9800m GS/GT VERY hot

Hi guys,
I use an Asus g50VT-X1 laptop that has either a 9800m GS (as shown when I just updated the driver, as well as the sticker) OR a 9800m GT (as shown by all my gpu programs like GPUZ before the driver update).
Anyhow it runs..
quite hot.


For instance, when I'm playing a game the graphics card can hit up to 105 Celsius.
This seems to throttle the graphics card and drop my fps to around 3.

Even idling yesterday/ Just using AIM and the internet (without videos, generally reading) my GPU stayed in the mid to low 70s.


At this moment, with 1 Internet window open (Chrome) + GPU-Z, I'm getting a temperature of 67 degrees.

I tried to use a few programs, but RivaTuner and SpeedFan don't seem to work (Rivatuner lacks the fan adjustment tab and SpeedFan does not detect any fans).
Expertool gives me some sort of error, due to an incorrect display.

I do not know what company made my graphics card (other than nVidia), otherwise if it is EVGA I may try their program.

This is getting frustrating, getting throttled on a game is NOT fun, especially when it is online.


Anything you guys can offer? Oh, since I did not have any canned air, I used a hair dryer on the cool settings to see if I could dislodge any dust.
