CPU Temp Benchmarking - Request for Help

---

Hi all,

I'd like to ask for some community assistance, to gather A700 temperature data. To those willing to help, please do the following:


1. Install SetCPU from XDA & System Tuner from Google Play:

SetCPU:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419

System Tuner:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw

2. Open up System Tuner, go to CPU, and write down what the CPU Temp is. Try doing this while nothing else is running. This will be your "idle baseline."

3. Switch over to SetCPU. Ignore all of the prompts if you are not-rooted. Go to Info->Stress Test. Run the Stress Test. It will continue to run until you stop it.

4. Wait about 2 minutes, then switch back to System Tuner. The act of switching apps will stop the Stress Test. Record the CPU temperature again.

Repeat if you wish.

Please post back with the following information:

Rooted = Yes or no
Baseline Temperature = ?
Post-Test Temperature = ?

Thanks all!!

I have not stressed the cpu with setcpu, but my baseline temp is 65 degrees celsius.

If I scroll a heavy page down and up continuously in stock browser or boat browser for half a minute, the temp goes up to 89 degrees !!!

That's really hot for a tablet...

You sure thats degree celsius? Your numbers are just way too high.. Must be in fahrenheit..

Unless either System Tuner and/or the CPU sensor itself is off, then that is accurate. My results are similar.

Will run these tonight and will report back ASAP... I am very interested in seeing my numbers. Thanks for taking the initiative to start this thread...

Just ran it.

Non rooted

This is in Fahrenheit.

Base line was 119 degrees.

After 5 minutes running stress test it hit 168.3 degrees

Baseline: 47.0c
After 2 minute stress test: 79.0c

Let me know if I win something.... :)

I have not checked the baseline but when playing a 3D game for a short while when powering up, the device rebooted itself. A few mins after that I found this thread and checked the Celsius, which was 79 °C slowly going down.

I have root.

I think it's important to mention that it was charging.
The tablet was lying flat on my bed.

These temperatures are just unacceptable.. Acer should find a hardware way to fix it and take all the devices back.

Hi

Here are figures for mine :
Not rooted yet, no case
Base : 49 Celcius
Post Stress : 67 Celcius

Room température : about 28 Celcius
During the test I held the tablet by edges for it not to lie on the bed and be hotter.

This seems quite good when I read your stats.

Rooted = No
Baseline Temperature = 52 C (had just come off the charger--but it had been fully charged hours ago so the little light was just white as opposed to red which means charge in progress)
Post-Test Temperature = 85 C

It was in this case sitting like this on a desk.

Then I immediately opened Deer Hunt and played for about ~5-7 minutes. Checked the temp and it was 92 C! Then closed DH and did another stress test. 1 minute into the test, the system crashed & rebooted like it has before. Took a few minutes for things to open again. Opened the CPU temp app immediately and it showed it to be 88 but falling at a pretty high rate...

It's going back to Amazon... Thank you for helping me make up my mind much faster!
