I bought a new laptop from a custom shop here in denmark called MM-Vision. http
/www.mm-vision.dk/produkter/vispcsystem.asp?action=vis&type=notevision&menu=notebook&varenr=714850010&gruppe=pcnotevision
CPU: Intel Core i7 4th Gen - 4800MQ
GPU: Nvidia GTX 780m
I did my research and given that the only over viable choice would have been an MSI which the internet is yelling about overheating and only having one cooling unit, I thought i'd give it a go.
Now here I am, and it works great no doubt there. It plays Witcher 2 at 55-60 FPS on high presets, and the new Tomb Raider on a solid 60 FPS on Ultimate.
HOWEVER. Despite the fact that the case has 2 cooling units, presumably one for the CPU and one for the GPU, the GPU temp jumped all the way to 93c after just 15 mins of playing Witcher 2 on high. I don't even know if its stable or if it would climb with further use (my desktop usual reaches its stable temp after just a few mins of doing any task I give it, but I have no experience with laptops)
Even if its stable, there is no way I'm having a product that does keep its shit below 80c, as experience with other hardware tells me that it'll end up dying on me within 1½-2 years.
I have heard that cooling mats should make a difference, but will it be enough? Also with the new GPU Boost 2.0, even if I cool it down, will the card itself just boost itself more because it thinks it has the capacity for it?
If I can't fix the problem, I'll simply return it and get a more everyday laptop (that I don't mind dying in 1½-2 years).
Any and all experiences, and recommendations are welcome.
I have looked at it more closely, and it would appear that the +80c temps are momentary, and I only ever see it as the "max" temp under OpenHardwareMonitor, and the current, despite seeing it immediately upon minimizing, is never above 85c.
