I was experiencing that stutter so I thought it was heat and checked temps with GetThermal and it reports that its at 100C right before the stutter begins in WoW with all fans turned on max. When out of a game the core temp idles at ~53-58 degrees.
So I decided to take the card out and crack it open and apply a new coat of thermal paste and replace the pads with ACTUAL paste.
That barely helped at all.. So I'm kinda out of ideas.. The fan intake is clean and the laptop is partly off the table so there is absolutely no constriction in airflow.
The reason (as far as my investigating tells me) is that the reason for the card to stutter like this is when the actual VBIOS (video-card bios) has a default throttle temp of 105 degrees. ( you can look at yours by using NiBiTor.)
Now my issue is this, is it REALLY running at 100 degrees?! Thats an INSANELY high temp. So my questions are what are your temps for the Go 7800 GTX in the 98x0? and what are you guys doing differently from what I am doing? Could it be a faulty sensor?
Thanks guys.
