Yes, S_h_a_r_k_93, and it allows you to detect if there is an abnormality, temperature, frequency, voltage, etc: useful, simply !



Are you sure that you have not sold vaseline instead of thermal paste? Bad product ...???

Follow me on Fb, YT and ModDB!
  

Exactly, when i said i'd recommend it i meant, just in general, to have on your PC. You don't even need to install, just a small standalone .exe.



Too funneh. 'vaseline'

Being a Shark he may not know the difference between Vaseline & Thermal Paste...

Ky Jelly works.. But just for the install doesn't last as long... but then the REAL heat problem comes back.

SORRY WRONG PLACE I thought I was making a remark to SW03_Carbon about his video card problems!!

KY Jelly wont work very well. Lol

AHAHAHAHAHAH @5tarLine Where the hell is your source for those? Who's the creator?
It cracks me up indeed! ahah


I already have CPU-Z actually, shows RAM usage too and I needed it for my last upgrade.

Fuck sakes I forgot to update y'all on something I found out recently and that is working wonders for my Laptop's heating! Basically what I found out - and didn't know or thought about it before - is that if you limit your framerate the GPU will actually be less stressed because (if it's a medium-high GPU) it will be able to have small breaks between one render and the other.

Basically all you need to do is to make sure your game video preferences are set in a way that the GPU has a lot of juice for you, right? My GPU if uncapped can (when not overheated) render from 100 to 140 frames per second. But this is all unworthy because my monitor has a frequency of 60 Hertz so it will able to refresh my screen on 60 times a second, thus showing me more or less 60 frames too.

So all the remaining frames are either discarded or partially shown on the screen, causing the so called screen tearing effect. This is not the worst part though, because if you don't cap your GPU it will work like a mad man trying to cook as much frames as possible, with no breaks, thus overheating. When overheated my GPU starts to lose some shots, even going less than 60 fps and you'll start noticing it on the screen!

So I have my BF2 set to medium/low standards, so my GPU can handle it fine. Now I have set a frame rate limit of 75 (through the video.con configuration file) and I have also enabled Vertical Synchronization (through the Nvidia Control Panel and set it as a global setting) and guess what: my Laptop now lasts several more hours without being so hot that it will make your hands uncomfortable!

The GPU is much less stressed because it knows it only has to deliver me more or less 60 frames (thanks to VSync) so it has all the time to relax in the mean time and avoid overheating. VSync actually plays a good part of the picture here because it can tame my GPU and sync it with my monitor. In order to prevent overheating there are also other tune-ups you can have in the Nvidia Control Panel such as the power profile of the GPU (I have set it to adaptive).

I am sorry I didn't share this before, I wanted to but I guess I forgot and it occurred to me now again.

If you were using a pc i would tell you to download MSI afterburner, it works on all video cards and lets you controll fan speed on chassis fan(s), GPU fan and CPU fan and also shows temp, watt, etc.


But since you are using a laptop my advice is - GET A PC !

I saw some nice fans to put underneath laptops on ebay, they were gel round the outside for heat transfer and two fans in the middle, and only around 15 euro's, lots of cheap fans like that from China.
There's also a usb one that hooks on the air outlet of the laptop and sucks the air out and so helps the gpu fan circulate more air.
p.s. DONT try water cooling on a laptop :-(

Water cooling, sounds fun!

Plan to check if the game actually does have built-in Vsyc? As far as I knew it didn't (you'd have to force it through eg. Nvidia Control Panel)
