G75 VX Fan Speed software?

[B-RAD]

I have had my laptop for 2 years now and have never had a problem with it even getting warm let alone hot. I just started having problems with my display drivers not responding and then recovering. I think I narrowed it down to unusualy warm air coming from the right fan vent on the back of the laptop ( left fan vent if you face the back of the pc ). I am not %100 positive this is the cause but It has never been this way until now. Is there any free fan rpm control I can download to extend the life of my slowly dying display adapter. I have a Rog G75 VX with win 7 ultimate 64 bit OS. this info or any other to help this problem would be nice please. I have looked through the search and have not found any results for this specific machine and fan speed control . Sorry if my question sounds too minute for anyone to answer I am new to this but very eager and willing to learn. Everyone has to start somewhere and there is only one way to learn. Thanx all in advance

It sounds to me like your GPU is overheating the fan can only help so much. Your fan will run full speed from about 70c.
I suggest you load Hwinfo64 run the sensor and you will see your CPU & GPU Loads Temps and Fan Speeds. With this information you might see that the pasting on your GPU is or has failed.

I don't know of any fan profile programs that will work on a G75VX

Ok Last night I tore my laptop down and gave it a thorough cleaning. I had installed speedfan b4 this and my fans were running at about 1800 rpm and all temps were over 100 deg fht including the gpu it was highest at 118 deg fht. After the cleaning the fan speeds were a little ove 2000 rpm and all temps had gone down just below 100 deg fht and the gpu is still hottest at 101 deg fht. I didn't even know what thermal paste was until you said that. From what I understand it connects the gpu/cpu to the copper thermal coupler and draws the heat out of them kind of like a radiator? Since air is a poor conductor of heat this paste insures the heat has a path to escape into the copper? Is this right or am I way off? So if it fails I need to repaste them right. Also the old paste does it need removed before I repaste?

And you are right if there are any fan profile programs for the G75VX I could not find them. Speed fan only gave me the rpm/load/temp but did not work in controlling the fans at all.

Also I wanted to say thank you for your reply. I am new to pc maintenance but I am eager to learn. I have the skills but lack the knowledge. I am a cnc rebuild tech so I am not a complete idiot like a lot of people try to treat individuals on these forums. Just saying I appreciate your time and thank you again.

If you get it please let me know.

Thanks

I was told that anything over 100 deg fht is slowly cooking memory.Is this right and if so around where should all my temps be for this model? Also after reading about the thermal paste I read there are 3 main types witch would you recommend for the G75VX? Sorry so many questions just slowly learning. The day I quit learning is the day I give up.

Yes your temp are way to high and your fan speeds very slow? Under full CPU load mine run at 3800 RPM using burn in test my CPU never gets of 75C. The temps you stating your CPU and GPU would be Throttling to protect the hardware.
Repasting is not something to take lightly with notebooks. While a straight forward thing with desktops. It not impossible as many here in this forum have accomplished this. If mine goes bad I'll probably attempt it myself.
Most of the Custom dealers are repasting using IC diamond paste before you even get it from them. You might be able to get Asus to repaste or one of the custom dealers too? Shouldn't be too expensive for a shop that knows exactly what they are doing and have all the proper material and tools. I would search You Tube. There is one really great video on complete disassembly

Ok Thanks for the link. I did look and found some vids of the VW models witch I assume are very similar. I don't have any custom dealers or shops anywhere close to where I live. From the vids I have seen I am fairly confident I should be able to manage the task. I do understand these parts are very delicate. I did find some formula 7 diamond paste at BestBuy. What points or advice about this process would you stress the most.

Follow the direction I'm unfamiliar with the brand you bought but should be all the same Pea size drop center of the CPU and GPU. Just be very careful not to break anything. I don't remember the other guy's that did this had any issues as long as they were very careful separate your screws and Identify them. Yea a VX would be pretty similar I think You Tube seems to have lots of video's you could always ask the author of some of them also you could PM any of the cl- ** or @asus demonic might remember he did some serious mods with his VW. I think that Asus uses thermal pads instead of paste so be sure to clean all that crap up. You could look back through this forum its been a while since I seen anyone talk about repasting. Most everyone has moved to the 750 or 751 you could also look around the 751 forum a lot to the guys there have just moved up from G75 Hmscott might put you on the right track.

Well I finally decided to go ahead and take this task on myself (Hopefully no regrets LOL). I will let you know how it goes. By your last post I assume you recommend the drop on then let the staggerd tightening of the heat sinks do the work of smoothing it out. Or should I attempt to smooth the paste out on the gpu and cpu myself before installing the heat sinks back on ? I have seen both methods done in vids. My only concern is if I don't smooth it out myself that it may still be too thick after the install. Well if I don't hear back from you before I start Ill just feel it out as I go. Trial and error works. I just really don't want to have to tear it back down again. I am a firm believer in the "if its worth doing at all , its worth doing right the first time.
