Hello all, I know I have not been around in a crazy long time. Remodeling, medical stuff, ...well life happened.
This isn't to big of a problem & I am sure something simple can fix it.
I have a Compaq F500 Windows 7 OS, Google Chrome Browser. Other than that it it is all factory. Typical middle-low road laptop. AMD Sempron 3500+ (keene), 1Gb ram(4Gb with ReadyBoost)
My main problem is when on Facebook & play these games(texas hold 'em). The CPU temps skyrocket. I can play them on MySpace just fine, slightly elevated but no where near what I get on FB. Also with ready boost the CPU temps do not change so I rulled out an upgrade of RAM.
I got some screen shots of the temps on the page, including one while on this page.
I read that MAX temps for this CPU is around 90-95.....well see for yourself.
I honestly do not know what to think. I figure since it is only while on FB, either I live with it, or just not use it. I can have 4 or 5 things going with this. Connected to a projector watching a BluRay, on the net DL'ing/UL'ing & burning a DVD & the temps NEVER go above 80.
Thanks for any insight into this. Also as you can see in the last pic I have a few extra things going & it is lower than just having FB open..mind in while in IE8 FB would just freeze all together.
Thanks for any insights, tweaks, or all out hardware changes I need to make.
Tom
