4 Asus G750 JM's and now on second JS

[dblkk]

Hey guys, I'm sure most of you hear have seen and heard my posts before. Mainly reguarding ridiculous temps while rendering. 100-105 c with thermal throttling on at least 2 cores.

Well, just and I mean just got my replacement JS model from amazon via ups.

Just signed into with live account and letting windows do its thing quick. Then will d/l intel extremem tuning utitlity, and stress test this, while I download sony vegas 12 pro and cyberlink powerdirector 12. Seeing as how all laptops before ran hot, yet acceptable during stress, it was the rendering that pushed high and throttling.

Fingers crossed, as this is Asus's last shot. And I really love just everything about this laptop. Just everything screams awesome. But if its going to run hot and throttle. I'm going msi route. I know that'll run hot and throttle, but at least ill get 4800 and 880m for the same issues.

How do you monitor temps while gaming?

connect a 2nd monitor. Thats atleast how i do it XD

i did cpu test as well for 5min. So far im very happy with this laptop. Just installed Planetside 2 and ran it on ultra for a few min. with fraps and i was in high 50 to low 60.

Well hwinfo will run in background: give you high/low/avg. Otherwise if you download and instal msi afterburner and rival tuner. Rival tuner works with hwinfo, you can use mwinfo in the settings to choose which/what you want displayed, then select push to rivaltuner. Then when your in game, it works like fraps up in the corner, and will display whatever you want it to. I choose, fps, gpu temp, cpu temp, gpu % load, cpu core 1 and 2 % load.

dblkk, one of the hidden benefits of troubleshooting hardware, you become expert at using the tools available to collect data 🙂

Hows it look so far dblkk?

Yes hmscott, all valid points/ideas. Will be doing testing every round of updates. Havent gotten a true baseline 0% load/idle yet, but upon first boot it was around 20-40% cpu and was sitting around 65-70c. Which was around same as last, fan noise was minimal though and before it was noticeable.

After this movies done it is supper time, so ill let it sit while I eat and that should give me a pretty accurate idle. Screen shotting all along the way as well as writing down some notes to compare with later on.

Idle should be reached within 3-5 minutes, even from a hot run.

BTW, I have been meaning to ask someone, does the Turbofan only boost the GPU fan, or does it boost the CPU fan too?

so far, so good. Tried to d/l just the program itself and then load a saved project and files. Program told me that the saved project was created using additional features not available on my current one. so spend another hour downloading all that crap. Started rendering 18 min ago, been at 100% solid now for about 10 min. Temps shot up to 90-91 and hold pretty close, with small dips down to 88c and a few jumps to 93c. But holds pretty steady at 90c. Which is 10c lower than my other, and also 10c away from thermal throttling.

None of this is 100% accurate though. I haven't downloaded any updates, or anything. just monitoring software and video editing software. Will need to do windows/asus/ect updates, set up my settings and profiles, and everything else. Then ill try sony vegas.

But so far its looking good. I'm pretty sure first test run on my last laptop gave me high 90's with no throttling.

Havent noticed any turbo fan. I know cpu fan seems to ramp up pretty quick but only when you jump to full cpu load. And that maxes around 4500rpm, never seen anything higher, typical idle is 2200 rpm, and average rpm around 3000. Gpu fan I barely ever hear or even feel, but I do know that the gpu fan is larger than the cpu fan, which I don't get since gpu fan rarely runs and cpu fans always on. But either way, ive never had a problem gpu side of things, gpu still sitting at 90c after an hour and a half of 3200mhz cpu, no dips just a constant 100%. Oh its been so long.

Ill keep checking actual rendering in between so many groups of updates I do, and lets hope that this thing stays good.
