Temps on p170EM after hours gaming

Hey all, was just wondering what you all though about my temps after running skyrim for 6 hours on ultra settings.

 

Those are great temps. Some people have trouble idling at that. What are your ambient temps like?

 

those are fine. There is so much room to overclock it!!!!

 

those are some fantastic temps.
reassures me of my purchase for sure.

 

Also,

no notebook cooler being used. Just playing on a slate coffee table all night .

I'll post a pic of my temps. on idle/light use tomorrow
Also, I live in North Carolina and the house is 70-75F when I was gaming.



Additional info:

-The only thing that got warm to the touch was the power pack sitting on the carpet(not even close to being hot)
-I do have the IC Diamond repaste
-SSD drive makes less noise obviously
-Fan noise is is not a problem. Any kind of audio in the background/audio from game completely cancels the noise.
-Absolutely loving the matte screen especially earlier today when it was bright as s**** out today
-Thinking about buying a silent mouse since my mouse clicks are the loudest thing in the room when I'm using a headset.(If anyone could suggest something I'd really appreciate it)


Its been about 7 days since I got the laptop but I'll be doing a full review in another week or so since I wanted to not let my initial excitement interfere with the review

 

You dont regret getting thr 675m rather than the 7970m?

 

^^^^dude, he was barely willing to wait for the EM's. Of course he doesn't.

Now, with temps like those, I wonder how low you could go if you propped up the back and used fan turbo mode? Those temps are probably thanks to playing on such a flat, hard surface.

 

You know me too well haha. I did plan on getting a Coolmaster, but I'm not too quick to buy it now.

Also, the 675 seems too be way more than capable to handling anything I throw at it currently. After playing on ultra all night with not even a hiccup I feel happy and content

P.S. I'll be playing GW2 beta this weekend so I'll update on how the comp's performance/temp handles it

 

Awesome!! I really can't wait for my lappy to arrive now it's been on "Burn in & Test" status for 4 days now.

 

I'm so excited!!! I wish it didn't take so long to get it after ordering it. I got my Slappa MASK backpack and sleeve today in the mail, and it made me real impatient haha.

I don't know that I'll be doing an unboxing or review as there are probably plenty of those going around now. But it's going to be AWESOME.

 

Cant wait to get my hands on mine...
Its been delayed a few times now already .

BTW do fans on the P170EM pulse too?
And do they switch on/off constantly in idle as with the HM line?

EDIT: Good eye there pau1ow .

 

I've checked your SS and looks like there's something weird: the temps seems too low to me and that can be confirmed the Powers section: Maximum 11.09W - 5.03W - 1.55W. They should really be (for the 1st two) between 50 and 56W if the CPU has been (hardly) used...

Never played Skyrim but can't believe it doesn't use the CPU at all

You might re-do another 6hrs play with Ultra Settings with HWinfo in the background lol

 

That would be great as GW 2 performance is one of my main deciding factors in what laptop to get .

 

I don't know how accurate those temps are. I mean it looks like you played game, closed game and opened that up.

You need to have that opened while playing the game so it can record max temps.

The CPU wattage usage alone being that low tells us these are all idle temps

 

Ah right didnt notice the low power readings... those are definetely not the readings from max load temps then.
As it has been said above you have to keep hwinfo running in the background while playing to get the max temps.
Or try running Furmark + OCCT and post that .

 

After having skyrim up for several hours again

 

Are you opening HWmonitor only after gaming? Meaning you play skyrim for hours, exit skyrim, then try to open hwmonitor as fast as possible? If that is the case you have to open hwmonitor before playing a game and minimize it during gaming. Leave hwmonitor on for the duration of the test and don't turn it off.

Your cpu power and gpu voltage seems low for heavy usage.

 

That again is clearly not a screenshot of temps measured under any stress. The temps are too low, max power consumption is that of an idle system.
The 675M isnt even in there - your system already switched to the iGPU when you opened HWMonitor.
You need to have HWMonitor open in the background when gaming for it to record the temps during gameplay.

 

Say, is there really a noticeable difference in the colors between the matte screens and the glossy screens? Did you just get the regular matte screen or one with a color gamut?

 

HWmonitor was running in the background the whole time. I simply copied the image and pasted in the post. Perhaps skyrim just isn't that demanding of a game

 

well, it does run on dx9 lmao.

do you have a copy of BF3 or something? That's an incredibly demanding game and possibly give more accurate insight on this.

 

Or a copy of Crysis 2? Also very demanding (get DX11/high-resolution texture pack).

 

That looks too nice.

 

Are you sure you´ve set the power plan to high performance and not balanced or anything? Those temps looks too low.

 

These are my temps when I play Skyrim at max settings after 1 hour:

Your temps look so low

 

Probably have to get the temp capture extremely quickly, I know at least in my older D900F the CPU/GPU would cool off by about 60% almost instantly after a game was stopped.

 

is your lappy pasted with IC7 diamond?

 

Arctic Silver 5. But they're similar I guess. And I have only applied it on my CPU.

 

Skyrim IS demanding. Those temps and power figures arent right. Reviews are already up on notebookcheck, the cooling on these EM machines looks the same as on the HM series. No laptop has THAT god cooling to run so cool under load.
I dont know what youre doing but youre doing it wrong.

 

Perhaps it's using the Intel integrated GPU? It is rather suspicious. (or very cold ambient temp actually, since chassis is 31)

 

Or maybe he's playing in a walk in freezer?

 

Having it set to balanced wouldn't make a difference. The balanced profile would increase to high performance levels when needed. The high performance profile is usually a waste of energy and unnecessary heat compared to the balanced profile.

 

Hmmm... how's that matte screen faring for you? Are the colors not as vibrant as everyone says D:

although i don't game outdoors, it would still be nice to have the option and still be able to have rich colors.

Have you owned a glossy screen laptop before? How do the colors compare with the matte screen on the Clevo?

 

Its almost the same for both. Difference is - you dont see your reflected image when your room is brighter. And this is good. I moved from a low-quality glossy (on Acer 5742g) to this and Im never going back to glossy.

 

So it's actually a decent high-quality matte screen? cool. i always thought matte screens were a little washed out

 

HELP PLEASE!
Okay so Im having some issues with my 9170.
I have the 675m with the new Ivey Bridge. However my temps are fairly high with arctic silver 5. It stabilizes around 86 celsius while playing diablo 3 but I have seen it as high as 92. How can the guy with the original post be playing Skyrim at 65? When I play Fallout 3, my computer has frozen many times to the point where I must manually power it off. When I play Diablo 3 my graphics seem to stutter ALL THE TIME. Nothing but starcraft 2 runs perfectly smoothly. I have the latest driver installed. Also when mmy laptop is unplugged from the wall all games run slow. I understand this is to save power but my main concern is my overheating and my graphics. Why is it having a hard time running Diablo 3? CAN ANYONE HELP? Is no one else having these issues?

 

What is the best program to monitor temps with? HW Monitor? I have a new np9130 with a m670 playing skyrim at ultra and noticed it was a little warm after playing for a couple of hours. Room temp is around 70-72 degrees. Once I record the temps I'll post them here to see how they compare to what is already been posted.

Also I went from Dell XPS m1530 with a very good gloss screen and they sit side by side now and the colors of the matte 95% gamut screen blows it out of the water.

 

I'm having almost the same issue, what I did was limit every single game's FPS to either 60 or 30. Games are pretty much around 76-80C this way. In Diablo III you can do that in the option menu. I notice the GTX 675M throttles like every 3-5 sec when running Furmark, maybe driver issue as there isn't a real driver yet (Looking at you nvidia). The temperature OP posted is only the gaming temperature, if you stress test using Furmark it'll shoot all the way up I'm sure.

 

Any chance that someone could toss me a link to their favourite fan monitoring/temp monitoring program? Rainmeter support would probably be a plus. I haven't done a temp test with Diablo but I will do one tomorrow and post it.

 

I'm assuming you've tried all the basics: make sure you're plugged in and on high performance mode. 86 is OK for gaming temps, but you could try cleaning your fans, propping up the back and gaming on a hard, flat surface. You may need to turn down D3 graphics, what settings are you using? Also, did you apply the AS5 yourself? Oh, and if you could give your FPS instaid of "stutters all the time" and Perfectly smoothly" that would help.

 

After 4 Hours of playing ultra settings of Skyrim

Room temp was about 70 degrees on flat table surface.

Np9130 with m670 and ssd. Didn't even notice the fan noise no overclocking and stock paste. Plenty of room for overclocking and IC diamond paste.

I'll post FPS when I put the command in while playing.

 

That looks perfect for a GTX 670M

 

So the 670m runs significantly colder than the 675m?

Looks like I am either waiting for 7970m or just OC'ing the 670m 20% to get 675m performance...

 

Kinda ironic how your insanely low temps compare to your username

 

Won't overclocking the m670 to 20% gain of m675 just raise your temps higher then a m675 would?

 

I'm saying raise it to the performance of a 675m, not higher; as in raise the 670m 20% above stock so that it runs about as fast as a 675m at stock; which would probably make it run around the same speed as the 675m considering at stock the 670m only hits about 70c and the 675m hits about 80-85c so it has potential to OC to 675m levels without getting hotter than a 675m... I've decided to wait it out for the 7970m though considering the news of the BIOS on clevo's not being updates to support new cards so I will need a card that is future proof [7970m].
