I don't see anything wrong with it. it works fine.

So one of the lads on our irc chat for eve was asking for advice on upgrading his laptop to an ssd. then he was like o my fan is not working very well and the cpu temp is normally at around 100c or so, then he posted this pic up of the laptops cooling and i am amazed its still running.

He said he has the cpu set to not go over 60% load (how is that possible?) and that he has ordered a replacement heat-sink and fan unit for it.

Has any one ever seen a fan disintegrate like this?

I told him not to bother with the ssd and to save his £££ for future purchase's of a new pc or something as i cannot see an ssd helping at this stage..

This is the laptop spec.

100oc is crazy hot.

Whats class as safe/non damaging temps for laptops? I always though anything about 80oc and it would start to cause damage?

You can use the power management settings to limit how far the CPU will ramp up - also with laptops not unusual for software to come with it for extended power management options.

100C is the limit. CPU will start throttling to protect itself.

Intel range of laptop cpu's had a higher thermal fresh hold of 105c but I am not sure on AMD, looking at the website I can't see any info.
