    Hi.

    Since i bought this Asus G2s notebook i felt something was strange in it.
    After some time, the framerates would get lower. I made some research and discovered that my GPU has an Overheat Issue.
    I talked with Asus and they said that they wouldn't ship internationally ( To Brazil ) but only to US and Canada.
    So, RMA option is ruled out.

    I thought that maybe forcing the FAN to 90% and 100% would be a good idea, but i don't have this option on Rivatuner. ( I also tried EVGA Precision and ATI TOOL)
    What can i do? What are my Options, Besides RMA? When it is normal, it is around 65-70. When it is under-load, its like 110-120.
    Does applying new Thermal Paste to it, helps? Please, if you know anything that could help, don't hesitate for a second :)

    And i noticed that Asus didn't update the VGA Driver for like a Year.
    So i was wondering, what is the best suitable driver version for my card?


    PS :( Is there a way to force FAN to go Faster? )

    Below goes my INFO:

    Thanks,
