GPU getting 200+ Fahrenheit Dangerous?
fohfoh:
Asus isn't bad. Some have issues, but it's a very small minority. It's good and cheap power. Lenovo is my personal choice though. I'm considering getting one of these later. It's a good tough and durable notebook that isn't as insane as the panasonic toughbook.

;; "durable" my... ;; My mother used one of those for work, I accidentally dropped it once. Byebye Lenovo ThinkPad.
(click to show/hide)On her replacement, I put one of those fake internet explorer icons that goes like "WARNING A VIRUS HAS BEEN FOUND!! SHUTTING DOWN IN 1 MINUTE" and runs shutdown.exe, she took it to the tech department and they cudnt find the said virus, but it kept happening. so with frustration they swapped it out AGAIN. I told them what I did later on ;; No one cared to check the icon's source!

I've never had issues with lenovo. Toshiba have generally been ok, but they're sort of weaksauce.

If youre GPU is at 90C+ you got a problem.
I think the reccomended max temprature for the dual/quad core is about 65C. It prolly depends on the age of the processor. Newer ones are made to handle more heat.
Think the max for my old gpu, 4870 were 85C. Since youres is older id say it need help.
Iam not completly sure about this, but if it were my computer id do something about it. Before it goes to sleep, permanently.

I googled it a bit, Alot of DV6, DV9 models went under recall the other year due to issues like not powering on, wifi, screen not showing, etc. I went to the nvidia forums and found an old post, one person said the heat damaged their wifi card *probally my issue* and part of the mobo itself, *which explains why they changed it* It also explains why the wifi issue was never fixed for more then a week after recieving it back from repair, until the mobo got switched under recall. They probally replaced the wificard, but the heat killed it just as quick. the GeForce & Chipset from that laptop is 95nm, btw. After doing MORE research the critial temp for the 6150 is 135c, so...hopefully it doesnt reach that point -.- but someone mentioned something about a modified BIOS to keep fans running on high, the lappy alrdy sounds like an airplane. Im going to try to find that.
