direelite1134 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I have a gtx 460m(in a ASUS G73sw-A1) and according to a desktop gadget its been running super hot lately, like 80-93 degrees celsius, within 10 minutes of any game(portal 2, minecraft, even a gamecube emulator),and just dual monitoring with netflix takes me up to 80c with out anything else going on my computer . And I used to be able to run skyrim for hours and never go above 80 degrees. Could this be my drivers? Or a hardware issue? Or maybe just fan blockage? It doesn't make any sense that it would get this hot lately. Is there some common reasons I could check? Or a better place to ask this question? when i dual monitor it seems to go up 10 degrees even at idle, is that something I should see? Both monitors are 1920x1080.

samadchaz Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 you should give your laptop for checkup to see if its fan actually running or not, sounds like a fan fail issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFourthHorse Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 This will tell you what your fans are doing. It could be a fan failure or it could be dust build up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
direelite1134 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 you should give your laptop for checkup to see if its fan actually running or not, sounds like a fan fail issue Well I can hear both running, but I don't know at % capacity. Do you mean like taking it to where i got it/ manufacturer to check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recommend opening it up yourself unless you know allot about laptops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I have a 2 year warranty for malfunctions, but if its just dust i don't want to send it off for 2 weeks, that seems excessive, but I do need them to fix my V key that fell of the week after i bought it.I'm gonna check that link now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

direelite1134 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) Most warranties I know of are void if you break the seal and open it up. Its up to you. Yeah I'm gonna wait and check out my options more. On the CPUID where does it say fan speed? I only see temperatures.

TheFourthHorse Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Damn my desktop and my sisters laptop show fan speeds. I dont know man either your computer has no way of monitoring them (which is weird) or something is wrong... I just dont know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know man either your computer has no way of monitoring them (which is weird) or something is wrong... I just dont know. Yeah, I just don't think it has the monitors, cause the desktop gadget I used couldn't find fanspeed either. Not helpful at all for me lol. I'm think I'm just gonna start the process to send it in. Hopefully they don't come up with some excuse as to why it can't be warrantied, my accidental year warranty ran out about the 15th of May so that would just suck. also is it normal for the gpu to be so much hotter than the cpu? In that pic at idle (though dual monitoring) its a good 20 degrees hotter. Edited June 2, 2012 by direelite1134 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
