Help with TZS0 spiking at 98C

When playing games this TZS0 spikes to 98c and my fps goes to crap, how do I fix this.

 

Are you serious?

 

Check if its the gpu or cpu causing the TZ overheat

 

friendly advise: use the search feature.
its well chewed spat and re digested issue.

bottom line: uv with rmclock, don't oc gpu (better still find the best clocks for your card)

 

Well i dont think its heat issue, its faulty reading data. And undervolting the CPU doesn't help.

 

well some that have tried (did you?) report differently.

 

LOL!!! i love how YOU were the first one to post on this thread too...

 

All other temps are fine, I alt tabbed out of game and caught it during the spike when my fps dropped, it red 98c for a few sec on TZS0.

 

I've seen momentary spikes that do not appear to have an effect when not overclocking. I've seen spikes that have a noticeable effect when overclocking.

 

Yes I am not overclocked, it occurs when playing WoW for lets say about 2 hours straight plus, but it does effect my computer. SO I guess undervolting using RMclock is my only choice, If I send it back to Gateway can they fix it?

 

I don't know if they can fix it. But there are plenty of people who don't have the problem, so they can replace the motherboard. Out of curiosity, what are the first four digits of you laptop serial numbers? Someone suggested this may only be a problem in the P2888 line, although I have seen at least one person and possibly another with P6000 series laptops report TZS0 spikes.

 

Yes it is a p2888

 

its a flaw in the hardware as far as i know so not sure anyone can fix it sadly . The 2887s seemed to have a thicker heatsink which may have helped slow down the process as with my 7811 i only had it happen with a massive overclock and playing crysis on of the more demanding levels. For wow though what you can do is cap your framerate that way its not going to 100s of frames per second which will generate more heat or turn on vsync . You should be able to google capping Wow framerate command and find something on it as i have read others using notebooks do this to generate less heat.

 

the only time i saw it on my p-6831 spikes was while playing crysis [email protected]
gpu wasnt oc at that time. and the laptop was next to catching fire (those d4mn aliens...)

 

The assumption is that TZS0 is a sensor within the northbridge, in which case there really is nothing we can do. There are two different heatsinks used in the 7811 and they are NOT serial number specific. The heatsink on both my 2887 and 2888 models were the same, but they were different than the heatsink on E-W's 2887.

 

i had a 2887 model and a 2888 just recently and the newer 2888 one was quite abit thinner then my former which may or may not be the cause, more just speculation as who is to say what the real cause of the spike is.

 

Oh! I just figured out why TZS0 is spiking with no good reason!

 

I have the 2887 model, with the same CPU cooler E-wrecked had. The reason why i think its faulty reading data is, I was playing Legendary game. I paused the game and ALT+TAB'ed out to desktop, just to surf on web. Temperatures droped (i always run HWMonitor). Laptop idled like that for an hour, then switched to a game, started plying-and in 2 sec the frames went totally down- was lagging like ****. Immediately tab'ed out agin. HWMonitor showed 98C on MAX TZS0 reading. Its impossible to go to 98C like 2 sec and then cool down to 53 C. And other times i can play COD4 for hours and not have heating issue and a frame drop because of that. So that TZS0 spiking isn't an heat issue. Its something else. At least for my laptop. Maybe some models have that issue because of exessive heat. Dunno.

 

Yay free posts for a thread on a subject BEATEN TO DEATH!

 

It's better safe than sorry You know those *******s tend to resurect at the end of horror movie, just trying to kill that cliche

 

i just undervolted my x7800 to 1.1750v and max temps dropped from 100C to 80C, this is for TZS0/1 not for CPU max

EDIT: 1.1750 isnt stable for me; 1.1875 is, max temps are 86/87 TZS 0/1

 

took it apart last night and cleaned all the dust from the GPU and CPU fans/heatsinks

why didnt they make the GPU fan more accessible its so hard to get to it

anyways idles 15 degrees lower now
