Help! Brand new ASUS ROG G752VT-T7022T High Temp's!

Hi,

I purchased the ASUS ROG G752VT-T7022T laptop a month or so ago, I only really play strategy games such as the Total War series. However whenever I play these games I am always hitting temps core temps of 80 - 95 degrees c. Surely this can not be right, the graphical settings are set optimally set by Nvidia which the hardware should be able to cope with easily - I'm concerned and a bit annoyed to be honest having spent a tidy sum on this laptop.

Any ideas anyone as to if this is normal or is there something I can do to lower temps?

Cheers

Is enough air getting to the CPU? Are you making sure all the vents in the case aren't obstructed?

If you have a look at a picture of this ROG laptop you'll see all most all vents and fans are built in the back not bottom

I use the laptop on my lap. On a small cushion most of the time, to prevent my legs melting. There are two vents at the bottom of my ROG. One is the hard drive port and I believe the other is where the memory is located. Mine is generally fine but it does get toasty particularly in FM16 during the 3d phase of the game. How are you monitoring these temps?

The fans and vents are not obstructed. I have even tried using a cooling fan but I'm still hitting temps of 90 plus degrees c.

Have you taken a look at the ROG forums, seems afew people have the same issue

How long have you had it? I'd be sending it back tbh. Hardware doesn't last long at those temps.

Bought April 18th this year. anyone got an email address for Overclockers shop, as the 'webnote' on their site keeps bouncing back to my email.

Sounds like you might have a problem. Have you taken the rubber bungs out of the back vent ? Mines never gone above 75 degrees & hardly ever hear the fans blowing!

The two weird rubber bungs, yes I removed them, I was supposed to??

yes remove them when its in use. Have you updated the bios to 213 ? I think that was supposed to help with thermal issues.

I'll look into it but I'm sure bios are up to date.

What are the rubber bungs supposed to do when not in use?

There was a new bios to update. It has helped drop temps by maybe 2-3 degrees c, not enough really.

So this was overclockers response 'This is perfectly normal for laptops im afraid'.

Well I totally disagree a brand new ROG gaming laptop of high spec should not be hitting temps of 90 degrees c plus when playing games that are not even that graphically demanding.

Anyone else have an opinion on this?

Would it void warranty if you opened it up? Maybe you could wack it open and have a look, maybe even replace the TIM? It could just be the heatsink needs tightening.

This might be worth a read -->LINK<--

It shows the temps a lot lower and only reaching them while running benchmarks ie Prime95 + FurMark Stress.

What are you using to read the temps?
Maybe try a different program to double check?

I have an Rog laptop and it does not get to 90 .... how hard are the fans running ?

And what are your temps when just in windows ?

In windows usually anywhere from 28 to mid 40's.

I'm using CoreTemp and I have tried a number of others to double check - all read the same give or take, including the built in RoG monitor.

Overclockers and ASUS basically have said that unless it starts shutting down often due to temps then they will not see it as a fault. Disgusted by the 'help' from Overclockers and ASUS - when you spend a daft sum of money you expect it to be able to do what you bought it for.
