latitude E6430 temperature problem

Hello,

Hope everyone is fine and well.

I have same kind of problem but more severe (as far as my understanding) with my Latitude E6430 i5-3360M upgraded to Windows 8 Enterprice 64 bit OS .

It is getting heat up too much from left side and exhausting the battery earliest.

Your expeditious help is requested to resolve the above problem.

Hi,

I have some questions to Dell Support Team: (connected with latitude e6430 / e6420 laps.)

- in work ive two e6420 laps, i7 processor with integrated intel hd3000 2640m i think, they're rly nice,

they're cool even with two youtube hd video they still cool, vent dont have to even run - all is just great.

4 days ago fascinated by this model and Your brand, i used to use toshi before, i bought used e6430

spec: i5-3320m, with nvida 5200 card, 1600x900, 8gb onboard (upgraded from 4) . Laptop is still

on dell warantly up to sept. 2015 i think, and buying is where problems began.

In two words - it's hot. Vent didn't start if processor cores were under 60 celc. - after upgrade bios to

the newest - they're starting at about 55 deg.  But why laptop is getting hot when system is idle ?

No antivirus is running, no actualizations in progress - run on windwos 7 64bit, the same on xubuntu 13.

I tried to disable optimus in bios, ok mainboard get about 5 degrees cooler, but still 50 deg. for

idle laptop is too much. Old tosh with 1024 ddr2, and intel celeron 2.8ghz have 27-29 degrees on idle.

So i'd like to ask if there's a problem with those laptops, that they have to be warm (with nvidia onboard) or it is some issues with drivers, because the only argument for me to buy this laptop was it coolness, (and magnesium case).

If those laptops rly need to have 50 deg. on idle i'd probably turn them back, or make some heat modification on cnc from aluminium to propagate heat over all bottom cover.

I searched the bios history and noticed that laptop was overheated one  about year ago by last owner.

Please let me know about heat issues for this model asap.

Thanks

Hi,

Because I didn't  get any response for problem I found solution - my e6430 runs like a charm.

Temp on idle 28-30 C, Max temp after 5min of 100%processor use - 77 C.
Temperatures on flat surface, without cooling pad. 

Problem is  - drivers - dell unfortunately dont have good support for specific model - of course there's
a full pack of all needed drivers, but u cannot download pack for your specific configuration by for example service tag.

After installing drivers for intel 4000 and nvidia laptop started to work as it should work on the beginning - teperature has lowered to 35-38 C. Another step was to replace termo paste - from silicon one (bleh) to good one - temperature has lowered to 28-32.

In this moment i've problem to lower temperature from 50c to 28, because fan dont work for temps under 50 C, so i soldered copper radiator on heat pipe on processor block - now time to cool machine from 50 to 30 c  is about 15 sec.

A little bit about magnesium - its metal, but propagation of heat is lower than in silver, copper or aluminium, so i decided to insert on the left (from the top) right (from the botton) side place a pice of copper 0,5mm and heat pads to connect them to heatpipes after bottom cover is closed.

Now it need only about 10 sec to get 30 C from 77 C,  and standard idle temperature of cpu is about 26 C in 24 C room.

Hi Sujatha,

I have Dell Latitude E6430, and today my laptop show blurry screen, with fuzzy and LCD lines. I am so worried. I have checked it from store and they say VGA card and LCD is working properly. I don't know whats the issue.

Its showing Blue mint colour on screen . And when i turn it on it shows "Fan Malfuction" message.

Can you please guide me what can i do?

Many Thanks

I have a Dell e6430 and it does not have a NVIDIA card installed. It only allows me to install the Intel Video driver. Are you sue all e6430s have a NVIDIA card?

Hi, 

As far as I know  e6430s don't have nvidia graphics.  'S models is a cheaper version of e6430, they have slower cpu's (based on second generation of intel processors [the best graphics u can get is hd3000 ]) smaller amount of memory (max. 8gb).

So e6430s are  equal to e6420 (older generation of e64xx ) - only difference is that e6430s have usb3.0.

If i'd have to choose - i'd prefer to buy used e6420 with usb3.0 adapter on express card than e6430s ;].

( btw. I recently upgraded my e6430 to i7 4cores = 8 threads  16 gb ram, 16 ssd on pcie (encrypted system starter for linux and windows).

I special order mine with a nvidia card, sent it back to Dell for a replacement and the new one has limited heat issues.  Just google "e6430 specs" for more info about video card options.

ntel® HD Graphics 3000 for Intel Core i3 Processors

I have an e6430 not e6430s. I added lower case "s" as in plural not model. The Nvidia driver does not install on my laptop. I thought all e6430 laptops come with Nvidia card.

Dude could you helpme with my problem??? because looks like DELL does not helps.

My system is Dell Latitude E6430, Win7 x64, BIOS A17, nVidia Video Card.

Any information is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Try downloading the graphic card drivers directly from nVidia website. Let it detect the right driver

No, not all of these have the hybrid Intel-nVidia setup.  It was an at-purchase option -- most will be Intel-integrated video only.

If you see two entries under Display Manager (one Intel, one nVIdia), you do have the hybrid setup.  If you see only an Intel entry, then that's all the system has.

You can look up the complete specifications on the system at support.dell.com -- under Original Configuration, look for UMA in the mainboard designation.  If you see that, it's Intel-only.
