Whats a safe temp?

I tend to play a lot of Skyrim with a lot of mods on my Asus G75vx with the 670mx and a mod vbios. I am just wondering what a safe temp is if I play for a few hours at a time? My 670mx tends to top out at 75c and fluctuates between low 60's and mid 70's when gaming. My voltage is 1.05v at 1k core and 2400 memory though I can set a higher voltage I don't see a need to. Asic is only 72 if that makes a difference. By the way this card is a little beast and I am glad I never waited and got the version with the 765m in it.

 

perfect temps you got there.
start worrying when it goes above 90c which means it needs a clean out of fans and vents with compressed air.

 

Low 60s is actually pretty cool. Asus gaming rigs are known to have very good cooling systems.

 

Good temps you got there! As mention, anything around 90 Degrees is quite unsafe as you are pushing it to the limits.

 

I tend to get slightly higher temps on full load on my 675mx, so I believe you'll be fine like the others have said.

I must admit, I really love the 2 MX chips. Looking back at the recent history of Nvidia mobile cards, I would personally rank them in top 5 of performance to value chips for at least the past 4 generations. Great pieces of silicon imho.

 

Under 60 = not a laptop!
Under 70 = amazing!
Under 80 = great!
Under 90 = good!
Over 90 = bad!
Over 92 = really bad!
Over 95 = thermonuclear meltdown!
Over 100 = RUN!!!

 

thanks for the replies. I can get 6k on 3dmark11 and 4k on fire strike could go higher but I'm not a pro like some of you.I actually have the second high score on fire strike extreme for single 670mx had high score for 2 weeks lol. I can't take credit for the modded vbios though some one actually took the time to walk through it with me and made sure I never messed anything up. Too sum up am very happy with this card and for $1250 and an ssd later have a great computer.

 

Wow! That's a really good score on your end! I could only achieve 5.4k on 3dmark 11 and 3.1k on fire strike on the Y510p with the heat management issues holding it back. I will suggest try to push it a little abit more and leave your legacy on 3Dmark. :thumbsup:

 

When the computer doesn`t shut down

 

the guy that made the bios can push his core clock to 1300 MHz and I can't compete with that. I know I can go a bit higher and probably will in time but for right now I'm content. I usually only buy new laptop every 4-5 yrs so don't wanna push it since its my only computer.

 

1300 MHz core on a 670MX?!? That's a 117% OC.

I think a 680M, maybe even a 780M, would have a hard time touching that.

I know 670MX and 675MX are beast overclockers but that is just something else. Absolutely freakin' nuts.

 

Wise decision man, 1k core is more than enough if you dont push the graphics too high..

 

He has my base clocks at 797 MHz core and 2005 MHz memory and my memory is at 96.6 GB/s but after oc my memory bandwidth is 115.4 GB/s. I wonder with the mods if that might not have more of an effect than the 1k core.

 

I do think he modded his cooling to so I doubt many 670mx can touch that.

 

Damn I am hitting 97 degrees when gaming (BF4)...

I am on stock clocks (flashed to SVL7's vbios) on my 770m. I have repasted a few times, new thermal pads, but still cannot reign that temperature down any further! Idle temperature is at 40 degrees. Have even tried a very slight downclock of gpu / memory clock, but no difference in heat.

Note, I have no issues when playing games, no shutdown or slow downs, just this mini oven on my GPU!

 

Anything you could do to help get it more air? Laptop cooler, tilt it up higher or check for dust?

 

That's very strange as I was under the impression that Alienware's had the best cooling in town. Hmmm... which thermal paste are you using? And what method of spreading?

 

I'm sorry to hear that my 780Ms run in the 70 to 75s while at full load while overclocked to the clocks of a 690 (I plan to run 3 displays 5760x1080 so I have to match a card that can) they run in the 60s stock....the 770M runs really hot while overclocked its not your fault my brothers ex Asus did 90s too with a 770M at clocks like yours while playing Diablo III and would thermal shutdown at them too did you try speeding the fans up with hwinfo64 yet?
