the new asus g51

I think he means that 70*C is his temperatures when browsing around. GPU-Z and HWMonitor both report temperatures in one second intervals. If you are observing a five second gap, then that means that something is hogging CPU resources and holding up the program. The only component that has "slow" temperature reporting is the ACPI.

 

I'm fairly sure he means 70 processes.

 

I'm 100% sure he means $70.

 

More like €70.

Anyway, it's 81F in my room, and the Zalman is running full blast. (I just finished swiss-cheesing my backpanel.) My GPU is about 46C.

And by seventy I meant processes.

 

mine idles at 46C anyways so that doesn't seem like such a large improvement oO

 

I've noticed my GPU seems to idle right around 58-60C most of the time.

 

if its idling at that temp powermizer is most likely not enabled. be sure to check with GPU-Z and make sure your clocks are at 200/120. if they are not powermizer is not kicking in.

 

I'll have to check that tomorrow. I didn't get GUP-Z downloaded yet and no wireless until tomorrow.

 

I installed CPUID and GPU-Z. Just played the new Wolfenstein game on medium to high settings (about 1200x900) for about 90 minutes then checked the max temps. The CPU only hit 44C, the GPU hit 90C. Sitting here about 10 minutes later the CPU/GPU are at 31C/50C.

Not sure how much load that game puts on the GPU.

 

It put 40*C of load on your GPU.

 

What's your ambient temperature?

EDIT: Ooh, UPS just dropped off my RAM heatspreaders

 

usually between 80 and 85F. Earlier today it was idling @48C in 92F ambient.

 

And everything's stock, right?

Very impressive. Now imagine if you did what I did.

 

yep...even my thermal paste is stock, even tho I have the ICDiamond 7 sitting here...I like my warranty too much lol. gonna be moving sometime between now and the end of this month so I won't have the $ to fix/replace it for a while.

 

what exactly did you do ?

also since u guys are talking about temps here ....... heres my question

which is the best cooler for the G51-RX05 out of these 3? since from my understanding the fan is on the side of the Esc key but has vents on the bottom along with that fake grill intake ..... right ?

This.

Not shown in the picture is my new bottom panel, which is riddled with 1/32'' holes, and the copper shims wedged between the northbridge and GPU heatsinks.

Going to install there Sunbeam things in a second. Still waiting for more copper blocks. And have to figure out a way to hammer flat four pieces of copper with the tools I have.

 

He yelled at his GPU and it cried. The GPU tears acted as a coolant for the heatsink and it lowered his temperatures.

 

I bet that would've been more effective.

 

dam element and guys...how you getting so low temps for the GPU? i get 60C and when my screen is off, the gpu temps drop down to like 50C. what have you done to actually get those low temps? did you start off with it? also my c2q idles at around 52C, which seems about rite?

btw im 100% sure its at powermizer 2D clocks, gpu reports 200/120. cmon i wanna figure this out, although in the long run, its a known fact that teh G51 can resist high temps. idk i just like to have the peace of mind that my gpu temps are lower than 55C lol

CPLTPILOT - how the heck to you max out at 44C while playing a game? thats like unreal...goddam 31C idle, how i wish i had that

EDIT: haha nice to know my cpu temps are normal. saw forge's test with his copperblocks and he gets 72C in 3dmark. i get the exact same on two cores and 70 on two other cores. the gpu puzzles me tho....

 

I have done absolutely nothing. my CPU is even overclocked to 3.1GHz and never breaks 61C when gaming, occasionally breaks 63-65C when stress testing but stabilizes at 61C after ~15 minutes. I am very, very tempted to change the thermal paste on my GPU, to see if that'll keep my temps below 90C.

 

http://a.imagehost.org/0379/temps.png

the 38C on the CPU was from doing a run of wPrime (24.881 seconds)


and quit removing your posts Soviet!

 

you know wat F-U ELEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!! yoo got killer deal + killer temps. lol sorry jk but i just realized something...the ambient temps.

rite now its gone to 57C with 80F amb.

b4 it was like 82 but with the fan in the room off.

tomorrow im going to try like the normal 75F i keep during the day with high ceiling fan speed and see what i get. hopefully the 50C that you guys are getting. what are ur guy's ambients?

 

My current ambient is 74C

 

Well, this bites. Turns out you can't fit a Sunbeam heatspreader on the underside of the bottom RAM stick. I had two sides applied to one stick--I only bought one two-spreader kit to test out clearance--and the damned thing wouldn't fit on the bottom interface. Had to switch places with the naked one.

On the bright side, the top of the last stick has enough clearance, so there we go.

Ambient as of this moment is 81C. With the Zalman at full blast I'm getting 46C on the GPU.

 

What post?

 

since i edited my post like 5 mins after & might have been missed ....... heres the question that i posted later .....

the "I wish I had those temps too" post =p.

 

I've never been to hell before.

 

Soviet has an Xpad...and I've been pondering getting one myself. Also, the vents on the bottom are all intake. The only exhaust is on the left hand side.

 

LOL i got 24.8 secs at 1.5GHz underclock on my c2q. on 32M ofcourse.

...weird when i run it the mult. stays at 6.0, it never goes up???

yea this is weird even when i OC it says i got 22S at 1560MHz i peak at 60C WAIT NVM - i reloaded program says 1921MHz got 20.01 secs...

edit: another question i was asking myself, i decided on the zalman instead of teh xpad.

 

I wish I had those temps.

 

you also have a quadcore, iirc it utilizes all for cores, no? so should be faster. but yes, it says my speed is at 1.9GHz as well, when I'm running wPrime.

 

You mean this one? http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.php?p=5323121&postcount=2880

 

-_- I'm apparently clairvoyant?

 

Yes. And you are able to tell that I am typing on my M38AW too.

 

I'm sure it'd be warmer than scalding water.

 

HOORAY for the 1AM club...srsly tho why am i getting so poorly? on 1.9Ghz i only get 20secs while a c2d at 1.9GHz gets 24?

 

only 10PM here on the west coast.

 

lol o yea 3hours behind east coast HEeeYA

 

alrite ima continuos this l8r, gotta do this biology bullcrap...im a bad procrastinater

 

Only 09:00 here in Moscow.

 

o wow so you actually live in russia? i thought that was just some random name...lol i thoguht u were from teh west coast california area. are you hardcore russian or what? lol anyways i saw the review for my machine and the wprime is supposed to get 17.6sec @ 2.15GHz. how do you guys make it so its at 7.5 multiplier, not the underclocking mutl?


wow i miserably failed, i got 39.624 sec when i set threads to 2.

 

i dnt knw abt the xpad ..... from reading reviews at amazon, its like 50% like it & dont like it, although the concept seems cool .... & the tiny antec cooler has mostly positive reviews ...... but the Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler wouldnt work coz it sucks air away from the vents, which is the opposite of wats it supposed 2 be doing for the G51 ...... i would just buy all 3 to test it but I cant now since im moving to davis for univ

& man i could keep reading on & on about the cooling threads & mods while time flies & my beard grows ....... but prob is I just cant remembr all of it :S

& soviet add me on steam or accept my invite ..... lets see ur skills in l4d :O .... anyone else here play l4d ?

 

Didn't know there was a Moscow, California.

 

^yea what i was thinking...

 

I named my home Moscow.

 

@ ZeusV. The USB Antec won't do you any good since it sucks air in. The smaller Antec has some benefit since it pulls "cool" air in and directs it under the laptop. The main issue I see is that you aren't going to be able to balance the laptop on the cooler very well (which is necessary in order for the airflow to go under the laptop) without covering the intake vents... They really should have made longer arm extensions for that cooler.

Of those three you listed I would say the Xpad might be your best bet... You might want to take a look at this. That should boost your confidence about it's performance. Personally though, I want to give the Vizo Xena II a shot and see how that goes.

 

which uni do you go to? uni of moscow, CA?

 

San Francisco State University. University of Moscow is the name of my cramming desk.

 

kkk so u are american rite? whats ur major? i still have no clue....chemistry/math since im indian heritage...lol then agian im only a sophomore (high skool/not college) so idk yet.

did you guys have a keen interest in ur major in high skool and knew you were meant to do it?
