Sure mate, its a cpu stress app, you can download it from here.

On running it, you cpu will be utilized to its max, and you will get max temps

#[member='guneshwor'], have you checked the temps with real temp? If not you can try that to be sure that temps are indeed 99c.

I will try the above mentioned asap. Cant do right now as my internet blacked out. Now I am using from my phone.
 
OMG what an ignorance by Dell!

I can't believe even intel guy told you that 99c is fine for a processor! You are just 1c away from bp of h[sub]2[/sub]o mate!

Even though SB can take that much temperature, it was not designed to operate at that temp, was it? The other components can also be damaged by this much temp! Just try telling dell guys this. Dosen't hurt to try.

BTW, I have to admire your patience!
 
Calm down ladies. And use a pinch of common sense.

#[member='guneshwor'] : you can stress test without fear. Your processor isn't going to fry, neither is the plastic going to melt.

Your chip has a safety mechanism to automatically drop clock speeds once it crosses Tjmax to keep temperatures under check. This has been in place since quite a few generations of Intel chips. This safety mechanism might be your ticket to proving that the cooling isn't functioning properly.

1) Launch Task Manager, and switch to the Performance tab that shows the CPU Usage graphs.

2) Launch Core Temp.

3) Launch Prime95 and stress test.

4) Observe Core Temp window. Once temperatures hit Tjmax, you will notice a drop in the Frequency as the safety mechanism kicks in.

A screenshot when this happens is enough proof to show that it isn't operating as expected.

Ps: Your response from Intel is technically correct considering they have designed the processor to operate under a wide range of operating temperatures. Cooling modules are designed by third parties, and operating temperatures can vary tremendously. But as long as it stays within Intel's max limit they cannot say its a problem.
 
As long as Processor is working fine, you can't RMA it. Either you mail to someone higher authority or live with it , but its certain it wont' last longer.
 
^agreed.

What worries me is that just 4 month warranty is remaining and if it craps out after that, they will charge exorbitantly high price for repairing it! That's unfair!

^ how about blowing it before that, and claim warranty

LOL! I was gonna post the same but I thought it will definitely result in warning from mods! BTW, it looks like the only option if you wanna claim your warranty and get it replaced for free. Just blow it up and tell them, "see didn't I tell you temps were high".

^ I may get an infraction (nothing yet

)

In both the ways OPs lappy will blow, and its better to blow it within warranty period

1. has your heatsink and **FAN** been replaced?

for me it was the fan.

Changing the Thermal paste alone doesnt help. I tried replacing the dell stock TIM with AS5 and there was only a marginal improvement. Dell's stock TIM comes in square blocks in semi solid form.

Try putting a high CFM fan near the vents where the heat comes from to pull the air out

see if it brings temps down

You really expect them to take heed to an excercise where the CPU was stressed using synthetic tests and then throttled..? I doubt it. Plus it is risky. Throttling is there, but when all ready a chip is running so hot in games why ask someone to run Prime95. It looks quite dumb and adds insult to injury to prove a point. He has a decent working laptop still. Better he escalate it, vs. trying out tricks just to SHOW his point.

I havent run prime95 yet. What do you suggest?

Dell replaced my heatsink, tim and fan too.

Is the problem known yet?

No answers yet. No calls from dell.
 
It came in a sticker style . Also the technician applied a paste which he brought, after applying the sticker thing. I believe air bubbles were trapped when he did.

I think it was a thermal-pad OR a pillow-pack Intel thermal paste pouch and applicator. http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/cs-030329.htm --> Was it something like the stuff described here on Intel's Ark?

Air bubbles, like when he squeezed out the paste, there were bubbles in the paste OR were their gaps between globs of paste and the paste was unevenly placed hence bubbles formed?

No, more like this : http://www.blueskyav...-Thermal/Detail

Paste was unevenly applied, so I have a hint that bubbles must be trapped inside.

Okay it looks like the Intel pillow pack grease applicator.

Hmmm... yes I suggest you ask the Dell technician to come again and re-apply the TIM, this time before he does anything take a picture [before he even cleans your processor], get such evidence ready and start 'leaking' it too the world on fb.

Hope this helps, Cheers!!
