    Hey,

    Ive had my Clevo P150hm for a couple of months and now it has started overheating when playing games.

    The average GPU temp seems to be 97-98c which seems quite hot to me. Occasionally it gets upto 102c.

    Does anyone know what the max temperature is for P150hm with a 6970 GPU?

    I have done all the usual ds-dusting but there wasnt anything really to de-dust as its only just 2 months old.

    I'm wondering if it might be worth RMA-ing?

    Thanks for any tips! :)

    what is your room temps on average.
    what paste did they use for the gpu.
    do you hear your fans speeding up and slowing down.

    this is a 2 year old post for older clevos but it gives an idea

    I'd not let anything get past 95c myself, although they are specced for 100c from what I understand.

    I'd get that resolved ASAP.
