So I just bought a refurbished g51 and of course the temperatures are high, i was expecting that. The problem is even though the gpu doesn't downclock while at 105c my 3dmark06 score is only 7,200. I have gpu-z running while 3dmark06 is and the card isn't downclocking I'm also using dox 195.62 drivers.

It may not be downclocking visibly, but you could be getting some stuttering/throttling at that temp (I think it's 105 where it does it!) that doesn't appear on GPU-Z.
Try taking the bottom off, and sitting the g51 on top of a fan (or notebook cooler) or something else to see if you get the same score with some extreme cooling - because I"m pretty sure it's 105 where you get throttling. -
OK somethings wrong, reapplied thermal paste and left cover off, temps only dropped 5c, but scores went up to 8k. Guess I'll try a better monitoring tool.
-
do a copper mod... those temps are too high and prop a notebook cooling pad like cryo LX... u'll burn your hands one day
-
Shipping it back, somethings wrong with the heatpipes, started monitoring the CPU and its the one that's downclocking not the gpu.
-
yup send it back.. i would personally get a G60JX.. way better than G51 and should be cooler.
