    Hey guys I have a 780m GTX and the temps after a few minutes of anything like games or benchmarks is above 90 degrees. I have tried new thermal paste. But I think the issue is the heatsink, The reason why is because the air coming out the back is much cooler than the temps recorded. So I am assuming bad thermal conductivity. Had anyone got any Idea's what to do? I still have warranty. and my laptop is the Clevo P170SM

    Thanks

    Air coming out still hot? It won't be the full temp, sounds very fish, maybe your heatsink is bent? your thermal pads replaced as well?

    See if they can send you a new heat sink under warranty.

    That's what I was thinking, When I open it up the Pipes are just warm. Is it possible that it has something to do with the card? Would they send me a new one you reckon?
