    Having a hard time finding other user temps with this build before and after delid. Is this what most people are seeing? If there is a better solution or if it doesn't look right please give advise.

    [email protected] and sli 1080's in clevo laptop, stock CPU and GPU both reaching over 90c and throttling which reflected on performance.

    After delid/LM application and deciding that 4.3GHz would be the best performance to temp ratio without additional cooling solutions. Dropped a solid 12-15c degrees and gained slight performance boost due to it not thermal throttling. I tried @4.6GHz and the score was quite a bit higher than stock 4.6GHz but the temps were still reaching upper 80's which I wasn't a fan of.

    You should be happy that you don't play PS3 games on your notebook or do other intensive CPU loads. Then you wouldn't even getting past 4ghz without seeing thermal throttle alert and 95+c.

    as long you only do gaming and don't reach above 85c u're fine.

    max fans? I've been trying to find software that will let me change fan speed because the fans don't even kick up in rpm until it's already hot. Do you know of anything? I tried SpeedFan, but it doesn't properly read the fans on the laptop. instead of seeing 1cpu and 2gpu fans it just sees 1 cpu and it says the rpm on it is something crazy like 1,000,000 rpm

    Only real fan control is from obsidiantools.
    Here is the link

    Hey thanks, at 4.6GHz under 80c now with much more reasonable fan controls

    Please be careful, timespy isn't exacly CPU intensive.

    Always try and monitor your temps while doing stuff (especially CPU intensive stuff), otherwise you'll one day have a dead brick for a notebook.

    You don't need any software for max fans. Simply Fn+1 to switch between auto and max fans.

    Technically yes.

    But not if you want to avoid having a choice under load between thermal throttling or deafening, or don't want to have to mash hotkeys every time you start or finish a heavy workload or game.

    The "overclock" profile in the default Clevo Control Center app at least spins up the fans to avoid thermal throttling but is not perfect. Obsidian app is complete customisation and well worth it.

    Yeah I would rather set a good fan rpm based on thermals than either sit through 100% all the time or using hotkeys all the time. Tested 4.8GHz for an hour on cpu-z and peaked at 87c. I won't be using it any more extensive than that so it's all good for me. Thank for the program.

    TBF, with the amount of heat these overclocked hexacores spew out, deafening fan speed is required to prevent thermal throttle, so there isn't really a happy medium.

    Have you tried to undervolt your CPU?
    If you can do it, it could drop your temps by another 10-ish degrees C.
