335 240GB as ODD replacement caused idle core temperature to rise from 30C to 50C

[idata]

I have replaced the odd with a 240GB 335 series ssd on a Sony Vaio VPCZ13. If the ssd is removed, the core temperature average is shown as 30C by the SpeedFan 4.49 s/w while the cpu is idle. When the ssd is plugged in this value rises to 50C. It may also be observed from the fan output as soon as the machine starts -before the windows loaded-. The computer uses i7 m 640 cpu, HM57 chipset. The ssd bay connected next to the internal 4*64 GB Samsung ssd managed by raid-0 configuration. (The ssd is not included to raid-0) Windows sees the only storage controller as "Intel(R) ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E/5 Series SATA RAID Controller". I have updated the firmware via Intel SSD toolbox (which says it is current)

I have the symptoms of; shortened battery life time exactly by half, never everlasting fan (independent from the power plan) and uncomfortable feeling of shortening life time of the compenents.

Is this temperature rise normal? Any prevention such as a firmware upgrade to come?

Thank you for your post.

Note that the SSD does not produce any additional heat that would cause the core temperature to increase.

There are several possible causes to a temperature increase. One of the board sensors oriented incorrectly or disconnected. Outdated BIOS, incorrect or conflicting power setting in BIOS and Windows* see a description of the possible settings:

Advanced BIOS setup looks like the one and only solution. Unfortunately, first I need the hack the H2O Insyde BIOS. Thank you for your answer.

OK, here's a link to get you started:

Uhm, you're not using encryption on your 4 x 64 RAID and not on the 335 are you? Just wondering.

No, none of them is encypted. I am going to try the link, thanks
