Temperature problems, kinda paranoid/worried

Okay i've read the threads about the average temperature for the G1s and I was curious, so i downloaded nbprobe. rivatuner, and speedfan. The result? My G1s gets HOT! Doing nothing with nothing running i'm idling at average 50 C, which I assume is normal but when playing a game such as World of Warcraft on max resolution; my GPU Temp according to rivatuner goes from 95 -105 C Even as i'm typing this my gpu is like at 75 C. Is this normal or is something wrong? It hasn't even had time to collect dust in the vents but i checked those and i'd rather my 2 grand laptop not be fried. Is there anything i can do besides buying a laptop cooler and cleaning out the vents(which i've already done, looking into the cooler idea) to lower my temp? I'm playing on a Hard wood desk at a library.

Edit: My fans are almost always running high enough to make a noticeable noise; and the heat coming out of the right side of my keyboard, well it's enough to keep you're hands toasty warm on a cold winter day.

Appreciate you're help

Ok you are just looking at the GPU temps?

Idle temp is 50 [GPU?]
Gaming temp is 95-105, this is high.

Typing a document the gpu temp is 75? This does not make sense, unless ur laptop is still cooling after playing games, and you were writing this, or you alt + tab and started to type.

Just in case, remove some of these programs you have installed and stick to 1 program that gives you both CPU and gpu temps.

Retest your results.

Idle CPU and GPU temp.
Light Work (browsing, documents) CPU and GPU temp.
Gaming CPU and GPU temp.

Remember let to laptop cool after each test.

Getting a laptop cooler will help, look at what other G1 owners have bought and see their results.

Playing on a hardwood desk is just fine

 

holy crfap 95-105 is insane lol dude @_@;;;;;;; that doesn't sound normal i doubt it's getting that hot lol

 

Idle, sitting here.
Speedfan:


RivaTuner


While playing WoW my cpu/HD temp goes up slightly, but my gpu saying 95-105 lol. (not funny, almost makes me wanna cry tbh)

I thought of something however, When i setup rivatuner i offset the teamperature by 0. Could my GPU Temp's be wrong? The bottom of my laptop feels hot, but not 100C, i've been burned by boiling water i know what 100C would feel like, even through the plastic.
I was changing some indexing options earlier and moving lots of files and unzipping /rar'ing stuff that might explain the HD temp

I know the gpu temp doesnt make sense, but i was worried anyway and those darn fans are going so loud lol.

Can anyone reccomend a different program to moniter my GPU Temperature that would be more accurate?

Edit: Downloaded Mobile Meter , get Error, cannot communicate with APCI Drive. Downloaded NHC, IT does a wierd thing when i run it like the backlight for the screen turns off and everything get's really dark. But it recoreds my CPU Temp as 65/65 Core 1/2 respectively.
What is with these temp meters?

 

The GPU temp should be read in by the driver (in XP, Desktop properties / Settings / Advanced / GeForce ...) should be similar in Vista.

If you have the stock driver then that's the temperature you can trust.

For a trustworthy CPU temp reading, use RMClock (with the no management profile which is the default on the first startup).

 

if fans blowing full blast and still sitting on 95-105 then i think it's lying to you about the temp lol

 

Your gpu temp is wrong. 100C is enough to melt everything and anything around it except for metal. This has been an ongoing complain for years with new laptops and used. Remove all that garbage from your laptop. the only temp (if you reall must monitor) is your cpu. g1s cpu and gpu is cooled by the same radiator and fan. It is safe to assume that when your cpu temp is higher then normal so is your gpu due to a clogged radiator which is fairly easy to clean. The rule of thumb is (i have tested for this many times over the years and done enough research to know that it applies to most) cloean out your radiator every 2000 hours or so. That means if you keep your notebook on 12 hours a day (i think that is excessive use) then you MUST clean out the radiator every half year. If you use your notebook 3 hours a day every day then within 3 years you probably should not worry. what surface and environment you use your notebook in can also reduce the life of your clean radiator. for example if you mainly use your notebook on your bed or couch then clean it more often. if you house has a lot of dust same applies. 105C is not possible inside a notebool. This is overheating. There is aboslutely nothing in your notebook that can get that hot without a meltdown. GPU core does not have the same threshhold ac a cpu core which can operate normal @ 90C but generally will either enter shutdown or start acting up about 95C. @ 95C trust me you will feel it. It is not just going to be hott it will be very uncomfortable. my super thin m5n is @75C now. It conducts heat alot better to the bottom then your G1s. It is uncomfortable and i am sweating which is why i have to close it and go to work now. @105C i would be burning my skin

 

you are doing your laptop a huge diservice by loading all that nasty software on it. remove all of it. you dont need to monitor your temp unless you have utilities that control your temp which can potentially damage your laptop. This is comming from someone who fixes asus laptops and depends on it for a living. There is absolutely no reason for any user to monitor their temps. I dont and neither should you. Monitor your temp ONLY if you refuse to clean out your radiator ontime. (every 2000 work hours or so is highly recommended)
It is actually time to format your laptop after you installed all of those diseases on it

 

hmmmmm my laptop is going to be on 24/7 is that terribly bad for it >_< I thought that was good, i mean maybe not good for the fans/hdd but constant cooling/heatup i though wasn't healthy :O?

 

thanks all , yeah i already deleted most of that garbage, i wanted to just check it out and see what they say. Ty Geared2Play that was a response that made me feel better.

 

Well, I have to disagree with

I will give some examples of good reasons:
- glitchy BIOS that sometimes "forgets" to start the fan at all, leading to CPU overheating (happened to me)
- knowing when it becomes necessary to clean up the fans. The 2000 work hours is a rule of thumb, if you are in a dusty environment you might need to do so every 2 weeks, if not maybe once every year.
- verifying whether there is any benefit from undervolting

and I can probably come up with more.

I would suggest remove speedfan it might have issues with newer laptops. But RMClock is in my experience perfectly safe and flawlessly implemented (as long as the voltages are not dropped to unstable values). MobileMeter is also safe since it only reads stuff.

I do not recommend a Windows reinstallation, removing unused / possibly faulty software, possibly followed by a registry cleanup, will do just fine.

 

1. known to happen when fan software is present. never happen on any asus model that has not had the pleasure of meeting fan modding software, atleast not to any popular ones that we have sold over the years
2. true but such an extreme may be possible if you live in a clothes dryer. 2000 work hours applies in most if not all cases. 1000 hours would be an extreme that has yet to be encountered with an asus model. their heatsinks and fans remained the same over the years.
3. there is always a benefit in undervolting in terms of temp. every asus model and most likely other brands have cpu temps reduced as a result of undervolting with the exception of ultra low voltage cpu.

 

1. known to happen when fan software is not present...

As I said, happened to me. I am using RMClock + MobileMeter, but they have nothing to do with fans.

 

for the record, i never changed or modified ANYTHING, i was using these programs strictly to READ my temperature and nothing else.

 

I keep hearing the same from people. "i though it was good to leave your pc on". Do you leave your car on when it is parked? There is no starter in your laptop to break every time you turn it on. in many years of repairs on laptops and pcs the biggest problems and most expensive to fix come from users that leave their laptops on more then others. sure there have been customers that sent them in barely used. thos are rare in relation to the rest. It is a fact. The more that your laptop is on the more chance you have to send it in for rma faster then they guy that barely uses it. I can see how turning the laptop on 100 times a day may have its health risks but that is another extreme. my laptop is on in the evening and morning about 3 hours a day now a days. i turn it on and off maybee half dozen a day. lasted me almost 3 years now

 

Can you read the temp from the GPU driver? And if so, does it has the same large values? If so, I am afraid that either something is wrong with the temp sensor or the drivers -- or indeed the GPU is overheating.

 

No i can't seem to read an accurate temperature. Before i uninstalled all my temp moniters, i turned off my comp. went took a piss, got something to eat, gave it a good 20 minutes to cool down. Turned it on and gpu temp says 75 which it clearly wasnt. The vents were blowing out room temperature air and the bottom didn' feel even warm.

 

Probably you have a faulty driver, BIOS, or sensor then.

Indeed since the heatsink is the same you could use the CPU temp as an indirect way to see if the GPU is reaching dangerous values.

 

Checked with my G1S that i got 2 days back and i get about the same readings. GPU temps about 75-80 at normal use which goes up to 95-103 on gaming..

Well, dunno if this is normal or if some fan within is not working but the air that blows out from the back vent is pretty hot and you cant keep ur hand there very long without feeling uncomfortable.
The space above the keyboard also gets pretty hot. CPU temps about 65'C at idle on RMClock(which goes to about 75'C on gaming) while speedfan shows about 50'C on idle at the same instance.. Im assuming here RMclock is showing the correct temps instead of Speedfan.

Hmm, this is one hot laptop! And with no AC, gaming is a sweaty affair!
