Cooling issue on Portege R700
Posted: 01-Dec-2011 13:34

Hi

I came to know that the cooling problem on the R700 latop is due to a bad design.

To be more specific, aluminium was used to build the heat sink instead of copper as it is showed in the Toshiba commercial video (see below please). I sent my latop for repare and it is just arrived in Sommerdae (Germany).

Nevertheless I want to ask a a replacement for an other laptop out of this range if the problem heat could not be fixed definitely.

Best Regards,
Tahar B.

Hello,

A friend of mine bought an R830 and we talked about the cooling modules performance on his R830 and we compared the performance and heat dissipation with my R series notebook.

My notebook is runs more quiet… we have compared the settings and I think we could find a workaround for this…

I have updated the BIOS is the past… and I recommended checking the Toshiba pages for newer BIOS. Indeed the new BIOS was published and could flash the BIOS as well…

Furthermore I’ve improved the power management settings in Win 7
Control Panel - Power Options - Change plan settings - Change advanced power settings - TOSHIBA Power Saver Settings - Cooling Method ... Here I set both options to battery optimized.

I also disabled the Intel Turbo boost technology in BIOS because I didn’t notice any performance boosts if this option was enabled… so I tested this with disabled option…
Last but not least the Toshiba HW setup seems to contains options for CPU… I set the option “Dynamic CPU frequency mode” to first option “Dynamically Switchable”…

seems that notebook runs quiet and I’m pleased with that…

Hello Tahar

Thanks for your comment and link. If you are not happy with your notebook talk with Toshiba people and i hope you can clarify this.

To be honest Toshiba’s best notebooks are from Portege series and they are designed for business usage and in the past Toshiba has used best technology, knowhow and best materials for Portege notebooks.

I have old Portege 2010 and it was smallest, lightest notebook every build. Until now it works perfectly and design is simply .... perfect.
