Howdy!

So recently I've noticed my gtx 680m to be running pretty darn hot, 90c in fact. That temp was was reached by playing Watch Dogs so not stressed tested.

I took apart the laptop, took off the heatsink and re pasted the GPU with MX-4 paste. Just a pea size in the middle of the GPU.

However, i'm still reaching temps of 90c. Thats with a slight overlock. Stock clocks still reach around 80c+

Any idea on why my 680M is so hot? Laptop is around 5-6 months old.

Thanks.

Great driver imo. Saw performance gains in some games.

Core clock is what you want to focus on first. You can't just put it up straight to the max, do +100, test it, if it's stable, go up by +25 or something.

Howdy!

I'm Marcus from the UK. Came across this forum when I picked up my Clevo p370SM.

Love the site so far.

Been tempted to give Diablo 3 a try recently but watching videos and streams, i feel as there is no real point to the game. People just seem to farm the same stuff over and over again.

DxTory doesn't seem to hog performance too much.

Yeah, i think its just a really bad optimized game.

Mixture for me. Depends what kind of mood i'm in or what i'm doing at the time. Mostly listen to Rock or anything that has a decent beat/decent bass.

Shawshank Redemption. Great film.

I too have the same stutter problem with my gtx 680m. Will give that Hidden Graphics Options and go and see how that turns out.
