First time in Furmark, are my temps OK?

Hi all, since always complying about people using furmark to burn their system, now with new vBIOS/BIOS/drivers I decided to give a chance and test the rotating donut to see how my system perform under stress. I never repasted my VGA, I only opened my system once to replace my HDD for a SSD.


Here my temps:

In idle my average are around 58C with powerplay activated.

With powerplay disable the increases to 62C (TSS1).

On games my temp are around 85-95C, depending on the game and how fast can see the temps before the cooling system drops them.

The CPU are around 42C idle (O% state), 47-50C browsing, 57C high demand apps.

Furmark: tested for 20 min in controlled temp room (21-22C), powerplay activated and system running 700/1000 all the time during the test.

TSS0 89.5 average
TSS1 107 average
TSS2 101 average

Max TSS1 108

Temp were test with AMD Utility and HWiNFO32. Also, during the test, HWiNFO32 reported 100% VGA utilization and 100% Fan utilization (from 2800r pm to 4700 rpm). The CPU stay all the time at 57C. IMO, for a non-repaste system, this performance is really cool.

Also, I'm glad to see how fast the temps drops after the test indicating how efficient is the cooling system. Took 3 sec to drops from 107 to 90C and after 1 min all the temps drops to the idle ones and become complete silent. During the test I continue browsing and the whole system remained stable. I'm with drivers 10.7a and at the end, was terrible boring to stay with the donuts opened for so long. I can't imagine how boring can be run Furmark for more than 2 hours

Just let me know if they are OK or not for you guys. I already have the Hellcry opinion about my idle temps, just waiting for the rest of you guys (today a feel sluggish to search in all across the forum the temps reports from others users).

Thanks

 

Personally, I would open her up and repaste. The heatsink in the G73 is insufficient for its purpose, imo, and it looks like in addition you got a crummy paste job. My temps are about 20 degrees lower at load. 108C is on the verge of a thermal protection shutdown, and even if it's within normal operating ranges, temps this high will degrade your GPU faster.

 

The shaders and memory are getting a little high. You should try repasting with some MX-3 or OCZ freeze.

 

Probably you are right guys, but still in under 110C in an artificial condition (considering thermal shutdown at 114C). Never has a thermal shutdown and my tested games never goes over 95C.

Also, consider I always got extra screws remaining every time I open a desktop/laptops

 

I ran furmark post-repaste for 20 minutes at default settings, 1920x1080 fullscreen on the "stability" test and the max was 89 C.

Is this the test everyone else is running, or are they using the more demanding settings?

 

I did the burn test and my temp max was 86 degrees. I'm gonna wait off on the repaste and also gonna wait to upgrade my vbios...no GSOD during furmark or sc2.

 

I'd look to repaste if I were you. I just got my G73 back from an RMA where they repasted it. I was informed that my GPU hit 106C in less than 20 mins of Furmark (yes, they used Furmark) before repaste.

After repaste, they ran Furmark overnight for 21 hours straight and GPU hit a max of 90C. If Chastity and some others are any indication, that'll drop another few degrees as the paste settles. In my own experience, I've been unable to get the GPU temp above 81C while gaming since I got my laptop back from RMA.

So yeah, your temps are high, and a repaste could really help you out. Incidentally, I arranged for Asus to repaste mine with self-supplied ICD7.

 

After reading the thread about your successful repasting but faulty USB port and lan I'm convincing mself to leave as is, just beacuse the system works flawless. My temps in game reach 76-88-85 C (TSS0-1-2) in Burnout Paradise. I never put my system to extreme stress conditions.

 

Burnout Paradise is currently the area around your GPU die.

I don't think I need to reiterate my feeling s on triple-digit temps.

 

If you want to fry a steak on the GPU heatsink its good. However if you want to play games on it without frying the GPU in the process i suggest to get it repasted ASAP.

 

What is the difference between the two FurMark-modes, Xtreme Burn and stability?

 

no idea i think its the same...heheh getting 76c after a 30min of furmark extreme burning mode hehhe...oh yah repasted with a Tuniq TX-4 Thermal Paste..cpu maxed out at 58c

 

76C at furmark O_O please don't mind are sure you read your temp. correctly any screenshot if possible please

Welcome to Team IC Diamond

 

please please share your secret or guide of getting such low temp.

BTW i have OCZ Freeze lying in my house will it do the job . Getting good paste here in india is pain

 

1) Doing a good repaste job

2) Not having stupid-high ambient temps

 

common girl you too saying same way other say . i mean some say do this way some say that way in the end i say forget i am not doing its too confusing .

please please little help .

 

Is it possible for you guys to post a shot of your sensor information from hwinfo32 during one of your furmark runs? I'm interested in seeing what your airflow temps look like and what the other sensors are reading.

What is the test setup? Do you have it elevated off the desk when doing the runs?

Just leaving it flat on my desk not propped up no cooler underneath I consistently get 88-90C max temps. Once I lift it in the air the temps drop 5C. Would like to see the hwinfo32 sensor screenshot at the 20min mark furmark to compare. Thanks if you can swing it.

 

His lower temps are from the smaller res he's using. You can also see it in the fps he's getting on furmark. If he were running it at 1080p I'd expect it to go up to 80C.

Personally I don't run furmark on my M15x anymore because it causes performance degradation even without hitting dangerous temperatures and I would suggest you not run it for too long.

 

Well, 20 min, no, I'm getting ready to leave, but my temps don't change after 5, so here's a pic:

Wrong. A smaller resolution would just increase his FPS score. The GPU is still at 100% load and will produce the same temps. I have verified this numerous times on my happy hairy donut runs.

Here's a second 5 minute with 1080p settings and 8x MSAA:

woooa, even the fan are not full speed!!!, and the cpu remains under the 50s.

Are you interested in trade you lappy for mine one. My G73 came with both Burnout Paradise (the racing game) and Burnout Paradise (the VGA edition)

 

Thank you, that explains a lot. My ambient is way above yours. You have some awesome temps overall though. Haven't seen anyone else duplicate that yet.

 

No thx, I have that game on Steam

 

Quick question for you Thermal Paste guru's. What is the difference from a normal CPU thermal paste like AS5 vs the ICDiamond stuff you guys are using? I ask since I already have some AS5 which has worked great on all my air cooled and water cooled desktop builds but have heard its less of a prime choice for GPU pasting (On desktop units since AS5 is conductive)
I just also love AS5 due to the fact that it does not seam to deterriorate over time like many other thermal pastes but actually works better after a time.

 

It really has to do with the job you do on the paste more then paste itself.. So if you have good success with AS5 then stick with it...

The whole conductive thing is not an issue unless your slathering it on like peanut butter...

 

The only potential issue with AS5, it is said that you need to reapply every few years.

 

That is what I thought you did not have to do with AS5 since its such a high Silver content, vs the paste style of other Paste? Correct me if I'm wrong since I have never reaplyed AS5 to any system and they are all running cool still.

 

Hard to say, I had some on a skt 939 desktop build for 5 or 6 years. Recently I gave in and tore it down, and my AS5 application was dry and crumbly, but I hadn't had any temperature issues at all.

As an interesting aside, I finally tore down and repasted my G73 today. The thermal paste on the CPU and GPU was even more dry and crumbly than the aforementioned computer I recently tore down. I was absolutely shocked.

 

Yeah the stock paste breaks down super fast thats why most people are saying repaste now or later but at some point you will most likely have to do it ...

Thats why people buying from resellers may want to pony up the cash and have them do it before they receive the machine so if they are not comfortable handling it themselves its already done..

 

my AC5 is still on my desktop cpu going on 4 years, temps are still the same as when it cured. Will be changing soon though.

 

I prefer ICD's approach of having a highly viscous material. It will not thin out as easily, and really keeps out air if done properly.

 

Are those RAM temps or GPU temps you guys getting?

 

GPU temps, I don't think there is a sensor for the vram unless you put one in there yourself.

 

here u go...after almost 1 1/2 hour of furmark... http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p141/unknown0203/vfdfsfdsfs.png

 

Did you repaste? With what?

Did you order it with a repaste?

I'm jealous... I can play OK, but I feel I'm sitting on a ticking bomb... my temps reach 100°C while gaming (though they mostly stay around 93°C)

 

yes i repasted with Tuniq TX-4 Thermal Paste and repasted it my self..

 

After update bios, vbios, and ati drive to 10.8... my gpu temp is 106 C. I will need repast it...

me too jealous of you . please please can't you too share your little bit experience how you applied the paste .

Also are you using any laptop cooler . if yes which one

 

http://forum.notebookreview.com/asu...epaste-tuniq-tx-4-result-better-than-icd.html

there u go...its my thread about repasting the beast..im using a NZXT CYRO LX cooling pad..

 

thanks dude
i will check that thread

 

your welcome..

 

After repast im get diferent temp. Maybe i didnt plug right the gpu cooler?

 

wow that seems like what used to be mine before repasted...what thermal paste did u apply???

 

artic silver 5

 

How much paste did you put? Your only supposed to put a tiny dab.

 

a lot of than

 

No wonder, you must be in the arctic. Your airflow temp at 28C means low temps on furmark. Most of us at 37-39C which means higher furmark readings. Add 9C to your Furmark and you are right about where we are.

 

hahaha my room temp is around 23-25c i dont like too cold temps at my room as its fall now..outside temps are around 15c now...with my indoor temps and ac off now its showing 23,4c inside my room now..my CPUID HW MONITOR is showing 34c now...cpu idle at 48c and gpu at 47c at idle..

 

After use tiny dab
