GTX 485M temperature?

A person online told me that he got x7200 with i7 980X and dual 485M. He mentioned that when playing crysis on all max settings, the temperature near the air vent reaches 100 degrees. I know that cannot be the heat from 980X, so it has to be the 485M SLI. How hot can these be? (honestly I think his cooling has problems, maybe he needs to reapply thermal paste)

 

Most likely he has cooling problems but those card are 100w ones meaning high amounts of heat. Chances are it is a mixture of overclocking, blocking the vents, not having sufficient paste and just the cards being hot.

 

Our test unit with the 485M SLI absolutely runs cooler than the 480M's in SLI. I have notice about 7c cooler during different benches and such...

 

Do you happen to have the temps for a single GPU?

 

It's normal for the temps near the air vents to get quite high. The system needs to handle a huge thermal budget (980X+485M SLI ~ 400W+ at load).
The important point is the inner components temperature, and here, as BabyHemi said, the temps are perfectly fine. In fact, those are ice cold for high end parts. This is one of the best (if not the very best) cooled notebooks in the world, IMHO. 60-70C was the max load temp on GPU's and 75-80C on CPU in our tests so far.

 

Hot air blasting out of the vents is a good thing.

Seems like it would only bother him if the machine is where it shouldn't be, on his lap.

 

Is that single 485M or sli?

 

Any info on a single card 485 on a 8150? Notebookcheck.de posted a re iew if the 8150 with the 485 and noted temps of 86-90.
Those high temps are whats holding me back frim ordering one

 

Well, I am honestly more amazed by the fact that he has the money to get two 485M lol

 

Both single and SLI configs (x7200).

 

would you mind telling me how many fps does he get when playing crysis on max?

 

..is crysis the only reason why you use computers?
I mean, every time I see you post you mention crysis lol

 

yeah for me i guess. i love crysis.

so ,friend, how many fps does he get?

 

100C? is the TDP of 485m similar to 480m? i only got 58 in mine (in SLI 68).

 

My 8150 was delivered today with the GTX485M --- temps maxed at 80 degrees in Furmark -- 1920x1080, 32x MSAA, Burning Mode ran the test for over 15 minutes.

Simply putting the machine on a laptop cooler (without even fans running) to give the vents a little more space dropped temps to about 75 degrees.

 

Wow thats great news. What are the ambient temps of your region?

 

Seriously, did anyone expect any different?

This is Clevo, not Asus.

 

The review from the german notebookcheck spooked me and a couple others when they reported 90c.

 

Maybe the demo units were not assembled properly, bad paste job on the GPU, it’s not like that is unheard of. As we get more people with actual production units it will become clear this in not a problem.

 

I can confirm. I get the same results as biffson. When I overclock the card I reach temps of 88-89. This is on a glass table without a cooler.

 

What are your ambient temp? so we have a point of reference. While 88-90 is up there, it is not near the 100 degrees C mark that would not be good.

 

SLi 485m in a x7200 chassis.
Ambient: 27 degrees Celsius.
Location of Laptop: Black Desk, Thick Wood

Idle: 50-ish
Load: 70-80 (80 max on one GPU (PhysX calcs im assuming), 5-7 degrees less on the other card) - After playing Crysis2 / Starcraft2 / STALKER CoP for over an hour.

 

Have a single 485m, on the NP8150. It undervolts automatically at times, resulted in better idle temps.



Idles at 38C~ and load was not more than 82C~. Ran Furmark, and the max temps was at 91C.

Overclocking from stock, the max temps was slightly higher but the performance gains were pretty good in contrast.
