    Could I benefit from a repaste, 7970m with NP9170?

    I am getting around 78-81 at 99% GPU usage in Furmark and Kombuster. Are the temps are as good I will likely get, could a repaste help with these temperatures?

    I have already done the foil mod, just seeing if I could bring my temps down to around 70.

    78 to 81 is really good, no need to repaste

    Those are good temps, even if it gets higher than that I would look at cleaning the vents from dust before repasting

    For Furmark and Kombuster those are great temps. Even if you were gaming i'd be really happy with those temps.
