    Hi I am using a Fx-7811. I upgraded to 2 320gb 7200 rpm Seagate newest version in Raid0. I use my laptop on my chest a lot. I upgraded to 195.62 drivers
    on Windows 7 64bit. Then things got hot! Not the graphics card it stayed around 50c. It was the hard drives and further back near the battery area. I had 186.81 on before and I just put that back on. It is all good and not hot now. I did not think it was the 195.62 drivers at 1st because I just fixed a sound card problem with Powermizer Switch.

    "I use my laptop on my chest a lot." :err:

    Wow, you must have a goose neck.


    Do you have complete Hw monitor temps from before your upgraded drivers?
    Post them here and show the new temps as well.

    I have ran both sets of drivers and have not noticed any increase nor decrease in gpu temps at all just as a heads up. I upgraded my drivers to the most recent 2 nights ago and my temps haven't changed at all.

    Temperature 0 40°C (104°F) [0x3C] (Core #0)
    Temperature 1 33°C (91°F) [0x43] (Core #1)

    It is definitely hotter with 195.62 idling at 50C, compared to DOX 185.85 and NVIDIA 186.82 idling at 40-44C.

    Which laptop are you using? 105 is not safe for most computer components so prop your laptop up, clean it out with compressed air and or buy a cooler...

    7805u, I did clean it out, fan is working fine. I have 4 80mm fans running under the lappy and it holds it at 92C.

    Didnt have this prob with Dox 185.85, maybe i should go back. It used to run < 90 without the extra cooling. What drivers r u guys using?

    Ok, I decided to go back to Gateways Nvidia drivers, and still had the heating issue. I noticed that that my GPU fan was running at the same speed, even when I start up a game, the temps go up, but fans don't, just sits there chilling at a low speed.

    I turned off the comp, and blew in the vent, turned the pc back on, and it works now... While gaming it keeps the temps below 80C.
    Weird, when I start a game now, the fan speed goes up as it should.
