insideout Posted May 11, 2006 CID Share Posted May 11, 2006 I received a S.M.A.R.T. alert for my C drive a lot of times. I called up Sony and they said they'll replace it with a new one. I also took this test on my comp that said that the temperature was Temperatures: Motherboard 55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted May 11, 2006 CID Share Posted May 11, 2006 insideout everything is high, is there a rear exaust fan on this computer, not the power supply fan a actually fan on the back of the case to pull air out of the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted May 11, 2006 CID Share Posted May 11, 2006 60C is very hot for a processor. Get some fans in there right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted May 11, 2006 CID Share Posted May 11, 2006 60C is very hot for a processor. Get some fans in there right away. 60c is very hot for a processor, infact everything is very hot in there. I'm thinkin he just needs a exhaust fan and then he should be good to go. but if he does already have one, then something else is going very wrong in that pc.

insideout Posted May 11, 2006 Author CID Share Posted May 11, 2006 okay i don't get it; why is it so high? When I bought this PC, the guy said it had liquid cooling or something; i thought it was supposed to be very easy to cool it down. http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/model-documents.pl?mdl=VGCRC110G It says in the manual it has liquid cooling and so it doesn't use a fan. Btw the model is VGCRC110G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw the model is VGCRC110G well obviously the liquid cooling is not working, eather something is broken, or its just very ineffective, i would call Sony and tell them those tempters because it should not be like that at all.

Swimmer Posted May 11, 2006 CID Share Posted May 11, 2006 it isnt true liquid cooling.. it is passive cooling with a heat pipe that runs a passive heat sink to the rear of the case I guess.. From what I have seen the max for the Intel D830 is 69.8* C.. I would suggest getting some cooling either by removing the side of the computer for a bit or installing a few fans.. that should improve the temps inside.. Also you might want to clean out the case and make sure that there isnt any dust bunnies making a home in the bottom of the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
