    As the title says, I've been worried about the temps that the 780m has been spewing out. It would reach as high as 93-95C under full load. Once it reaches this point, the performance is heavily throttled. I was wondering if this should be a concerning matter, and if so, are there any effective ways to cool it down?

    I'm currently using the Clevo P157SM model.

    That is a concerning matter. Have you cleaned out your fans at all? If they're clogged with dust your cooling will go out the window.

    Woaahh. That's like the first issue I've ever heard with 780M temperatures. Have you tried repasting?

    Repast and clean the vents. Don't even post without making sure those two conditions are fulfilled :thumbsup: . Take IC7 if you want good results

    If you remove it and the paste looks normal you could try submerging one side of the heatsink in hot water and check the heatpipes are working properly.
