I need to underclock my GTX780M on my Clevo P170SM, its running fine when on full clocks, but when temps go up (93c), the clocks go way down. I tried to edit my bios backup, but Kepler Bios Tweaker does not support mobile gpu´s? So the some of the pci ID stuff get screwed up, as it thinks it for desktop gpu, so some stuff get removed from the final rom file? Anyone know how to edit a kepler bios for mobile versions? I suck at HEX, so I need some kind of app preferably?

Those are normal temps for laptops... You cant compare laptops with desktops. I have a Clevo P170sm, the 780m easily goes up to 80-90c, i have set 90 as max temp for gpu. My 4700mq idles at 35-37 and tops at 80-85c, im using a zalman laptop cooler. So as long as the temps dont go over 100c youre fine. Buy a descent cooler, they do help, another thing besides changing paste, is to make the holes under the laptop where the fans draw in the air, make them bigger so more air gets in? I was thinking about doing that my self, my intakes are both on the part you can take loose, so just take some kind of tool and scratch, or some kind of sandpaper? Or even remove them, but thats not the greatest idea as it propably breaks warrant (im not sure), but also dust, and other crap will have a big hole to find in through. So its a risky move, but with I think huge benefits? But, i was also wondering if its hard to change the past on laptops, i havent done that before, i have only used desktops before this laptop so im a noob when it comes to mobile systems... Any advice is appreciated. But to OP, im very sensitive to high temps as well, my PCH idles at 65-75 and sometiimes at 90c at load or more. But according to the support guy at where i bought the computer, he says its normal and all these parts have a 100-105c max usage temps...I dont like it either, but at the same time, why buy this expensive laptop, if im afraid to use it for gaming at 100%?? I understand that one is afraid it will burn, but thats what you have warranty for. And most have atleast here in sweden, 2 year factory warranty? So my advice is, stop using msi afterburner or whatever temp soft you are using, i have, and its much more fun to use it now, i just ignore it. I wont downclock my hardware for lower temps, other than changing the turbo ratio, and the lowering the max non turbo clock from 2.4ghz to 2.0ghz. But turbo clocks are the same... EDIT: Im going to test to remove the "hatch" under the laptop which has the cpu/msata/gpu/ram slots, and see if my temps improve without it on, if i do, I will report back with my findings. And if the temps are much lower, I will either cut "fan filters" off, remove them all, or just make the air holes larger somehow? Ill be back!
