djdblaster Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hello all, after successful upgrade from 670M to 970M, I want to eliminate high temperatures. I'm using 670M heatsink (I prefer to stick with it) which has been modded a little bit. GPU idling at 30-33 C. I hit 88 C in Far Cry 4, max settings. This is with the laptop sitting on the table. I will report back new temperatures after using laptop cooler.Does anyone have an idea how to bring temps down? (except new heatsink) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdblaster Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Arctic MX-4. As far as I remember, I've tighten the screws really good.As for the paste, I spread it with a credit card, along the whole chip, nice and thin. Dont tell me I need to put more?Edit: would it be possible to make DIY mod with copper wire? Make a bridge between GPU and CPU heatsinks?
