    What are the average idle temp's for a g53? Ive had my laptop for 6 months and it has been smooth sailing up until lately when I've been getting some high temps. I'm idling at 55-60 degrees CELSIUS and reaching 80+ C under load. Before this I usually idled at around 43-48 and not reaching more than 70C. Oh and BTW I even reached 90C while playing starcraft... not SC2. SC brood war.. :confused: Is this normal for any g53jw? Any ideas out there? :confused:

    What are your ambient temps? Did they go up with the approach of summer?

    G73jw temps I have seen people posting are around the 80-85oC' mark under full load so with the G53jw model which people already confirm runs hotter because of restricted cooling space inside I would not be worrying personally about those temps.

    Depending on how long you have had it could be the stock paste on its way out but I still dont think those temps are anything to really worry about especially as your ending summer and your ambient temp will drop.

    Think about a repaste with a TIM before next summer and you should be ok just keep an eye on the max temps from time to time.

    I go by my personal maximums which are CPU 90oC GPU 100oC. Once they go within a few degrees of those temps I repaste.

    I was thinking about re-pasting too. Cause I disassembled my laptop thinking that maybe the cause of the heat is the vents are full of dust but it wasn't. SO i think I'm gonna re paste. Any suggestions on a good thermal compound?

    Have you tried cleaning your vents? That is probably the quickest and cheapest fix as far as reducing temps is concerned.
