Is this Normal Temperature for my XPS M1730?

Lately I've been busy and haven't played a whole lot of games. Just the other week I notice my GPU temps went up on ilde. The fan would kick in ,to stablized the temp around 75 degrees then drop to 60 or so. The temperature just keeps climbing up till it maxed at around 75 degrees. Iv'e already went and bought some air can blowers and blow all that dust and lints out. I even ensure it's clean by shining a flash light thur the top of the fans and look thur the vents to see if I can see the fan blades. All is clear but I'm still having then same issues. When I ran games such as RE5 it gets really hot sometimes reaching 95 degrees. My palms sometimes starts to burn anyone encounter such act? Wondering if there's anything else I can do before calling DELL support!


Here's 1 shot of the temps! It'll drop to around 60 and up to 75 ilding!

 

Your idle temps are normal but it is that cycling, for me 50 - 75c over and over that I believe is killing the cards in these machines. It is a bios problem pure and simple.

Your peak gaming temps are a concern. Canned air isn't enough. I was fanatical about keeping my Beast clean and my GPU died regardless. I cleaned my work area, the laptop and my cooler once a week I also did the torch routine. Anyway Dell couldn't come to my location so sent me the new GPU and I installed it myself and I was shocked at how much crap was in the machine. From now on every three months I'll pull The Beast apart as there is no way to clean it unless you pull it apart. I'm not saying that high temps killed my GPU as it never peaked above 83c but I do know that just blowing air doesn't clean it. So pull it apart see if that helps and then give Dell a call. My bet is that they will say it is in normal tolerances and hey it's still woking isn't it.

 

man, nice cards in there. part of that dell $1k deal?

anyways, i had the 8700 cards and those idled around 60 i think, and i always propped it up because it sure did move a lot of air when required
