Is it only me or is this laptop quite loud?

First of all let me tell you that this is the first gaming notebook I've bought, since I absolutely need it due to the mobility of my job.
Now I've been wondering why it seems to be really loud (the fans).
I understand that notebooks may be a tick louder than desktops but it seems like the fans just go absolutely crazy at random times during gaming sessions.
Checked the temperature with dragon gaming center and at said times the CPU and GPU were around 65°, so there shouldnt be a need for the fans to go this crazy right?
Help would be much appreciated.

Actually the GT72 dissapoints a little. Sorry to say that. I had two laptops of the previous models and I'll explian why:
2 generations befor the GT72 the CoolerBoost had one fan but two "cooling sinks" besides that fan.
1 generation before the GT72 they added a thermal bridge between GPU and CPU heatsinks so the heat was transported both ways and the "cooling sink" of the CPU helped to cool down the GPU (but the CPU could (in therory) also heat up the GPU).
The GT72 now has 2 separete fans and the two "cooling sinks" besides the fans are not as close as before. But it has only an additional thermal bridge form CPU hestsink to the GPU "Cooling sink" (not heatsink). Both fans are controled individually. The CPU fan only speeds up if the CPU is getting hotter.
So in situations where the CPU is generating much heat this cooling solution should be more powerful.
But in standard situations I'm not sure. It seems even a little less powerful.
In the last MSI barebone I had (with GTX780M - 1 generation older as GT72) there was just one fan for CPU and GPU but that fan still was in SPIN DOWN under normal office use most of the time. In the GT72 I never had both fans spinning down a single second...

  • E1500 router only local access from Vista laptop

    I upgraded my old Linksys wrt54g to the E1500. All the XP os are connected  via cable and wireless connection, but the Vista laptop i get local access only connection error. This laptop used to connect on the older router using wep but with E1500 wpa-2 it cannot connect. I am unable to ping the router from the laptop wireless. Connecting ethernet cable it works fine and logging in as a guest works does too. Any suggestions on what could be wrong?

    Disable the security on the router and Vista compter and try to connect with no security.   If successful go back and enable security and try again.

    Help is right here for you Omichael! Let's get you conneted
    to your home wifi. May I ask are you able to connect to other wifi networks? If
    so then please forget your home network again, turn wifi off, reboot, and
    retest. If this doesn't work then you will want to reset network settings.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Keep in mind that
    this will delete ALL wifi passwords that you have saved.

  • Laptop shows "access: local only" when connected to this hotspot

    I have the Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MHS291L set up in my home environment.  I have a number of computers that are able to connect to it and use the internet.  There is one laptop that I have (Lenovo SL500) which is Vista SP2, that has trouble connecting to the Jetpack.  I went into the Connected Devices settings for the Jetpack and noticed that this particular laptop was in the Blocked Devices section.  I Unblocked the laptop and it then appeared in the Connected Devices section.  Not sure how it got into the Blocked Devices section in the first place.  Anyways, upon trying to connect to the wireless network, I looked at the wireless network connection and it shows "Access:  Local only" instead of "Acess: Local and Internet."  It seems like the laptop connects to wireless, but I cannot browse the internet in any browser.  Also, I have tried this laptop at someone else's house that has a standard wireless router (no hotspot) and the laptop connects fine and is able to browse the internet.

    The network status indicator on Windows products cannot always be trusted.  Windows uses its own algorithm to determine its connectivity by checking a few resources on the web.  In a nutshell if Windows can make it to the resources then it declares itself internet connected or otherwise.  What you should do is your own troubleshooting to determine what is truly going on.
    First step is to check your IP Address.  Windows will display a 169.254.xxx.xxx IP if it is not completely connected to the current router/jetpack.  If that is the case then your laptop has not been accepted onto the router and you should check your connection credentials or recreate your connection profile.
    The next step if you have a normal and good IP address is to manually check the internet by browsing to a website.  Even though your computer cannot communicate the way it wants to that doesn't always mean that all internet communication is having a problem.  You should always try a simple browse to Google or another popular search engine or website when experiencing problems to confirm the scope of the situation.
    Pending on how these first two simple checks go you should proceed one way or another.  Chances are there is a wireless profile conflict on your Vista machine for your Jetpack. The best course of action would be to wipe the wireless profile and start over from scratch.  I'd start here and work my way outwards.

  • IPod Corrupted only on this Laptop help

    Hey,
    I got this strange issue with my iPod since yesterday and I've been browsing the web for solutions but so far nothing worked yet.
    When i connect my ipod to my laptop itunes shows it as corrupted, also the name i gave it on purchase is gone it just says "ipod" in itunes now.
    Also ... on "my computer" the ipod is not shown as an actual ipod but as a removable disc (G:) ...
    As iTunes suggested i tried restoring the iPod to defaults with iTunes, I did this about 7 times now and it still shows like writen above...
    Next I decided to reset the iPod manually by holding the well-known buttons... still no results ...
    Then I went browsing the web for results and one of these was changing the Drive name ... To be very sure no other drive would get close to the new allocation I gave it X, now the iPod is recognized by my laptop as "Removable Disc (X:)" but still no results in iTunes, still corrupted.
    Next up was a solution saying I should format the ipod through windows, I tried the normal and the quick format but both fail to complete.
    And to make everything even more confusing, when I plugged the iPod into a different laptop everything was fine!
    So with full of hope I connected the iPod back to this laptop again but no... nothing... still the same problems....
    Can annyone tell me what to do ?
    please?
    I can't survive the journey to school and work without my iPod if you get what I mean...
    Thanks so much in advance

    I'm having the exact same problem as well. My iPod wont work with my laptop but is fine with my computer at home. It says it needs to be restored, which I do, but then it just says it needs to be restored again, and again, and again. I see a lot of people with this problem but no one with answers. If anyone finds an answer I hope they post it here.

  • I have an iBook G4 and iTunes is no longer updating. The last update is 9.2.1 but it doesn't support my iPhone or iPad. Is there anything I can do to update iTunes or is my only recourse to update my laptop?

    I have an iBook G4 and iTunes is no longer updating. The last update is 9.2.1 but it doesn't support my iPhone or iPad. Is there anything I can do to update iTunes or is my only recourse to update my laptop?

    As Niel has suggested Mac OS X 10.5 Lepaord.
    But first of all make sure that your iBook is above 800Mhz and you have at least 512 Meg of memory. (1 GB recommended)
    Please note, that if you do install Mac OS X 10.5 on your iBook, it will not allow you to install the latest version of iTunes version 11. The most recent version of iTunes that can be installed would be 10.5, which will be compatible with your iPod touch 4th gen, provided it's not been updated to iOS 6.
    Sadly you can't install any version of Mac OS X above 10.5 Leopard, as it they requires an Intel processor, which your iBook G4 does not have.
    Hope this helps.

  • Having a bit of a nightmare with this laptop i have bought

    Hey, so i bought a second hand macbook pro 15 inch 2009 yesterday, it is to act as a sister computer to my imac for producing music on
    The guy who sold it to me sold me it with mountain lion on and final cut and some other programmes, however i didn't want mountain lion as i know a lot of my third party plug ins are not yet updated to work with it
    I want to have just lion on this laptop, so i have restored it, by using the original install disks back to its original state (i did do a time machine back up to a third party hard drive for future reference)
    However this laptop is now not letting me go past OSX 10.5.8, im guessing you had to buy 10.6? however i have already purchased lion on my imac and this computer was updated to mountain lion, does anybody know of a way i can get this laptop updated without forking out a lot of money? i want to achieve it to lion (which i have already purchased and is a downgrade from the operating system it was on), when i typed in the 10.6.0 software a lot of torrents came up, which i definately do not want to use,
    Thank you for any help!

    Right i understand now, thank you very much for the replies/ clearing things up.
    i know you say it is only $19, is this a discounted rate for the US? i am in the UK and i am looking on amazon some of the prices are £49-89 which seems a little steep?
    Also, can i just ask, my desktop imac is currently running lion, i am considering upgrading that to mountain lion eventually when i know my plug ins work, with this macbook pro i ran a time capsule back up on it to a third party external hard drive, as the guy sold it with final cut, office and some other software, when i ran the was running the restore i tried to boot it from the time capsule just to see what happend and i got an error message like 'the operating system from time capsule is newer than this computer please update it'
    If i was to upgrade my imac to mountain lion, and restore it with the time capsule i burnt from this laptop on the external hard drive, will this work and put the software etc. on to my imac? or will it cause a horrible mess?
    Thanks again

  • No hdmi port with this laptop?

    No hdmi port with this laptop?

    Only some laptops HDMI ports - of current models, the MacBook Pros do and the Macbook Airs don't. You can get adaptors from Thunderbolt (or Displayport on an older laptop, the plug is physically the same) to HDMI: for example this one.

  • EVERYTHING about this laptop is a problem

    I have had problems with this laptop since I purchased it last July. From ghost clicks on the track pad (which only words about 30% of the time anyway) to now, the touch screen completely stops working. I checked the driver and apparently it's working fine, but it's not because otherwise it wouldn't stop working. Screen starts working after restart, but stops soon after.
    Very disappointed with HP, not the kind of product you should be turning out. Would return if I could.

    MKasper18, welcome to the forum.
    When requesting help you should always include the make/model (i.e. p6-xxxx) of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of them.
    I suggest doing a System Recovery to see if that solves your problems.  You can initiate a Recovery by continually tapping "F10" as soon as the laptop is turned on.

  • White wire for wireless antenna missing? or does this laptop not need it?

    I popped off the back panel of my new laptop to see why my internet wasn't working all the time. Turned out the black wire for antenna wasn't pushed on all the way so it kept popping off and on-
    But I noticed the white wire is not there? I've had this laptop only 2 weeks so I was wondering if the new hp 15 inch touch screen laptop windows 8.1 has this missing on accident or made this way?
    I was just wondering if anyone knows if this is normal or if it was a oops by the company and missing the white wire?
    Thanks to anyone with an answer.
    I included the photo of what it looks like- I crossed out all info just in case-
    This question was solved.

    Hi:
    Some models with single band (2.4 GHz) wireless cards only come with one antenna.
    I have no idea why HP does this because two antennas even on a single band card would provide for better wireless reception.
    I can see by the part number on the wireless card that it is a Realtek 8188EE model which is a single band card.
    HP did not make a mistake and leave an antenna out.

  • Will this laptop suit my needs?

    Hi my current laptop is not powerful enough. It's a Toshiba Satellite P50-ABT2G22 http://www.pcworld.com/product/pg/1235609190/detail
    *Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.40 GHz)   
    *8GB DDR3L 1600MHz (4GB + 4GB)
    *1.0TB (5400rpm); Hybrid 8G Serial ATA hard disk drive  
    *2GB GDDR3 NVIDIA ® GeForce® GT 740M with Optimus™ Technology
    I make 1080p music videos with a lot of animation and heavy effects, which are usually around 6 minutes long. With my current laptop when about 2-3 minutes of the video is completed, RAM previews and updates in the composition monitor when changing things slow down to the point that i can't really finish the video. Each frame takes like 3 seconds to load. So i guess i need a new laptop.I'm pretty sold on MSI's Dominator pro 888, I just wanted to get some approval. Do you guys think this will get the job done? My only concern is that the processors are very similar. But with 4x more RAM, much better GPU, and the SSD, I'm hoping I'll be able to make my 6 minute, effects heavy, videos extremely smoothly, with no lag. What do you guys think?
    http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-gt70-dominatorpro888-p-6941.html?wconfigure=yes

    1TB HDD + 384GB SSD

    There is little way to forecast what will happen until someone tests it.  I just checked on this laptop and while I can overclock the GPU memory (GTX 765M) from 1000 MHz up to 1516 MHz and the results of our PPBM7 GPU assisted MPEG2.DVD test dropped from 78 seconds to to 57 seconds which is an appreciable improvement.  I think that on the GTX 880M they probably had to limit the power consumption for battery only usage to meet the laptop manufacturers specifications. 
    With this in mind and knowing that any real editing has to be done with the AC power brick all you will have to do is overclock the memory clock on the GTX 880M and you can boost the memory bandwidth accordingly.  It is a very easy operation.  I use EVGA's Precision X and here is what it looks like.
    Here is GPU-Z showing the operating memory clock now at 1516 MHz rather than the stock 1002 MHz and accordingly the new memory bandwidth is 97 GB/s rather than my normal specification of 64 GB/s.  If the GTX 880M has the same headroom for overclocking, you will be very happy with it.
    But even so check with Eric at ADK on their 8600HW or 8600TB because they are real experts on video editing and they do include lifetime tech support and can really fine tune the configuration.

    If your temps are back to normal then the only thing that I would do is to completely uninstall the Avast software. See Thomas Reed's excellent Mac Malware Guide and pay particular attention to the "Do I need a/v software" section. 99% of the time, you don't and Mr. Reed only suggests the use of two av apps.

  • Can This Laptop Be Used For Premier Pro CS6?

    Developed an interest in learning to edit video but have become confused in reading all of the posts about what is the true minimum hardware requirement/setup, as compared to what is listed as System Requirements by Adobe.  Probably best to start with my initial goals.
    Here is what I was looking at doing as this journey begins:
    Purchased Creative Suite 6 Production Premium Classroom in a Book(CIB) after reading a review it would be a better start than Premier Pro CIB, which I plan on getting, if one has no experience in this field.  During research feel that I would like to become a subscriber to the Creative Cloud as there are a number of products I would like to learn and use.  Basically, I am hopeful that I may use my current laptop for the beginning of my education and further down the road look at getting a more powerful system as knowledge/skills/requirements increase.  Initial video I wouild like to work with is that received from family members smart phones and will be looking at purchasing a simple video camera for short interviews and brief presentantions.  Will likely desire uploading some completed projects to the web.
    Current Hardware:
    Laptop:  Asus N53SV
    OS: Windows 7 64bit
    CPU: Intel i7-2670QM  2.2GHz Cores=4  Threads=8
    L3 Cache: 6mb
    RAM: 6MB
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000, NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M 1024 MB

                  E: Optical DVD-RW
                  F: USB 3 connected 2 TB Seagate GoFlex External HD
    If this laptop can be used with current hardware, I wouild sincerely appreciate any suggestions for how to best utilize what is available to begin learning Premier Pro CS6.  As I will not have any time schedules that will have to be met I can accept that this may not be the ideal system.  Just hoping it can be a start.
    If any further information is required about the laptop please let me know and Thank You for your time with this question.

    That's not a bad setup at all to get started with small projects.
    We all have different budgets and patience. You may be OK with what you have. And if it seems too sluggish - your rig would be for me , the following would help Premiere Pro performance:
    - increase RAM to 16GB (about $140 per eBay pricing from a seller with high ratings a few minutes ago)
    - add another drive; my favorite choice with your laptop would be a Seagate Momentus 750gb drive installed in a NEWmodeUS.com optical bay caddy (slips into your laptop)

    Exactly what I have done, and it is great.
    You can get the caddy here:

    I had this setup for my old HP and have a caddy ready to install for my new Dell Precision as well. You can either get an external house for your DVD drive, or get an external one - they are quite cheap.
