    Hi friends,

    My laptop config:-

    Intel Centrino Duo 2.0 Ghz
    256 MB 8600M GT graphics card
    DVD etc..

    I am using Dox's 185.85 drivers and while playing any graphic intensive game like GTA IV or NFS Undercover.

    While using GPU-Z the max temp was 90 degrees :eek:
    and around 80-85 while gaming.
    Normal temprature is 60-65 degrees

    No OC

    stock GPU clock -475 Mhz
    Memory clock - 702 Mhz
    Shader- 950 Mhz

    Whats the problem ??? :confused:

    there is no problem, its just the nature of our laptop.. try reading through the past threads.. its the usual complaint of 1530 owners such as us..

    Is it something wrong with the drivers, since India is a tropical country and it will get more hotter without the AC running ?

    obviously u need to update the drivers, specially the bios and video card. but will not help that much. had my 1530 for 1.5 yrs now, already changed twice my heat sink, once my mother board. just buy one of those small usb fans and position it on the side.. it wil help as well..
