition and it probably wont happen during normal use.



About what temps do you get while playing games?



It's be awesome to see what temps people are getting with new thermal paste.

Looks pretty similar to L501x temps that users reported when stress testing with Furmark.

They most likely didn't alter the pitiful heatsink and fan assembly, as well as most likely still employing the same thermal paste application.
