Anyone experiencing artifacting on G53SX? When my GPU heats up to around 70 degrees (under gaming), the blacks turn to a flickering red, and whites turn to flickering teal. So take a dark, horror game for example, the entire screen will be red instead of black / dark colours  I've tried updating, downgrading & also using the ASUS official GeForce drivers to no avail. I also found out I can't manually control the fans in this notebook so I can't use RivaTuner or MSI Afterburner or the likes. I have to far gone up to dismantling the back panel and blowing cold air using a hairdryer thru it (no dust came out). Will this mean I need to repaste it? I don't have confidence to dismantle the entire thing including the LCD to access the GPU heatsink... Other than that the laptop functions normally, and without load the GPU runs at about 45-50. |

QUOTE(horns @ Jun 18 2013, 02:06 PM) first, if you're using the latest gforce 320.18 driver, please replace it with older versions. there has been reports about the suspicion of that version causing many similar artifacts that you described (up until frying the gpu). it looked like the signs of defective gpu's 70c should not be a big deal normally (in fact that's a good temperature for gpu imo; normally we have around 73 to 75c under load). however, it's still better to clean the fans and vents up; if possible replace the thermal paste on the gpu too. you can observe the temperatures of your gpu with hwinfo64 sensors page. leave the page opened while you play games normally. after the game, check your max temperature for gpu. It was the display! I hooked up a secondary monitor and no problem at all after that, peaking at 76 degrees.  Thanks for your help  This post has been edited by phoenixxx: Jun 18 2013, 09:24 PM |
