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.

And yes, I've ran prime/intel tuning on my last laptop, and ran high 90's temp wise with no throttling. But I go and render a movie, with and without gpu acceleration, and bam 100's and throttling. So I do think that actual workload is just a tad more than a synthetic workload.

When you do the rendering on the Nvidia GPU, what kind of % load is on the CPU? I would imagine when using the Intel GPU for rendering the CPU load is 100%.

Rendering using gpu acceleration, it still utilized 100% cpu, and small fraction of gpu, mainly memory of gpu.

I've been using NVidia gpu for programs. I've retested twice more for just a quick first 5 min of my render and temps are still around 90c. I'll definitely use intel and see what that gives me for temps. But I'm trying to test how I would normally use the program, which is also what I know for a fact led to thermal throttling on my last ones.

Sadly my max temps are dropping now, last set of updates and driver installs just done an hour ago. Now rendering this movie yields me 85-87c. So, althought that's great, im going to remake a quick movie and make sure effect are being added which will add more stress. I don't think I should be lowering temps but if that is indeed correct, this is freaken awesome. Coolest normal running laptop ive had out of like 5 or 6 laptops now. That's all it took, 6th time a charm

Been running prime now for about 15 min, temps got up to 95c, but average around 90's.

Also tried powerdirector using the intel graphics, same temps as while using NVidia, around 90's.

Well, updates are done, programs are mostly installed. Havent gamed yet, but rendered using both most used programs, ran intel, ran prime, ran intel and prime, and I can get spikes about 93c, but avg is 88-90. Not a hint of thermal throttle yet.

Will be getting furmark next and try that, and try furmark and prime together. If I cant force this sucker to overheat I will have no doubt that it can keep cool, which is so much a relief.

On that note, I read on a different forum a user took apart his laptop and rethermal pasted, said the warranty sticker is only on the cpu screws? Does anyone know if that is correct? If I could, I will take this thing apart tommarrow and rethermal paste just to be on safe side. If there isn't a way to not void and rethermal, well at least this one has/holds good temps, hopefully long enough for this first year to get by.

dblkk, I wouldn't take a chance on repasting if you are getting good temps, which it looks like you are. Whether the sticker is broken or not, they can tell if you re-pasted, and it is a call the tech can make to reject it due to user tampering.

Also, it is a bit early to start pulling things apart, let a couple of weeks or more go by to let infant mortality time period elapse. Something else might die in the first few weeks of power on, and if that happens and you need to send it in for repair, that would suck 🙂

K, I agree that temps are good, but if I could repaste and get even better temps, that is why I was interested. Out of all 5 previous laptops thermals have been the biggest thing. And hopefully fingers crossed nothing else happens since it seems ive finally got a keeper. My luck if this one broke id get one with bad thermals back from asus.

Running furmark, 15 min 1080p burn in test, gpu runs at 88c for last 10 minuets or so. Highest I saw on previous JS model while gaming was 85c, but on titanfall and such that was a normal 75c. Averaged a poor 20 fps with a few jumps all the way to 21fps haha. But furmark was fine, gpu 88c max and cpu got 93c very max but 90c averaged.

After letting laptop sit for 10 min after running furmark, and no other programs open except hwmonitor, the idle temps are between 48c.

What are normal/your average idle temps?

dblkk, right now I am at 37c-41c on cores, 41c on package.

I will run the furmark 15min and update...
