Asus G73jh GPU temp?

1395 on tigerdirect with BCB

They are still in stock at the moment.

 

I'm running the test now, and don't worry I'm not typing this on the same computer.

I've never run FurMark before. The video is smooth, then it pauses once a second. Is this normal?

Also, will I need to stop it at 10 minutes or does the stability test end on it's own?

 

The stability test runs until stopped. Yeah, apparently the stutter is normal on the newer version.

 

Yeah, something about the way it polls for temperatures. Run an older version and you won't have the stutter (or the temperature updates). You can just use MSIafterburner, ATI clock tool, or HWinfo32 (or one of the million OTHER options) to monitor the temp.

 

Furmark shows the temp as well if you just want to run it by itself. That's that pretty graph at the bottom of the screenshot. They matched what hwinfo32 was reporting.

 

I really give Kudos to the Thermaltake cooler (Massive 23).

To anyone who says a cooler doesn't make a big deal for this laptop, I beg to differ. A 10C benefit is definitely sweet! I can not get my GPU to go above 87C with the cooler running... It almost always hits 96-97 without.


Cool!

 

are you using the stock thermal compound??

I have the same cooler on and the highest GPU temp I got ~102C running Furmark..

 

I wasn't able to finish earlier, so I have rerun the test. I have taken the liberty of pasting the FurMark settings and AMD GPU Clock Tool over the screenshot. Here is the results:

 

Yes, the whole machine is stock A1 at the moment.

 

95deg, that's more like it. Bit different than the 85deg max you'd seen. I'm guessing the slight variances at the top-end are due to people's differences in room temps and BIOS/video driver settings.

 

after seeing these temps, i have to give up the idea to get a G73JH.

 

I'll probably regret asking this, but why?

 

Yep.. .room temps...played with AC set at 78 last night and my GPU maxed at 90...people need to understand that most individuals are playing in a well AC'd room at 75 or so degrees....with no AC in a 80-83 degree condo in Arizona i max 95....with AC set to 78 I max at 90...Now if I set my AC to 75 Im sure Id be in the 80's...catch the pattern

Please master, teach me your super mind reading powers that enable you to make these sweeping statements!

 

if you know nothing about thermal design, these articles might be helpful: http://www.electronics-cooling.com/...erant-and-high-availability-computer-systems/
http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/designex/29865502.pdf

if you have some knowledge on this field, you might have same conclusion as mine.

 

LOL...we are talking about GPUs mainly here...not CPUs.

 

I guess I've joined the 95 °C club (sig updated).

There are two things that are puzzling.

One, why are the temps for TSS 0 and TSS 2 much lower and should I mostly be concerned with TSS 1?

Two, why doesn't the FAH GPU client, which supposedly is pushing the GPU to the max, also not achieving the same temps?

 

Now back to, discussing, not arguing about, the G73. How did you discover "that most individuals are playing in a well AC'd room at 75 or so degrees"?\

 

As for the discovery of the AC'd room, again, I have super mind reading powers right...no actually its common sense, in our (G73) applications, that if someones temps are significantly lower than others it is USUALLY bc of room temp...but you knew that genius

Kalim-Wait I'm updating my Sig bc I would like to be the president if not co-owner of the club

 

You don't need a usb powered cooler to lower temps. I have mine sitting elevated on the desktop with a simple Targus X-Stand. My GPU temps usually run from 77C to 85C. You just have to have sufficient airflow for the heat to escape from from all areas of the unit.

I would ask what is one doing living in a place with no air conditioning and has a $1500.00 plus laptop!? I would think some priorities need to be rethought.

 

Why? It depends where you live

 

Thanks ironmike- I likes the fresh air and at night it dips down....to the 80's No today I turned the AC on as I HAD to here in Scottsdale at 90 degrees.

Really, the point is, if I knew I was causing premature wear on my laptop due to the temps Im seeing (As being co-owner (pending Kalim's acceptance of my application) of the 95 degree club) I would worry about it...bit thats my point...Im not worried

 

haha i wish.. its 2800 USD here for a A1...gee i'll just wait a little longer... still no money...brb...

 

sean going to college... Have you thought about getting the Asus U50 with the 15" screen, a Nvidia 310 but 10 hour battery? And then using the extra money for a console? I'd think that would cost less than the G73. Just another option.

 

thermal design principle is same.

 

nooo.. i want a gaming laptop.. i don't like consoles.. anyways , bahh, i don't mind paying the extra for the tech.. at least i get what i pay for lol.. more than what i can say when i bought the hp.. paid $1600 USD to get a load of crap.

 

Good to find a thread talking abot G73 gpu temps. Since I started using the thermaltake cooler....standard non-gpu usge temps are 58-62C. Was just playing assassin's creed. i bought the second one recently and warnted to play the first maxed out...and yeah...its a breeze...awsome looking and running...initial gaming showed max temps post gaming according to hwinfo32 was 83F. But for some reason, now its steadily going up, yesterday after 2h AC1 it was 85F, today after 1.5 to 2h of AC1 it is 86F. Anyways....just a bit paranoid...my inspiron 9300 always stayed in 70-80 and idled at 50 or so, but the moment it hit 70, it sounds like a hairdrier.

 

Looks like your mixing your Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures or was the GPU really 30 °C (86 °F).

Either way, I'm sorry to say your application into the 95 °C club has been denied. Hehe.

 

Figured why not post here though I'm a alienware m15x owner (with a recently installed 5870).

My idle temps with this card are around 59c/60c idle in windows, usually around 78c playing bad company 2 (80c/81c max). Running furmark hot as hell edition stability test for a little over 6 minutes I was sitting around 94c/95c, didn't want to keep going at the time wasn't sure when it would stop climbing lol!

My temperature in the house was 72F (22c) for all this testing. Good to see a temp thread regarding the 5870 gpu temps, make me feel a bit better with my temps after making the change.

Also a good note that some might not be aware of is that even in the newest driver verisons (10.3 and 10.6 beta) the clocks do not step down to the 2d clocks due to 2d performance issues in vista/7 currently. When that's fixed I'm sure you'll see much better idle temps in windows. Using AMD GPU clock tool dropping my memory to 200mhz and core to 300mhz I was able to sit at 55c idle in windows (57c max).

 

Application accepted. Welcome to the club.

 

Wait...if no one else has apllied for the co-ownership position then....... I havent recieved anything in the mail? Just checking

Hold..let me edit my sig

 

Your application to become co-owner was denied due to insufficient funds received.

 

Mailing money now...when you receive it do not trust your instinct that it resembles monopoly currency...

 

lol!! I think I still am eligible as I did hit 95C when I was running ashes cricket 2009 maxed with full AA and vsync...ran butter smooth...looked and played spectacular...but temps kept going higher and higher. I guess the AA process itself is responsible for higher temps. TUrn down AA...max temp in that game is 80C.

opps...yes...sorry...assassin's creed took me to 86C not 86F.

 

Application accepted. Welcome to the club.

 

Do companies put max applicable tempurature for mobile GPUs somewhere? Sure 95c looks high but it wouldn't be so bad if accepted max is like 120 or something.

 

Some do. If you click here, you'll get a list of Intel i7 Mobile CPU models. Clicking on them will present the CPU specification page, containing the Thermal Specification, which is the maximum case temperature at the maximum Thermal Design Power, (TDP), value for that processor. So for the G73Jh Mobile i7 CPUs, the Thermal Specifications are all the same;

i7 720QM - 100°C
i7 820QM - 100°C
i7 920XM - 100°C

If the CPU reaches those temps, it's supposed to enable thermal throttling, which is designed to protect the processor die against overheating. Here is a good article on the specific subject of i7 CPU temperature ranges, and here's a more technical post on the subject.

I quickly scanned the 5870M specification page, and couldn't find related temperature data, but perhaps someone is familiar with the information and can post to the thread. The only third party article I could find was this one, and it's regarding the desktop 5870, not the laptop GPU.

Good Luck..

 

yeah Jas. I found the hardocp page as well...but unfortunately, no information anywhere regarding max temps for mobile gpu. My geforce 6800go died when it reached 80C when the fan died.

 

I can join the club, now, right?

 

Application accepted. Welcome to the club.

 

I recently received my g73jh-a2 and got my first vertical line screen yesterday. I immediately ran more games for long periods of time to duplicate the issue, it was successfully duplicated. I then ran Furmark under full screen 1920x1080 stability test (this is all under the 10.4 drivers). I was able to duplicate the vertical lines after approx. 3-4 minutes of stability test. The temperature of the GPU according to Furmark maxed out at 105 degrees.

I decided to reformat and under stock conditions I have yet to get a vertical line screen, but the temperature of the gpu is still maxing at 105 degrees. I sit in a room @ ~20 degrees.

This may not be the right thread overall, but I find the temperature of the gpu to be an issue, please advise!

 

Double posting here as I think this was interesting find, in case some of you don't read the general G73 thread.

Clearing Up Any Questions About Cooling With The G73

I have done some testing to push the cooling system of the G73 with NO NOTEBOOK COOLER or ANY additional measures for cooling beyond the G73 itself on a desk!

I hope this helps people to understand what the G73 cooling is capable of.

Myth: TSS1 or the "supposed" memory temps

The TSS1 or the Memory Temps people have been worried about are WRONG! The TSS1 is called the MemIO. This is the "MEMORY CONTROLLER." MemIO are often and normally between 10-15C above the temps of Core. This is not something you need to worry about. Even if your MemIO reaches 95C, do NOT worry, this is stable and fine.

G73 Fan Control

The G73 fans are controlled differently. This has been tweaked more for retaining the "stealth" marketing for G73. I have clearly heard and seen that the G73 fans DO NOT GO ON FULL while gaming. Fans do not go on full until around 82-83C.

Crysis Benchmark

Crysis 800 Core, 1100 Memory Benchmark Cooling Stress.
- Chaos6 Particle Mod and Real Lifeses Mod used = Horrible Benchmark results
- Cooling is what we are after and this setup pushes max on the benchmark and temperatures.
- Fans NEVER went on full. Fluctuate between medium and low.
- In case you are wondering, without those mods, the average FPS is 34.



FurMark Xtreme Burning Benchmark 6000ms

Fans NEVER went on Full.



Vantage Benchmark, 800/1100 Overclock

Fans never went on full



FurMark Xtreme Burning Stability Testing 10 minutes

- Fans went on Full for the FIRST time while doing my G73 cooling tests. This was about 4 minutes into into the burn stability testing.
- It appeared to me about 82-83C when the fans went on full
- BTW fans on full are still quieter than my old G1 with 8600.



REAL TEMPERATURES



What About CPU?

CPU fan was never audible this entire time. I could barely even feel any airflow.

 

Well, Just wanted to add my 2 cents. my ambient 25C. My max furmark result 89C on extreme burning mode on TSS1. Max core I've ever seen was 85C.
I am using Enermax Aeolus cooler.

Tems after playing Dirt 2.

 

Hey guys!
Here are my temps after playing 4 hours of World of Warcraft:



Are these normal?

 

so after 10m:30 of furmark in xtreme burn mode (1.8.2) 107c would be 'hey something wrong with your lappy ape" time, wouldn't it? ambient is 73f

 

well i've hit 110c with furmark on mine and nothing wrong with my lappy except the PSOD(screen failure..not during test, unrelated to heat)

 

Hi i have made the benchmark test with furmark and after 20 seconds the temperature was 103c, the temperature in my office was 25c, is this normal? im a little concern about this because my laptop turns off before the benchmark test finishes... in fact in other moment i was playing Modern Warfare 2 for about 1 hour and suddenly my laptop turns off i guess because the gpu temperature, but when i reboot after this, the operative system dont said the options restart normally or in secure mode, like a normal shut down
I dont know if my GPU has a defect or whats the problem, the driver?
i have tried with the driver version 8.7.23 and 8.683 and stills shut down when running the furmark test or playing, should it be teh heat?
The only way to resist the bechmar furmark test was to underclock the core.
I have bought the laptop in Best Buy the model is G73JH-RBBX05
Please if you know something please let me know
Here some screen shots

The images that ziddy123 posted sets a bad example. Policy states images should be 500x500. Otherwise they should be thumbnailed or linked. You can fudge that a little, but not with a 1600x900 image.

It would seem that the laptop is overheating and shutting down. If you can, Furmark should be run for 10 minutes to reach maximum temperature. In case you didn't know, Furmark is measuring the GPU MemIO temp.

 

Ok, i have linked the images But i would like to know if my GPU is working fine... or if thera are a problem with the fan...what do you think?
Or Maybe you think that i shouldd go back to Best Buy to change my notebook?

 

Hi together !

i got mine 5 days ago and well not too happy...

I guess the first "mistake" i made was upgrading the stock ATI drivers to 10.4..

Anyway when i first ran the Furmark Stability(Burn in not turned on) test the Temp went up to max 97 Degrees....but no GSOD or whatever.

Later i tried it again with Turbo Mode on plus High Performance Energy Profile and immediately got a GSOD.

Seems like also in Games i get GSODs especially when turning on /off the Twin Turbo Mode(using the Middle one of the 3 buttons on the upper left side of the keyboard).

So should i reinstall everything and stick with stock drivers or RMA ?

Thanx in advance !
