    Hi
    I have Asus G60jx with Core i5 m430 & Nvidia 360m GTS, The problem is i installed Clean Windows 7 with latest Nvidia 314 Driver And Powermizer is Actually working but when i start browsing the internet on chrome or Firefox GPU volts goes to 1.00V and works at full Load causing High Temp of 81C !
    I think mostly the problem is with Flash Player plugin because when i load pages with Flash Ads GPU Temps goes to more than 80 C.

    I think that's basically how browsers work lately, wherein they used to utilize the GPU for 2D rendering but now they use it for 3D rendering. If downgrading your Nvdia drivers is not an option, well you could look for an overclocking application for your GPU that would enable you to down-clock its clocks manually.

    You can also use nvidia inspector to force certain power states using command console codes but it should not be required. Which power setting on you on in windows and what happens when you run IE?

    You can also disable the GPU Acceleration for the browsers. Totally unneeded.

    Well yes, pretty much any desktop application unless reliant on CUDA is fine to run on intel.
