    Hi, I have this note for 1 year+, few days ago some of my games started to lag, the behaviour looks a lot like heating issues(it lags, but if I pause or alt+tab for a while, than when I go back it doesnt lag anymore, things like that)

    So I let my HWMonitor open, and surprisingly, its not my GPU, my GPU keeps its 80-90 temperature, but my tzs0 and tzs1(not a clue what are those) are getting 100+ degrees, I really dont remember those being more hot than my GPU...

    So I just downloaded the Prime95 to confirm that the heating is due cpu stressing, and indeed the temps start getting hight on tzs0 and tsz1 really fast, running for a few meanutes it got stable at 96-98 degrees, tzs0 is a few more hot...They both are hotter than my CPU cores( the cores keep at 77-88)...

    Why a so sudden heating issue? Im afraid a fan can be malfunctioning, but I never get to check fans with any program( speedFan and everest doesnt show fan info...)

    Im on a win7 64. I recently installed sp1, with made my pc a , it got very slow, I restored and now its ok again...I dont think it may be the problem, but in case...

    I never opened my notebook, and Im a ridiculous fagg scared of doing such a thing, Id probaly destroy everything, or never get it to work again without knowing the reason ._.

    Today I opened the openable parts at the bottom, and it seems fine, its not full of dust (I can see memory and HDDs, not sure what components are to the left of the mems)..

    Damn this is worring me....

    It would be super nice if someone with the same notebook, as old or older than mine report its temperature behaviours =D...I dont know what to do..

    Read this http://forum.notebookreview.com/gat...embly-guide-covers-all-17in-fx-notebooks.html

    These laptops are pretty easy to take apart if you follow that guide, just have patience. I recommend downloading the pdf version and look at instructions from another computer or just print it out.

    It could be a simple dusting issue, if you decide to blast compressed air in it then I strongly recommend you take it apart ahead of time. If you have too much dust piled up and you blast compressed air through the vents then some of that dust might get inside the fans which will pretty much screw them up.

    Also you may want to consider getting a notebook cooler once you've dusted your machine. I strongly recommend the CF-19 storm cooler from cooler master
