Sniegu Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hi its my first Clevo laptop i had move from AW 17 to Clevo 17.3 P375SM-A with Dual GTX 880M SLI i7 4940 . I bought this from ebay iam second owner . Laptop looks much better in real. My queston's are about temps when gaming .My Cpu reach 90-94 celcius with coolmaster U3 and GPU's about 85 celcius in my opinion this is too high. In my AW 17 i have 4910MQ with GTX 780M and temp's are about 75 when gaming. Can some1 who have Clevo P375SM-A can let me know is this normal?? i just dont want broke my new toy:) . My English is not perfect but i do my best . Thanks !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukemon Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 If you bought it second hand I would repaste the CPU and GPU heatsink with your favorite TIM and clean the insides. Immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanzmiester Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 i have 370sm-a with same CPU as your alienware and 980m sli here, which game makes it run that hot? that is no way normal. maybe you have too much OC on the CPU?when you force the fans to max, does it make it considerably cooler?

Sniegu Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 I have checked cpu and GPU fans and heatsink and they are clear, I run battlefield 4 with those temps. Right now I repaste GPU's and CPU using IC Diamond 7. And temps go down on cpu right now I am getting about 80 but GPU's still around 85. What temps i should get in max stress? And I didn't make any OC so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djask Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Not sure if your model has the shared heat pipes. Some of the models have a connecting heatpipe between the cpu heatsink and the gpu heatsink, effectively allowing for better cpu temps but sacrifcing gpu temperatures. Maybe that's why your CPU temps are quite high and your GPU temp sare better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniegu Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 GPU heatsinks with pipes are separated from CPU . CPU have little heatsink under fan only .Can any1 tell me what temps should get with P375SM-A i7 4940 and GTX 880M ??when gaming.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanzmiester Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 my friend has 85C on both 880m in his Alienware 18 in bf4. not sure about CPU though.i am not sure about you machine exactly, but in mine the cooler on the CPU sucks the air straight from the processor and blows it into radiator which has "hole" on the way, meaning the hot air is sucked from processor and is sent back inside the machine.i have fixed it by closing the opening on the fan from the side of the processor and sealed the "holes" on the way to the radiator. that helped me to get about 4-5 degrees less. be sure to use some non melting thing for doing that though!

Sniegu Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks for reply! . I use coolmaster U3 in my clevo and when i have fans sets in auto temps go very high over 85 in cpu and gpu with coolmaster!! but when i setup fans in 80-100%temps drops to 75-80 on gpu's and cpu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanzmiester Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 same with GPU fans, you have to seal all "windows" on the air way.but what clocks do you run anyway? and what CPU and GPU voltage? are you on stock vBios?what are your idle temps?

Sniegu Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Yes all stock I haven't touch anything yet. Idle Temp CPU are 45C and GPU 35-40 I have use high temperature tape to seal gap between fan and radiator and temp are arround 80c on cpu and gpu's and this is on automatic speed fan but when i use Fn+1 100% fan speed temp go down to 75 on both. Is it safe to keep using fan's at 100% when gaming? it can be stupid question but iam still learning . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanzmiester Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 so, i assume it's brand new? does it run the fans constantly in idle? if so - that is pretty much. from my experience 37xsm-a tries to keep GPU at 40C in idle by default. what BIos/EC version you are on, which operating system and version of hotkeys?

Sniegu Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 i use stock Bios and i have now use modified bios for gtx 880m both cards are running stock 993 mhz core . Cpu is not overclocked at all . Hotkey version i use 8.0134 but in this software i cannot change touchpad colour on my p375sm-a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniwalle Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Oh!That's too high to run it for long time. Just do something to drop the temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanzmiester Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 ok, look: i need exact to know exact version of your operating system, your Bios version and EC version. some bios versions are not compatible with win8 and some are not with7, same thing with hotkeys.

Sniegu Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 I am using Windows 8.1 pro bios I'll check later on when back home. Maybe stupid question but what is EC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniegu Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Bios version 1.03.06 , KBC/EC 1.03.02 and Hot key 8.0134Also i have install now HWiNFO and my idle temp's for CPU minimum 45 , average 48 and GPU minimum 32 average 37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanzmiester Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 you should update your Bios to version 7 and EC to version 6 for windows8.1 https://biosmods.wordpress.com/stock/ https://mega.co.nz/#!HVNCmSYb!IJxqG1Ai3QJW0guf37bNlzXFSbObA9rWB13fTvTdOtosee if it makes a difference for you.and thanks to Prema!also download hotkey that is for WIndows8 version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniegu Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 i have update bios to 7 and ec to 6 but i have notice now my temps for gpu are different?? gpu1 get in bench 75-80 and gpu2 about 10-15 c more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanzmiester Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 what? you mean your 2nd gpu gets to 95C ? 75-80 is fine though for 880m.download this hotkeys for win8http://www.sagernotebook.com/drivers/misc/p377sma/win8.1/07_hotkey.exeif that doesn't help, try downloading slightly earlier BIOS/EC here http://forum.techinferno.com/attachments/clevo/12680d1411852051-p375sm-a_35_35_stock.rar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniegu Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Idle temps arr fine 40 on each GPU but when use benchmarks or gaming for let say 1h my temps on GPU one is arround 80 and GPU 2 is arround 90c . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanzmiester Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 did you try that BIOS 5/EC 5 and hotkeys link i gave you in last message? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniegu Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hi Tanzmeister !!! Thanks for reply again! Yes i did please read below :I have load up Bios from ur link 5 and EC 5 when doing this in next page where i blue screen its saying something my chip is different and asking me if i want to replace it y or n . I dont know what to do in this step so i press n. Anyway i went to bios and it shows me bios ver 5 and EC 5 . Then i install also hot key from your last link . Restart PC and i have done Fire Strike test standard . My GPU1 Start with higher temp then GPU2 reach same temp on 70 c and after GPU2 get hot faster then GPU1 not much different about 5c on max temp with was GPU1 82 c and GPU2 85 this been maxed temp in fire strike . My question now is if those temp are fine ? in FireStrike Bench? and with GPU should have higher Temp? it should be the 1 GPU with higher temp or it dosnt matter? I have done small test in gaming i have run Battlefield 4 for hour and my GPU's Temps are in max GPU1 82 GPU2 89 when 89c been reached fans go auto faster drop temp to GPU1 to 82 and GPU2 85c then few minutes after temps back to 82 and 89 . When i press Fn+1 max speed fans temps are GPU 1 74c and GPU 2 80c so i belive its something to do with GPU2 but need some advice what else i can do?? Swaping the card may help? 82c on GPU1 in gaming is acceptable in my opinion (GTX 880M) but 89c is to high and i dont want brick my card:/ . Any more sugestions?

tanzmiester Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 you could have went for Y when prompted, as long as you flash 37xsm-a Bios/EC - you should be fine!i assume that it has asked you that when loading EC2, which does not change in version since ver2. so that should not be a problem, but you can try saying "YES" - that will not brick your system, don't worry. but i think result will be the same.Nvidia claims these cards to work up till 100C. but still these temps you get are quite high, they will not kill your laptop straight away, but i would be worried to run the laptop with these temps for too long and i mean months, not hours. especially that you are using cooling pad, makes me think that this is no way normal! if you would get these temps without the cooling pad, that would be somewhere on the edge of acceptable.that is why i am thinking that you laptop fans are misbehaving and possible solution that Bios/EC may have changed that.yes, it is normal that one of the GPUs runs slightly hotter than the other.i am out of solutions for now, except for downvolting your cards, but that would be a workaround not a real solution to this problem, and it may or may not work. what are your ASIC quality readings from both GPUs?tell me if you want to try the downvolting method, you will need to flash your cards with modded vBios a few times though and find right modification for each GPU to work stable. i can help. PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniegu Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 So what temp i should get in full load like gaming or benchmarks?? My Cpu 4940 get temp arround 77-83 its max when gaming or using bench's . Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
