Pollux 1613 Black/ P150sm with 780m,, normal temperatures?

Hi,

I recently purchased the pollux 1613 black which has the p150m chassis. Temperatures peak at 93-94 degrees celcius when running 3dmark 2013. I haven't logged whether the GPU actually throttles yet but my firestrike standard scores are around 5700. Are these temperatures normal? I've read about people overclocking the 780m and their peak temperatures are in the mid 70 degrees celcius. As it stands i would have no headroom in the future if I want to overclock.

What can i do to lower the temperature? I have a coolermaster laptop cooler, but they have done nothing to help the temperatures. When gaming skyrim, everything still peaks at 93 degrees celcius. I've read people repasting and lowering their temperatures but i've also read some people saying it doesn't help.

Any input would go a long way!

Thanks

Repasting hasn't helped me so far. I get temps to 91C at stock. I'm going to try again.

 

i actually added springs into the Heatsink which helped it seemed first time i was maxing at 80 then after some days 85, i just played for 1hour Planetside 2 with stock clocks and was maxing @ 90 °C so even if it helped at first it doesn't make a difference, too bad actually i tested my 780M with unlocked bios and got to about 1033/3000 with cooler blowing directly onto the card (back of course opened)

 

I get the same temps from a p177sm hopefully my phoyba nano grease will arrive tomorrow so I can test a repaste

 

Like I've said in previous threads, these cards hit 90 degrees and there isn't much we can do about it. Repasting may help a little. I'm not sure you'd notice that much difference with different pastes etc...

 

I See. I'm just curious why/ how some people reported much lower temperatures after a repaste and some don't. .. It's a little mind boggling. Are they heavily modding the laptops? people are posting overclocks to 1ghz and over volting, how are they doing it with temps in the 70s?!

 

My latest repaste brought temp at stock clocks down to 89C. It boggles my mind how they are able to run the 780M so cool.
