    So I've had my SW for about a year and a half now, and naturally my temps have slowly gotten worse over time. I regularly clean my vents with compressed air, but obviously the thermal paste will degrade. Right now intensive gaming or Furmark can see my GPU get up to a max of 93C. This isn't great, but it's still significantly cooler than my JH and doesn't seem cause for panic. However, my GPU appears to be throttling at 93, which is seriously annoying and preventing any real overclocking.

    Is the only solution a repaste, and is this even normal for the 460m? Thanks.

    You need to repaste. My G73Jh never got anywhere near that hot even when gaming in the hot summer days.

    I agree, those temps are high for a 460m, quite high actually.
