Alright... i hear everyone talking about how notebooks get hot... but if the AUX is infact the GPU... im running @ 102 Celcius while in CS Source.



I pray to god that isn't normal

Woah... thats crazy. Kind of scary. I don't have anything to check the temperature, but nothing gets too hot and the fans don't go crazy for me. What is the AUX anyways?

I'm not really sure... its not the chassis... not the HD... or the CPU... not the chipset... the only other thing I could think of it being is the nVidia 6600. Sounds like a problem to me... or am i just over reacting? I've been having problems running CS source... it likes to restart from time to time....

Check out Everest... its free and it seems pretty awesome. It doesn't log the temps however... i had to Alt tab out of it to check out the temps... Anyone have any experience with Everest? Anyone know what else AUX could be?

From what I gathered, there isn't a good temp probe on the 6600 GO version. It is only on the 6800 GO or 6600 GT (desktop).

Can you recomend a probe for me that monitors the GPU temp?

I have no idea which software will work. I've tried to ask the nvidia forum a few times and the answer I got was the 6600 GO itself does not have a good probe on the GPU.

I found one... but you have to edit some bios crap... turning 10001010 into 1000010 or some bs like that

i too much of a puss to do that though

I believe the one you found is for the 6600 GT, desktop version. There is a BIOS mod just like you mentioned above, but that ONLY applies to the 6600 GT and it is the desktop version. Which does have a temp probe on the gpu

I know this is a desktop card, but you should be able to just right click the desktop, go into properties, settings, advance, there should be a tab for your card. From there just check the temp.

yeah, that doesn't work for the mobile version. I'm wondering if the Aux temp might be the display/monitor.

hmmm... I guess i don't understand why that particular temp would be so high compared to the rest of them. It's over 30 degrees Celsius higher than the processor!

I know! This beast gets freakin' hotter then hell according to it... maybe, if I can get my hands on another app that tells the GPU temp, i can prove it wrong (because you could boil water @ those temps)

Hey DJ... think you could run EVEREST while playing CS and then tab over like I did to see what the AUX temp is at? If yours is at 100 something... then I'll know it just isn't mine.

That goes to all the Z71 owner... I just wanna see if it is only me

:edit: srry for the double post

I tried it while playing an online game and running a Windows Media HD Video at the same time. My Aux temp only goes up to 70.

Nothing nearly as demanding as Cs:S. It's called Runescape. Hmmm... is there a free way to play a graphic-intensive game? (I'm cheap, and since I'm not so much into first person shooters, I only want to pay for stuff that interests me.)

hurm... well the comparison would only really work with.... we could always load 3Dmark05. Not sure why I didn't think about that. Its free! what do you think? Would you be willing to run that free prog? I'm sure that will have no problem getting the vid card pretty hot
