I have a ASUS G60JX Laptop and it gets pretty hot. I'm just not sure if its too hot, or if the temperatures are completely fine for this model. (This is when gaming, idle temps are significantly lower)
The GPU reaches 85C but never goes any higher. Once it hits 85C the fan kicks in hard and it drops down to 70C-75C within seconds, then crawls back up to 85C just to repeat the process.
I was just wondering if temperatures like that are too high. And if so, what can i do about it.
Here are the specs
Processor: Intel Core i5 i5-430M / 2.26 GHz
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 360M
Video Memory: 1GB GDDR5 SDRAM
RAM: 4GB
HDD: 500GB
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
I've researched Speedfan and Rivatuner, neither of those work for my system for some reason. So for all i know i have no control over the fan speed.
I keep the computer propped up so it can get air circulation, and it is also nice and clean on the inside.
Oh and also, when my computer is plugged in it hits those 85C temps, but when it is unplugged it drops down to about 65C max...I'm guessing it just naturally underclocks while in AC mode to conserve battery life?...I've tried seeing if i can underclock my CPU thru the NVIDIA settings, but there is no settings under the NVIDIA driver to do so....
Its frustrating having no settings to change anything....I can't even find the max safe temp for my GPU on NVIDIA's website... and ASUS has pretty much disowned this laptop on their website...
But my question still stands... is 85C too hot for a GPU? I'm concerned that if i were to game alot that my laptops life span would drop like a rock..I've shyed away from playing games that i own like SC2 because of it :/
