hans123 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The gtx 880m gets very hot under load. Your temperatures are a high but not critical. I would repaste your gpu. do you use a 100w heatsink for the gtx 880m in your aw 18? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisx24ro Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 yes i have 100w heatsink, i repaste it and have max 86c, is normal for this card to have 86c? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hans123 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 86c is totally normal for this card. The gtx 880m is known for running very hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisx24ro Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 heatsink is from GTX 580M, my friend have GTX 680M and max temp on high use is 75c, is a option to make this card to have max 80c? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hans123 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Probably the Heatsink is old and faulty. Another option is repasting the gtx 880m or downclock it a little bit. Also you can use Fan control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisx24ro Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 who to downclock it a little bit and what software to use for fan control.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jafil Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) I would say that's a bit high, mine M18x R1 880m SLI was hitting 82 with the 580ms heatsinks. I've done another repaste, and it's around 75-77 nowadays. Edited January 17, 2016 by Jafil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Rosenberg Lenda Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Have you remembered to cover these areas shown in my pics, i used some copper ram heatsinks 22x8x5mm and attached em to the heatsink with Arctic Alumina Thermal Adhesive.

killerii Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) to control your fans use this http://www.hwinfo.com/download64.html its pretty simple to use install it and get to this page and click on the sensors button then on the next screen click the small fan icon at the bottom unless you want to manually adjust your fan between each time you play click customer auto and you can edit it from there as for your underclocking download and install NV tools http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia-system-tools-6.08-driver.html on the left hand side, under the performance tab, select device settings now just slide it back until you are comfortable with the temps aim for about 70-75*C hope this helps you a bit. PS avoid EVGA's tuning tool on alienware i have heard it can brick your LCD! This is just a smaller version of my main post have a read if you like Edited February 9, 2016 by killerii had to warn about potential issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
