Kinesha Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Hello there, First my Laptop: FSC Amilo XA 2528 CPU: Turion64 X2 TL64 RAM: 2 x 2048GB Samsung DDR2 GPU: Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS 256MB GDDR2 (179.13 driver with inf.mod from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com) HDD: 2 x 320GB SATAII OS: Win Vista Home Premium My question is: I had the original FSC Driver on system from CD before and I switched info 179.13 driver with inf.mod from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com. Before changing the driver World of Warcraft was partly playable in lowest detail but there was a stable temperature at 60-65° After changing the driver WoW is playable at full high details but the temperature of GPU is reaching a critical level at 85-90° The motherboard temperature changes also in range of 10-15° higher. So wtf is the reason for this grilling temperature? Does this driver overclock any hardware? In my opinion there is no other reason... Please help me! PS: I have monitored my CPU temperature too, it also changes its temperature in range of 10-15° higher.

zipper Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 No, probably the original driver was misbehaving, perhaps it didn't use performance 3D mode at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmat07 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 The 8600m GT should play WoW at max without any problem. My other comp with a 5 year old mi class card could. Like zipper said, there must have been a problem with the old driver. Try to raise you laptop or buy a laptop cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old driver was buggy in performance but stable in temperature. The new driver is performancing but overheating the system. Maybe I understand you wrong. How warm should the 8600M GS be or how warm could the 8600M GS be till T-I-L-T?? Edited October 15, 2008 by Kinesha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew55 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 No, probably the original driver was misbehaving, perhaps it didn't use performance 3D mode at all. I agree with this conclusion. 85-90C is normal gpu operating temp. 60-65 is idle indicating that 3d mode may never have been used. I say that this is no cause for alarm.

Guest H3llr3is3r Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Maybe the driver isnt for your laptop... i changed my "original" laptop Xp driver, i get more performance but eat more so heating more. (Xa2528 have MCP51 wich in desktop means nforce 430...) I changed my vga driver and it makes the same, temps raised 3 grades of Celsius, i hope my psu wont die. But yes more performance more heat... If u are unsure about this go on service for clean your laptop. maybe help. Lorand Delczeg Stockholm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
