Guest ender707 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 My card is an 8600m GT DDR3, without even overclocking, this thing idles at 76C and while playing games it runs at 95C. ntune monitor and rivatuners monitors agree on this temp. It seems really hot compared to what people with Dells and other brands with 8600m GTs run at. Overclocking does not seem to raise the temp more than 1-2 degrees, which also seems wierd. Does anyone know if this is normal for the ASUS G1, or why it is so hot? ASUS G1-X3 Intel Core2Duo 2.2ghz 2gb ram 8600m GT DDR3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ender707 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Well this is crap. I can play everything fine (Crysis, Timeshift, Counterstrike, UT3) at high/medium settings with no problems from the temp, but I wonder why mine would be so hot compared to others. The case does not seem to have good airflow and I think thats why, but im pretty sure your case is the same as mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloneman Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) Note that some laptops (like dell) use DDR2, which probably means the memory can't keep up with the GPU, so it doesn't work as hard... Those temps are very high (assuming the sensor is accurate). I would look into having it serviced by Asus - they'll probably re-apply the thermal material. Or maybe try fooling around with speedfan if it works for you... Edited February 13, 2008 by cloneman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
