    Hello guys
    I have a BIG problem !
    I have send a mail to the Asus Service, i asked if the temperatures in my G1S are normal (My GPU is like 93°C under full load)

    They answered me:
    Helaas zijn deze tempraturen veel te hoog voor uw notebook.
    de maximale tempraturen die u notebook kan verdragen zijn gemiddeld 70°C tot 75°C ik adviseer u daarom uw notebook aan te melden voor reparatie via www.asus.nl.

    met vriendelijke groet
    Asus holland b.v

    Translated:
    Unfortunately these temperatures are much too high for your notebook.
    the maximum temperature which your notebook can endure are average 70°C to 75°C. I recommend you for this reason your presenting notebook for repairing by means of www.asus.nl.

    So just send it in for repairs that is much to high for a processor to run at.

    My processor has a normal temperature (40°C) and while gaming maybe maximum 70°C.


    It's my GPU (8600M GT GDDR3) that gets so hot

    OOPs sorry. well good thing your processor does not run at those temps. Well I have heard that the 8600GT GDDR3 does get hot on nearly everything it is on but I think those temps are 20 degrees above usual so I would still send it in if the guy told you so.

    Send it or repairs. There must be something that`s now properly conducting the heat outside of the chasis. Also, since it`s in warranty, send it right away, might be a faulty GPU.
    You aren`t OCing, are you? if you are, GO TO DEFAULT SETTINGS before sending the laptop back. If you have not tampered with the settings,just check the vents for dust,and also, keep the laptop on a solid surface at all time when gaming.(like a table , etc)

    Yeah i think it's an error of the temp software,with 93 degrees you can't touch the notebook without burn yourself...

    Consider that 100 degrees is the boiling point of water = you should have your skin surface burned...so for me the temp is wrong.
    Try another software or view the temp from bios

    Seconded. Temperature gauge for the laptop may be borked, getting the second opinion might help.

    Odd, my GPU can go up to 90 degrees while gaming also, but then the fans kick in to bring it down. Usually sticking within the 80s though.

    Not exactly: he is not touching the ground system (cooper plate or whatever it is). And while this system is connected to the laptop chasis, it is of some kind of plastic (insulator), so heat will not transfer so fast. But if he is touching chasis part where the copper plate is connected.... then you may be right.

    Now, I am not sure if the temperature is wrong, but even the company says it should be lower, he should take advantage of the warranty before it's too late.
