    I have been using 186.82 drivers and getting high temperatures while gaming and on idle from 2 days. When I do some gaming with SLI on X9000, my GPU temperature reached 98 and 78 on idle. It was during MW2 and AVP. Any suggestions to cool down this heat problem?? And yes, I have cleaned the vents.

    Thanks

    Were the fans on full blast when you were gaming? Check the system fan's activity closely.

    My Go7700 usually ran that hot, I always just assumed Nvidia's goal was to melt laptops. *shrug* Oh and roast your crotch.

    It could be that you have to change compound on the GPU´s or just have to open up the whole laptop and clean it especially the fans on the GPU´s. I have the same GPU´s but mine has never reached as high as 98 degrees.

    Well i do have to agree... but u can slow it down the roasting....

    1. undervolt CPU using the undervolting guide
    2. Get 195.62 drivers... and do the below riva tuner fix.. it will ensure powermixer clocks don't rise even when there is no hardware acceleration... all does undervolt GPU in a way...

    3. Get a notebook cooling fan... it does help quite a lot especially if ur vents are blocked..
