    What are the 1645's temps reaching while testing for throttling?

    I have been testing my Studio 1557 today for throttling issues.The i7 does throttle down to the x10 multi under a 100% load on the CPU and GPU after about 10 minutes.
    But it seems to be temp related not starving for power.

    When my GPU hits 100c it will throttle back to about 88c.When the GPU does that the multi on the CPU goes from 10x to 12x (1.6ghz stock speed).While the GPU creeps back to 100c the CPU stays at 10x until the GPU hits 100c then back to 12x for a few minutes.It just keeps "bouncing" back and forth like that.

    Back to my original question.

    While you guys are testing the 1645 for throttling what are your temps reaching?

    no where near that high. the highest reading ive seen on mine was 85C. That was on the gpu and was an all time high for a peak.. usually games run at 75-80C range. With the new laptop cooler its now in the 70C range.

    For the power of this system, the cooling seems to be very efficient.

    Same here--most times the temps are around 75-80C, and this temparature can sustain itself for hours.

    The highest I've ever seen was 86C, but it was only for a moment and happened while I was stress-testing the machine.

    I agree with atlstang--the cooling of the machine is definitely ample.
