Speedfan isn’t very accurate.
For cpu’s: Coretemp/realtemp
For gpu’s: GPU-Z
I went on a busy pub server to monitor temperatures.
CPU Idle: 48°C
CPU TF2: 86°C
GPU Idle: 57°C
GPU TF2: 72°C
Good or bad? D:
cpu seems way too high :s.
Highest mine goes is mid 40’s but yours is a laptop so … that may be normal.. dunno ! :D
Got this at times too. :f Running a 4870 and an E8400 with two sticks of ram and nothing else, so I doubt it’s driver-related, on my side atleast.
it is called soundlooping (even tho most of the time when i get it my sound doesnt actually have anything to do with it)
there are 5 million causes
there are 0 solutions
it is gay
CPU temp is quite high.
GPU is quite high as well, but GPU’s are generally designed to take higher temps.
could be your sound, i know there is a cmd (like std_restart) which makes your ingame sound reboot, with that comes some lag, dunno how to check if this is the problem but gl m8, i had it to with my previous pc and i bought a new one :D
I have a laptop to, and a while back ago i had the same problem, but i got ~10 fps all the time :p found out my cpu temp was ~100 degrees celcius with coretemp.
So i turned off my laptop, took out every cable (usb cables, ac adaptors ect.) and took a peak inside of my laptop and on my cpu fan. What i found there was a big pile of dust. I cleaned it really carefully with a Q-tip (just a little bit moist to get the dust away).
Turned it back on and go my temp back to ~60 degrees when playing (~45 degrees idle)
Now i get 100 fps with a fps config :)
I also bought myself a NC2000 from zalman, gets my idle temp and load temp down by 10 degrees.

I have the same problem, I dont think it has something to do with temps nor dust
CPU Idle: 48°C
CPU TF2: 86°C
That is rather hot, any hotter and it would be bad, but I still don’t think it is hot enough to cause majour probs (although you might want to reseat, add some better TIM or a new HSF), and it is clearly not an overheating problem when it only occurs in TF2…
Those temps aren’t very high considering it’s a laptop, not alarming anyway.
Yeah I know the temperatures aren’t ideal but they don’t seem to be the problem.
The fact that L4D works without problem gives me hope that when Valve implemented the L4D engine to to TF2 or whatever it was they were talking about I might get a lucky break.
The Zalaman cooler looks like a worthwhile buy but I’m budgeting for a few trips this summer (including the community lan!) so I’ll probably try and exhaust all other avenues first.
Time to take this show to the Steam Forums!
I had the same problem, it started occuring with maybe a millisecond freeze then over about 4 months grew to a 1.5 second freeze (which suggested fragmentation but defrags did fa)
Then I got a proper sound card instead of using realtek onboard and it hasn’t done it since.
But since you have a laptop :(
Yeah I’ve considered buying a USB Creative card but they don’t actually take any of the processing load off the CPU just like the onboard Realtek.
And from what I’ve read it wouldn’t work with my laptop speakers.
