980TI G6 Gaming is running very hot and thermal throttling

So I've been stability testing my new 980TI G6 Gaming and it performs okay but man is it hot. I think there's an issue with the GPU not making good contact with the heatsink, maybe uneven thermal paste, because after about 10 minutes it gets up to over...

I have been looking into MSI, and I would like to get one of their notebooks, however I am unsure of which one to buy given the large variety of models they have.
What would others recommend I get?
I am aiming to spend under 2500 for my computer, and i...

  • Satellite A300D - Fan running very loud and notebook is getting very hot

    I was wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction as what to do with the overheating problem i currently have with my A300D. I have had the laptop for under a year so it is still under warrenty but i am not sure where to go or what to do in order to repair it.
    The problem: Around two months ago I noticed the fan running very loud and also the laptop becoming very hot. Now it runs so hot the laptop switches itself off completly. The heat being fanned out of the laptop is so hot! burns your my infact.
    Has any one any advice they could offer me.
    Thanks
    James

    Hi James
    You wrote that you have the notebook under a year so my questions is did you already clean it?
    The notebook should be cleaned every 3-4 months and I do this every 3 months. Every time I do it Im wondering how much dust comes out and after this procedure the notebook is a lot of cooler.
    Here is an interesting Toshiba article about this:

  • Mid-2010 Macbook Pro running very hot

    Hi all,
    My mid-2010 Macbook pro is running very hot. On average CPU is 61-70 degrees Celsius, sometimes even more. I'm pretty bad at having lots of chrome tabs open and heavy multitasking, but even when I'm not temperature still ends up very high and fan rpm can get to over 6000. Heat seems to be concentrated to the lefthand side of the touchpad (battery area?). I'm running 10.9.3.
    Current stats below from iStat pro widget (smcFanControl concurs with these temps), with only the following pic's activity running. Laptop currently balanced on two books (so airflow around the sides) which are in turn on my lap.
    I have tried reseting the SMC with the shift-control-option-power method but it doesn't seem to have worked - instructions said to press and hold this, then release, then press power again to boot, but laptop boots up from this combination anyway.
    Am I just doing something wrong or will this be an expensive trip to the apple store to fix?

    Hey happyhaskins,
    If you are having an issue with your MacBook Pro running excessively hot, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
    In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
    Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good...

  • My macbook pro was on sleep mode, and when i opened it again, it wouldn't come off the black screen. It is very hot and also doesn't respond to the power button...

    My macbook pro was "asleep". I opened it later, and the screen wouldn't change from black.. The bottom of the laptop is very hot and making a hissing/whirring sound. I tried hitting the power button to turn it off, but the conditions just stayed the same. It doesn't respond to the power button, and the screen just stays black. How do i fix this?!

    I will go to the Apple store.  I just thought I would throw it out there to see if anyone had a solution.  They repaired this macbook before twice.  The last time they replaced several things to fix the screen.  I just threw out the question to see if someone could save me the trip to the store. 
    I was curious if the new programs (like lego games) can cause the computer to run to a point to blank the screen.
    And curious if there are other things I can try to get the screen up and running.

  • Imac 27" 2012 Mountain Lion running very hot

    Please help. My 27" IMac running very hot, especially top left corner. Is there a fix.
    Tony R

    A couple of things.  First, do you know what the internal temperature are? if not, look into getting the widget istat from slayer.  It will show you something like this:
    You can monitor the fan speeds and temps.
    The iMac should speed up the fans in relation to the temperatures against a profile determined by Apple.  If for some reason, your fan speeds are low and the temp is sitll high, you may need to reset your SMC.  That is the shutdown, unplug, wait, plug it back in, restart maintenance proceedure.
    If everything is working properly and you still don't like the temperatures, you can download SMCfancontrol.  This applications allows you to speed up your fans manually or set higher minimums.
    Lastly, iMacs to get hot and are designed for it.  Apple wants to keep the fans speeds down so the system is quiet.  If you play lots of games, or doing a lot of GPU/CPU intensive work, it is normal for the chips to hit 70C at the case and the fans to be clearly audible.  If you were expecting to work the machine hard but the aluminum backside to be just warm, that won't happen.

  • Macbook pro 2.16 running very hot. Is there a fix?

    Hi
    My MacBook Pro 2.16 17" is running very hot all of a sudden. anyone know what causes this?  Is there a fix?

    Welcome.  If this is happening all of a sudden, you should ask yourself if you have installed anything recently, updated anything, or changed the hardware in any way.  I presume that the fans are running fast.  Does the heat go away, or is this (and the fans) constant when the Mac is running?  Make sure the vents are not blocked.
    To see what processes are running when this is happening, go into the Utilities folder (in Applications) and start Activity Monitor (probably the top of the list there).  See what processes are running and if any have an unusually high percentage in the CPU column.  Make sure the button (top right) shows Active Processes.  As an afterthought, the occasional surge to a high speed by a process is not unusual, but a process that has a continuing high reading is what you need to look for.
    You may find that something like Flash or a QuickTime reference is showing unusual activity.  You can highlight the item (with a click) and use the red Quit Process button to make it stop. If this repeats, some other investigation may be needed.

    Likely not but without specific information it's impossible to say. Please download a OS X temp monitoring app and reply with actual tempratures.

  • Black Macbook runs very hot after installing MS Office 11.5.7 update

    I don't know if the two events are causally related, but my black Santa Rosa Macbook is now running scorchingly hot (74 - 85 degrees C) after I installed the MS Office 11.5.7 update tonight. Won't cool down. When turned off for twenty minutes, then re-booted, it begins to run very hot again within a minute or two, despite SMC fan control being on.
    Activity monitor says a kernel task at the root level is using 160.46 gigs of real memory and 1.24 gigs of virtual memory; something called "mds" also at root is eating 43 megs of real memory and 733 megs of virtual; a "database daemon" under my user name uses only 23 megs of real memory but over a gig of virtual, and "netupdateagent" which may or may not have something to do with Intego updates uses a whopping 2.9 gigs of virtual but only 6.9 of real memory.
    I have tried to copy and paste the columns below. Any advice greatly appreciated.

  • New Mac Mini running very hot?

    I have just bought (few days ago) a new Mini 2.0GHz with standard 1GB RAM and 120GB HD and it's my first Intel Mini so I have no reference for this behaviour.
    When I boot the system up it shows CPU at around 57-59 C temperature and 1-2% load, so basically idle state.
    If I get it to do things, it will climb up to 78-80 C at 80% load. Did not run at 100% load yet, but 78 C feels pretty hot as it is.
    The bottom of the unit is very hot and the sides and even top are warmer than what I'd expect the Mini to be.
    Is this normal behaviour or should I return this unit and get a different one?

    Thanks for all replies, I guess I'll just have to settle that it runs this high.
    Though some people have told me their Minis are cooler than 57 C idle, I tend to believe Apple does not take much care when applying thermal paste or seating the heatsink onto the CPU. I have read way too many reports supporting this to be the case when people opened their Minis and checked...
    I have same problem that you with new Mac Mini 2GHz and 2GB of Ram and 160GB of HDD.
    Yesterday I run aMule, and I can see CPU B was 79º and CPU A 68º with 50% or 60% of load and I was afraid of it.
    Do you use your Mac Mini to full load and it works well? Did you try to apply a new thermal paste?

  • T60 running very hot, any diagnostic software available from lenovo to run on this machine,?

    hi
    im just wondering if lenovo offer any diagnostic tools for the t61.
    i have one here thats running very hot at the moment, even though the fans seems to be running ok.
    its not giving any issues at such at the moment, but i dont want to fry it either if its overheating.
    thanks

  • [Ubuntu10.04] Thinkpad x100e running very hot + unstable wifi

    BIOS version : 1.23 (latest)
    this machine runs very hot even at idle state... ( latest BIOS makes CPU fan faster, but seems doesn't help lower the temperature )
    long term using may cause wifi stopped working on me, suspect the heat makes the wifi card fail, must be restarted to have it work again.
    anyone experienced this too? plz share it, or some solution is appreciated
    thx,
    Robby

    That card is relatively young card, and so is not on par with some atheros/broadcom/intel wificard.
    I think that most of the problems can be fixed at driver level.
    So the latest realtek driver works a lot of better in ubuntu, and the latest windows update driver works better than the latest lenovo provided one, in windows.
    I hope that further improvements can be obtained in the near future.
    Regard the cpu temp, 80C (and more)  is normal when the cpu is under heavy load, in the average use the cpu temp will vary from 54 to 65. I suggest you to use cpufan or coretemp to monitor the cpu temps.
    The choice of lenovo was to have a quiet fan and temps higher than usual, one can agree or disagree with that approach, but that is ...

  • MBP very hot and now battery is fried ?

    To all the MBP experts out there......maybe you can help ?
    1. My MBP (46 months old) has been running VERY hot........that is, if you use it while putting it on your lap (bare skin contact), you'll get burned after a short while.
    2. My battery (only 1 year old, 170 cycles) is dying, and the MBP switches itself to sleep mode when the charge reaches about 40-50%. From full charge, it only takes about 30 minutes to reach 40-50%.
    Here's the tricky one.......Coconut battery could say that max capacity is 55% one day, and 80% another day, and then 35% another day..........what's with the variability ??
    Help...........I'm confused.........time to get a new MBP ?

    Since your Mac is fairly old, nearly 4 years, it is more then likely clogged with dust in the fan intake and exhaust area.
    First thing to do is clean the dust out.
    Second thing to do is take it to and Apple Genius Bar or AASP and have it checked for the Bad NVidia Graphic chip as your model is one of these.

    Good Luck.

  • Computer gets very hot and fan stays on

    I have a HP with i7 it gets very hot and the an stays on. I think somthing must be running in the back ground but I can"t find it. I have all the cooling tables etc. any ideas any one?

    What is your laptop model?
    Probably the heatsink clogged with dust and has to be cleaned up.
