My Sony Vaio VPCEB34En laptop's CPU and GPU share the same heat sink and fan. I removed for cleaning purpose. After I cleaned my fan, I mounted them back. At first, the laptop didn't power up and the fans are not spinning. Then I checked to see whether my CPU is seated well and it wasn't. I fixed that well and now using the laptop. But the GPU and System temps from Speedfan were showing high temps. Here are the conditions:
Before dis-assembling CPU-GPU-Fan assembly (SpeedFan temps with one-tab browsing):
CPU 46-48 C
GPU 56-58 C
System 56-58 C
CPU Fan 4260 RPM (this was the highest recorded RPM even when playing games)
After dis-assembling and reassembling CPU-GPU-Fan assembly (SpeedFan temps with one-tab browsing):
CPU 46-48 C
GPU 65-68 C (at most went to 73 C)
System 65-68 C (at most went to 73 C)
CPU Fan 3700 - 4200 RPM (reached max of 5130 RPM -This might reduce bearing life
)
So where did I made the mistake that made GPU alone go hotter but not the CPU?
