MSI Temperature questions and answers thread

Hello,
I've decided to create this thread, because recently there were some questions about GPU temps in MSI laptops.(GT78X, GT68X and Whitebooks 16F2, 1761).
So, I thought it would be nice to collect all data in one place.
Let's post screenshot with HW monitor(with idle and max temps recorded) or HWinfo thermal sensors window and GPU-z window open. And don't forget to post your ambient temp, thermal paste, external cooler model(if you are using one) and laptop model.
Knowing this data, we will be able to help one another with overheating and other thermal related questions.
This is my idle temps. Ambient temperature 28C

Will post my max load temps later.

 

Good idea for a thread, but wouldn't it be more useful to post a screen shot after say 30mins of gaming? Maybe even list the game?
It would be more beneficial to know starting temps (idle) and then max gpu & cpu temps after they've been doing a bit of hard work

That's what I was planning to do. I've got some results with some stock and OCed GPU at 24C ambient.
Screenshots of stock and Overclocked 570M(720/1440/1850 core/shader/memory) in Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2. Driver version 295.73.


Battlefield 3.1920*1080 Settings: Textures Ultra, Shadows Medium, all other settings high
Stock clocks Ambient temp 24C. Average FPS 28.8 Max temp 69C



Overclocked. Ambient temp 24C. Average FPS 38 Max temp 76C



Crysis 2. 1920*1080 Settings Gamer preset
Stock clocks Ambient temp 24C. Average FPS 49.8 Max temp 69C



Overclocked. Ambient temp 24C. Average FPS 60 Max temp 76C

 

MSI 1761 from Gentech: GTX 570m Overclocked (720 Core): IC Diamond TP:


Ambient Temp = 74 Fahrenheit

Idle - 32 Celsius

Idle w/ Turbo Fan - 25 Celsius

Gaming (2 hours of BF3 w/ mixed High/Ultra settings) - Varies 66-69 Celsius

Gaming (2 hours of BF3 w Turbo Fan) - Varies 62-64 Celsius

Furmark running for 1 hour - 73 Celsius (Turbo Fan disabled)

 

Heres mine after 30 mins of Skyrim.

GX660R upgraded with a HD6970m at stock clocks, and a 920xm with all 4cores at 2.9Ghz

Turbo fan is ON.

As you can see the GPU voltage is at 1.10v, although I can run and set it to 0.96v to run cooler, I cant seem to make the setting stick when windows reboots. (using ati tool).

I just got my GT683 in with 570M. IC Diamond TP. First game I've run is SWTOR.

With Turbo and Cooler Boost on I'm getting 75C. With cooler boost off I'm averaging 80C. Is that safe? Is it normal? I'm a little concerned.

It's my first time really getting into this type of detail, so I'm not too experienced and not sure. Help is appreciated!

 

What is your ambient temperature?

 

80c is safe for both but def getting warm.. I would just rock the turbo and cooler setting all the time if I was you

 

Ambient temperature is showing 28 C.

Idle GPU temp usually hovers around 40 C.

 

Anything above 80c and bf3 risks crashing for me.. or is that just bf3 lol.. oh who knows

 

That shouldn't be your card crashing at 80 Celsius. The mobile cards can withstand much more than that. Probably Battle Field.

 

With that ambient your temps are ok. As was said earlier anything below 90C is safe for mobile GPUs.

 

^ thank you both. BF is just unstable either way you look at it. Im going to pick up Skyrim and play that to see where it takes me.

 

If your a fan of MMORPG's, I wouldn't waste your time. I played Skyrim for about 3 hours and it was very lonely. I just got bored with it...FAST!

 

If I don't use my turbo fan I will hit high 80s on the GPU all day. There is nothing wrong with that either. Mobile GPUs are designed to take the abuse. My old 5870m would stay in the 70s but was obviously not the powerhouse my 6990m is. With turbo fan on brings temps down to around high 70s. My 55w 920xm also pushes the temps up a fair bit. Im hoping the 7000 series is compatible so I can swap out again. Or maybe get a new Lappy.

 

Here 2720qm + 580M both o/c: GPU temps max out at 85°C after few hours of BF3
