G50Vt GPU temperatures.

Hello!

I've recently been running into some problems while playing games on my G50Vt (mainly World of Warcraft if that matters) where it'd run smoothly without problems for a brief period of time and then it'd become almost unplayable (fps would drop down to below 14). It will stay like that for some time and then everything would start running smoothly again for a while and the process would repeat itself.

After searching for a possible cause I started looking at my graphics cards GPU temperatures and noticed they were really high. While just browsing the internet the temperatures are aroun 80. While gaming they'll rise up to 100. Now this can't be good can it? I'm really bad at all this computer/tech stuff so I'm asking you people: What should I do?

I've only had the computer for about 11 months now so the warranty is still up. Is this a good time to contact their service and send the computer in? Also, here's a screenshot of my temperatures while I have WoW running.



I apologise if this is a stupid post but I would really appreciate a second opinion. Also sorry for all the possible spelling errors and whatnot, not a native english speaker.

Thanks in advance.

 

first i would try cleaning out the dust (from the fan and grill). afaik, it doesn't make _that_ much of a difference, but it's worth a shot anyway. compressed air or a reverse-vacuum cleaner will work. taking off the back cover is one piece and a dozen screws, shouldn't be a problem.
if that doesn't fix the temperatures, you may want to consider sending it in.

google is your friend

 

your temp is really high mine gpu only goes over 80 on full load

 

your battery have some waer level

 

Damn thats a lot of temp u should consider wut thalanix said, if not maybe changin ur thermal paste might help, mine gets @ 96 MAX on furmark, and NFS shift maxxed .

cheers

 

^ if you don't care about warranty, but given "I'm really bad at all this computer/tech stuff" i would strongly recommend against.

 

i dont think cleaning it will void its warranty at least mine didnt come with any sort of sticker for warranty, not that i care of cuz asus support isnt available in my country hehe

 

You'd be surprised. My brother inherited my old HP laptop, which I did not clean at all. When he came back home for Christmas break, the damned thing was a fireball, and he even told me it shut down on him once. Took a monitoring of temperatures, and the CPU would hit 80+ immediately after bootup, and would go up to 97C before I freaked out and shut it down.

Some compressed air brought the temperatures down to 60C-70C
