Hi I currently game on my lenovo y570 laptop running on a GT555m GPU. Its pretty old but runs most games fine. Ive even upgraded it with a 256gb SSD and it does most everything at a pretty fast speed. However I recently downloaded a GPU program to track my GPU temp to test out overclocking the GPU and I noticed when I play games the GPU temp heats up to about 85-90C.
I read many forums saying thats way too high but I have probably been running at that temperature for the past 2 and a half years that I have had this laptop. Is that normal ? I have a laptop cooler pad already so Im not sure what else I could do.
The default / max resolution the laptop screen can run at is 1366 X 768 but I have it hooked up to a dual monitor setup both at 1980X1080, Could that be the reason why the GPU is running at such a high temp ? as it was probably made to run off the laptop screen at 1366X768 but im running the GPU at dual 1980X1080 instead ?
Or is the high temp fine for this GPU and I shouldnt worry too much ? Also I have the laptop setting set to thermal dissipation mode so that it keeps the laptop as cool as possible.
