    I just wanted to have an idea how high the temps go on this card and what is the peak temperature before it results in a BSOD. I have been playing NFS Pro Street for about 20 minutes and the temps are settling at about 98 C. The Cpu temps are 74 and 80 C! I am also thinking of downgrading to some other version of NFS as I played NFS Underground an year back and I liked it more than Pro Street.

    There is no way it should run that hot, update your drivers, and if it is still doing, call HP and get them to fix it.

    Which drivers should I update to? I am confused by looking at all the various drivers @ laptopvideo2go. Could you please assist me in finding the right drivers?

    I left the latest drivers (169.09) on your ftp site radopod. it already has the modded .inf inside.

    all you gotta do is run setup.exe

    Firstly I have installed those drivers ages back. Thanks to flipfire for the files.

    Secondly I use HWMonitor to track temperatures. Plus I also use RMClock. More or less they are the same.
