    Hi, I have an Multicom Kunshan P177SM which is pretty much Clevo P177SM laptop, so I hope you don't mind that I posted it in this thread. So I had this laptop for a few weeks now, I bought it used and the problem is that it has high temperatures. First when I got the laptop, the GPU was always sitting on 93c., CPU around 94c., changed the thermal paste to CoolerMaster IC1 Value, nothing's changed. Bought Gelid GC Extreme and with lift up back, the GPU sits around 75-85c, sometimes gets a bit higher, the CPU around 70-80c. even when not fully utilized (about 50-70% in GTA V). The dust are cleaned off and I'm thinking to do the aluminium tape mod. Should I be worried about this temps or are they normal?

    Specs :

    CPU : i7-4700QM
    RAM : 8GB (planned upgrade to 16GB)
    Storage : 1TB HDD + 256GB SSD
    GPU : GTX 780M (planned upgrade to GTX 970M, as I seen they're around the same price as GTX 780M and has lower TDP and better performance)

    Thanks in advance.

    On the higher side GPU wise, normal CPU wise.

    Run CB20 for your CPU and Firestrike/TimeSpy for your GPU to set a baseline for your temps with hwmonitor and post a pic.

    I guess I worried a bit too much and actually I was a bit surprised by these results.

    Actually I did a bit more GTA V testing, played it for about 20 minutes and watched the temps all the time with MSI Afterburner overlay, I guess this isn't much to go by but still.

    GPU - https://i.imgur.com/h62o0HD.png (GPU at first stayed around 75-76 c., then it raised up a bit and stayed at around 77-78 c.)
    CPU - https://i.imgur.com/HDXblr9.png (CPU pretty much always averaged about 80-81 c.)
