Guest manu Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Exactly the same thing happens to me.I have a vaio fz31m,core 2 duo t7250,2 gig ram,vista and nvidia 8400m gt,all the latest drivers.While playing,temperature goes somewhere between 86 and 93 degrees,at idle 63-66.In 'power settings' or battery settings to other makes,i choose 'balanced' or 'optimized' power.If i choose 'high performance' game crashes and temperature is 96-98 degrees.I think the upper limit is 105 degrees for my nvidia card.The only thing i can do to reduce the temperature with about 10 degrees is to cut down on game graphic settings like textures and shader and i also use a laptop cooler but this one only cuts about 3-4 degrees.I've tried to replace the fan but no success.A bigger fan would not fit and one with bigger rpm needs different voltage so i have to do with what i can.When i upgraded the driver, i went from 167.60 to 187.66.The difference was so obvious that the Windows Experience Index score improved.
