ASUS G1 GeForce 7700 Temps???

ok, got an ASUS G1 with a GeForce 7700go 512MB Video Card and a T7200 CPU.

i've seen some artifacting and stuff in games (i mostly play WoW on it )
like, textures shoot out across the screen and weird polygon things..

so i installed the NVIDIA System Tools and its showing my GPU temp at roughly 60C Idle and up to 92C Load. I haven't seen it artifact while running the sensor program so not sure if it gets higher.

Do you think thats too hot? i normally just have the notebook on a normal table (not on my lap or anything ) and there isn't anything blocking ventalation.

anyone else have the same video card? any idea wat temps u get?

i live in Western Australia...at the moment its the Peak of Summer and we are constantly getting days of 35-42C.

The machine has just turned 2, so i suppose its possible that dust is blocking airways...there is a fair bit of hot air coming out of the back, but there could be more???

thanks!

 

Yes, first thing to do would be clean out the vent and radiator to see what impact that might have on temps. After 2 years of use, depending on how you've used it, there could be an entire colony of dust bunnies in there.
