    I have been reading alot of posts where people have been repasting their GPU's and getting temps 50-60c at full load. I havent repasted yet so I dont know for sure if this actually happens.

    i think it does happen because on fahrenheit at full load im running at 115-120 on fahrenheit thats um 46-50 about that what i did though was repasted both gpus and cpu and replaced all thermal pads, i also notice the fans not running as hard as they use to

    my normal temps with stock paste and stock cpu (740qm) were 75'c..... gpu temps 80-92'C full load

    icd7 + 920xm 26/26/24/24@ tdp and tdc 75/65 ----> 65-70'C max in games
    after TS bench 24@4cores 1024m 50% completed i was reaching max 75'c

    MX-4 + 5870M (stock thermal pads) Stock clocks and i get <80'C gaming
