    My laptop uses the NVIDIA 8400M G GPU, and it is more dangrous if its temperature is greater than 69 centigrade. But mine temp always ranges from 70-74, what can I do？ is there any solution provided by Asus?

    The OP could still try a cleanup especially if the notebook is more than a few months old, dust might have accumulated. Not to say that 70-75 idle is too much, some GPUs have that kind of temps and 8400M is not a very cool GPU (at least not in the W7S where I saw it...)

    Thanks! I should try to clean the vents.

    I have also read a post that says the high temp of GPU is a defect of Asus F3 series. F8 Series is much better
