G53SW Fans running at 100% all the time...

I have a brand new (2 weeks old) G53SW, and just recently the fans are running at 100% and making a ton of noise. I can't figure out why because the temperatures of the cores are only at like 95 deg F. Is there a software setting that would cause the fans to be always on?

 

Try powering it off and removing the battery and unplug ac power. Let it sit for 30 seconds.

If that does not work you can try entering the bios setup menu (f2 as the system is first powered on) and reset to user defaults.

Besides that it could be a driver issue or a busted sensor or bad fan wire (not likely).

 

95 F or 95 C ? they are two very different temps.

 

Yes good eye juggar...

SerratedAuto, if you are running at 95C, then you need to check your task manager for processes eating your CPU time.

 

I watched a lot of reviews regarding that laptop and supposedly there is a key to make the fan go to 100% and it corresponds with "turbo mode". I believe it will not allow you to go to "turbo mode" while running on battery but will allow the fan to go to 100%. However while your plugged in it allows for the "turbo mode" to enable as well as 100% fan speed. I suppose it's a hot key on the keyboard, like funtion + turbo key "rebuild of gamers looking key I blieve". All I know is I really really want to get a g53sw so badly. I just want to know what the exact temps are of the cpu and and gpu at idle and the cpu and gpu under load. Can you provide that information to me? I will also look for a source in confirming my suspicion regarding ASUS button activated fan control. Which by the way is an extremely attractive feature to me.

Fans aren't supposed to run fullspeed, and there's no button combination for it.
I would check temps before anything else, 95F is not 95c, if it's the latter is insanely high.
Funny how fans keep the full blast but the laptop doesn't shutdown itself at those temps.

 

I tried pulling the battery and letting it sit and restoring the BIOS. Neither worked...

Also it is 95 F, so its not that hot...

 

Which fan is it? (as you are facing the laptop screen top left is CPU top right is GPU)

A fella the other day had just the GPU fan causing this problem and by reflashing the Vbios this cured the problem for him.

However normally the power trick works might be an idea to have another go at it.

 

What are the temps like on the 2630QM and GTX460M under load? I would also like to know how much cooler everything runs at 100% fan speed which I really want to be able to adjust. I suppose there is no key to adjust fan speed? I read a review somewhere on youtube of a g53 with an adjustable button to control the fans when gaming.

Thanks

 

You cant adjust fan speed mate, that review is bollocks. Unless you use a third party program, such ik8fan, something like that.
Temps under load at stock, at least here, is 70 for cpu, and 70 for GPU. I get in the 80s when overclocking the gpu thought.

 

i can tell you couple things about that problem. happened to me too.
first try to update the bios.
secondly that battery pull-out will only work for a couple of times
third like they said no way to control the fan speed sorry
and lastly i sent mine back to the company to get a new one already. so you might as well do it before your warranty goes bad.

make sure to tell them that you want an exact change not a repair cuz it will happen again!!!
