Graphics Card temperature

I am sorry if this post has already been posted but I need your help guys.
I have Ideapad Y550 with nvidia GT 130M gfx card. I tested my gfx card using furmark for just 5 minutes and the temperatures of gt130m has reached 92C. I am worried about the GPU temperatures if demanding games like Crysis are played. Is there any way I can decrease the GPU temperatures?

 

Furmark will generally push your card further than even the most intensive games you play. You can reduce your card's temperature by undervolting (usually you are unable to underclock after undervolting your GPU, because it doesn't have the power to push the higher clocks) you can also change your thermal paste to a better paste though this will most likely void warranty. I recommend Arctic Silver MX-3 or IC Diamond 7. Also, if you have not opened up and cleaned your notebook recently, I highly recommend doing so.

True story. I wouldn't start to get worried until the GPU gets close to 100. I've read that the (nvidia) GPU's are rated for 120C but I've never been in a position to test that. Under 100C is fine with me.

 

^^ the 260m is rated to 108C iirc, and at 104C damage begins to be done to the chip, at 108C the card is officially "dead"

 

I just checked the specs, I was off. Maximum GPU temp for a 130M is 105C.

 

Thanks for your help Guys. So I don't have worry abt the GPU temp until it reaches to 105C. Then COD:MW will be the first Game I love to play on my laptop.

 

As EIement and I found out, that 105C is for the desktop card. I would imagine that being in a notebook they would increase that temperature, but I've been wrong before.

 

As has already been said, don't worry too much. My GTX 260M goes to 96C after five minutes of Furmark, but "only" 92-93C after an hour of Crysis. And it's overclocked...

 

wow 90's during gaming is quite hot im in the 80's....but my gpu is also weaker...ati runs cooler!!

 

also try out different drivers if you haven't already

 

lol what are you talking about.ati gpu's can go up to 135C.when it reaches 135C the catalyst center activates gpu recovery.

i have been using ati x1650 for 5 years.On games it is 105 110 C at stress test 128C.I ran the stress test for 5 hours gpu was always 128C but nothing happened,and no performance was lost.

now that i replaced the thermal paste and cleaned the card it has a max temp. of 84C and 54C on idle.I saw that there was a thick film like pvc on the graphics cards heatsink where contacts with gpu.I removed it and a new thermal paste...a lots of difference.

by the way i am talking about my desktop gpu however i think the desktop and laptop gpus are not that important.

 

sorry,i mean desktops and laptop gpus dont have a much difference

 

My GTX 260M has never gone passed 80C even after hours of gaming (GTA IV, Crysis, Arma 2) but furmark pushes it passed 90C.

 

Thanks for the infos .

 

If you have the guts you can do undervolting on the GPU.
Most of the time the GPU is overvolted.
