Never buying another gaming laptop again.

Can't even play TF2 on low with my GT780-DXR with a 570M. My video card ramps up to 95C while lagging out. This laptop is a frustrating the ever loving orange juice out of me, and I've gone back to using my desktop which is a couple generations older. Disappointingly enough, the desktop runs games much better despite being inferior in every aspect but hard drive space.

Sorry to hear that man. What will you do with your laptop now? How old is your laptop? You could wait and buy an Alienware, Asus, Sager/Clevo, or even a Samsung gaming laptop again when the new gpu comes out.

What?

You surely have something wrong there.

Seriously? Are you sure you installed your drivers properly?

Sounds like your graphics card needs a repaste. It shouldn't be getting nearly that hot.

I play Battlefield 3 on ultra with 85 temp and you play TF2 on low with 95 temp? Wow, I have to try that game.

Maybe ur fans are not working properly. Try to open it (if u dont have any warrantly) or contact ur seller. They probably will send ur notebook back to MSI for a few weeks and ur getting a new one

Everyone told you what you needed to do weeks ago, so fix it or shut up about it already.

Unless I find a stable solution to the overheating, I won't be looking into any other brand of gaming laptop. I'll just go back to the belief that gaming is one realm, and portability is another.

I don't even want to sell this laptop because of the huge loss I'd take selling a laptop that overheats. Noone wants to buy that. So I'm sticking with the problem until I figure it out, hopefully.

I may have, I'm not sure anymore.

I followed instructions for the drivers somebody posted on the last thread I made regarding the "massive fps drop" I was experiencing, that I made before I realized that the fps drop was due to overheating.

I would do this, but I never registered my laptop when I first got it. Because of this, I'm unsure if I still have an effective warranty or not. I bought from Gentech PC, if this makes any difference. The laptop never overheated when I first got it, however I live in the north and winter was just starting when I got the laptop, so I figured that may have to do (among other things) with the overheating issue.

Just very frustrated at getting better fps out of my older desktop than my new gaming laptop.

Still debating if I should repaste myself or try to send it back to MSI/ gentech. In the meantime, the overheating is driving me up a wall. I've gone back to using my desktop. I know the best option is to repaste, but doesn't doing this void my warranty?

I have my laptop sitting on a wood table when I use it, when I put something under the rubber legs like bottle caps to give it more clearance under the laptop this cools it down significantly, but the loss of traction makes it absurdly easy to bump and move the laptop while I'm using it also. I need some kind of quality notebook cooler that you put under the laptop. Does anyone have any suggestions for this?
