Same here, with IC diamond 7, my max temps is around 76-78. very high. Even with all setting on low, it is around 73-75.

Hi guys, new question..... Lately i have played alot of Diablo 3, in multiplayer game i experience some throttling,(TechPowerup GPU-Z reports 85 degrees max temp......note: room temp were about 29 degrees) but havent experienced it in singleplayer mode yet. Looking on the temps i suspect its running a bit hot and maybe thats why it throttle? Should i repaste with these temps or try the Dell vbios maybe, or is this normal in these conditions?

Is there some of you playing Diablo 3 recording max temps?

Thx

I just pasted mine and I have the same settings as you and I still get throttling even on Civ5. I really think its the XM and not QM. Eurocom said the pasting would solve it but so far I think it hasn't.


On another note - has anyone used the new Nvidia driver? Do we need to do the fix it for it? If so has one got the fix file?

I still have my 720QM in a box somewhere, maybe i should try to reinstall it and see if it does the trick??

that would be a good comparison since you have both systems

I am using it right now, and so far there have been no BSOD's. It's the same fix as the one posted earlier in this thread.

I noticed a post earlier mentioning the blue PCB MXM 560m's on ebay are compatible with Clevo notebooks. Just to provide some clarification. I just upgraded my Sager np8130 to a 560m (Clevo p150hm1). I bought a blue PCB card first but it did not work with my laptop. I returned the blue card and bought a green one. The green card works fine. The seller told me the blue 560m had come from a Toshiba laptop.

Hi All,

I'm new here. I just want to thank dutchess63 as the advice given in this thread helped me in installing my new video card. I was able to change my card from GeForce GTX 260M to GeForce GTX 675M. Now my question is how to test if it made some improvement to my laptop?

Thanks in advance!

675m in the M15x? Interesting, though I highly doubt that it works without vbios mod. For testing you can run some benchmarks (e.g. 3dMark11) or just play some games.
Can you attach a GPU-Z log of a game or similar?

I don't actually know if I did the right thing. I didn't flash any VBIOS. Anyways hope people can help me out to improve my system. Here is the log from GPU-Z while surfing and then playing Diablo III on all full settings.

By the way, how do I attach a file here?
