M1330 gpu reaching 104C with slight OC?

Well i have not done the copper mod yet,but what i wanna know it will copper mod prevent the overheating and throttling back of clocks.Plz reply.BTW can u tell me where to buy copper in ebay.com.I want it from us "only"
Thanks!

 

104C is not good. It's one of the nvidia gpu's with the bad solder bumps, so you really need to be careful there.

I had to search it, but that mod may help you a little with temps. 104 seems really high to me though, are you vents all cleaned out?

 

Yes all my vents are clear,i hav even cleaned the exhaust fins+fan blades.
Also poured a drop of machine oil on fan bearing.(n hav noticed a 200rpm increase in fan speeds)
My stock clock load temp are 96C,but with an overclock i reach throttling point within 10mins

 

BTW thanks for a prompt reply.

 

My 6100 runs around 100C at stock clocks, although I'm going to have to reflow it later this week. I do know someone on NBR modded their M1330 to increase cooling, heres the link if your interested.

Well thnx nikeseve
thats what i m talkin abt(my question is abt copper mod)

 

Fixing the heat sink will lower temperatures, but I my first advice would be to stop the overclock, atleast until you fix it. I've been looking for copper or aluminum and can't find something that would do the job. I heard that a penny could do the job but even after cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol I would be kinda weary of using it.

 

Well thnx for a humble advice.I have stopped overclocking ,but still my average temps are 68-72C(surfing,listening to music).The thing is i need a copper piece from ebay usa only.One seller has it with thermal paste ,but he's not disclosing its thickness.(he seems to b too feared of others copying his specs)

 

n i m feared of getting a wrong piece from usa coz i cant ship it back( i live in india)

 

My Geforce go 7900GS used to throttle at 92C... I guess tolerances have increased these days?

 

Yes indeed.But still 104C is damm high.Its bp of water dude,thats pretty high.

 

To be honest, 104 C of any component is too high. I'd be worried if any component was constantly running at above like 70 C. My laptop, the Dell Studio XPS 16, is considered hot, and it runs 50 C usually.

 

Well M1330 has overheating problems to begin with due to the infamous Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS. Dell has "fixed" the issue on these by making the GPU throttle. Good Luck

 

Wow, that's hot. And that's with your vents clean? Was it always that hot? I would first stop OC. Then try to get temps down by undervolting, copper modding like you said, maybe changing thermal paste if you haven't already.

 

Yes my vents are clear,i was a bit nooby when i got this lappy.So i didnt stress and u know didnt find the temps,but now as my knowledge grew a bit(from dis techy site),i began monitoring temps and stressing cpu,gpu n stuff like that.Is there any method to undervolt gpu(as i had success uv my cpu-12C load temp drop),i dont hav thermal past now,but will get it+copper SOON

 

firstly , the M1330 is always hot due to the 8400M GS being a faulty series GPU so OCing is suicidical.. so if u get 104C, u should really be worried..do a copper mod before ocing..

 

thnx for the advices

 

Agreed with all the other posters, I have a laptop using one of the faulty nVidia GPUs - I always run mine UNDERCLOCKED with powerstrip as I don't play games with my laptop and just use it for business 2d use.

That being said, I think my GPU is still on the verge of failing - it is now starting to randomly corrupt and the screen flashes like a strobe while corrupt, however it goes away by itself in about 5 seconds. A reboot seems to fix the issue though? However it is not driver related as I've stuck with the same ISV certified driver for at least a year with no other changes in hardware (see sig).

Does anyone know what symptoms show when the GPU starts failing? I thought it would be sudden failure that would result in permanently disabled or corrupted graphics that a restart would not solve?

 

People have had different experiences with it, some have network troubles when the solder starts to fail, others just have a complete failure such that it doesn't even boot.

 

Network problems of all things? Wow..
