when i play games, and specially demanding games my gpu gets hot. Now, whats a safe max temperature it can reach? Mine on average gets to 83 c... is it safe??? Should i turn my gpu fan to max if it gets that hot? Some insight would help.. Thanks!

What games do you play when it reaches 83 c, just curious 🙂

I avg 75C after 4hrs+ gameplay of COD Ghosts, BF4, Lords of shadow 2
and 79C after 2hrs of Crysis3/bioshock infinite
Are these temps safe??? (they are gpu temps)

I have G750JX-CV069P

Which model G750 do you have? JW/JX/JH JM/JS/JZ ?

G750JZ with I7 4700 2.4 ghz, and 880m 4 gb vram

I haven't worked with a JZ yet, and not many reports are in yet, so I can't say whether that is normal or not.

When I push my G750JH GTX780m to 100% utilization, I see 89c. Normal gaming use I see 65c-75c.

But gaming temperature readings are variable depending on the game intensity and playing intensity, it is better to get a benchmark that heats things up to a measurable load utilization and a consistent re-createable level and then you can run that test on other machines and compare.

Let's try Furmark:

The newest Furmark interferes with the Asus GPU Tweak tool monitoring, so I switched to the Built-in GPU Shark monitoring with Furmark.

Here are the results of about 5 minutes of a 15 minute run on "Burn-in benchmark 1920x1080 15min", while also running CUDA processes, to get the utilization up to 99%, The GTX780 is OC'd to 932/6250

36005

36006

I get the same 89c max temp, at stock speeds, without any additional CUDA jobs running:

36007

I quit and restarted Furmark and GPU Shark between runs to reset the max/min readings.

What do you get when you do the same on the JZ?

Two runs, a Furmark run at stock speed, and a Furmark run OC'd through Asus GPU Tweak Tool for Laptops would be nice - and what values for GPU/memory speed shown in GPU Shark. I use built-in Windows 8.x Snipping Tool to grab dialog shots.

SO ITS NORMAL then i guess... thanks!

If you do the Furmark runs for comparison, we will know the max temp, as the gaming temps you are seeing might not be at 100% utilization. The temps you are seeing are higher under gaming than I see. The 89c reading I am showing is for a 5 minute run at 99% utilization.

Reload the page, and read my previous post, I updated it 🙂

looks like im doing good.. didnt go above 78 c after about a little over 5 minutes...36008




ALSO FAN IS RUNNING AT STOCK SPEED during this test
