Lak3rsFan, I've read these 7750G's can be a real beeyatch to tear apart. My temps aren't bad at idle or running games. I'm not willing to break the case just to put Artic Silver on it. Good luck if you try.
I've searched high and low for some kind of dissemble guide/manual with no result.

Look here what x.treme encountered (2/3 down page): http://forum.notebookreview.com/acer/663001-acer-aspire-7750g-owners-thread-3.html

Yeah, saw that earlier..wish it was easier -.-...

I mean my temps are fine, just wouldn't mind making em lower.

I use a can of compressed air to blow out the vents and fan every week or two. Much easier

Love seeing the dust fly!

 

[Lak3rsFan]

Hahahaha me too!

Just for my info..

Can you post your temps for me?

At idle: I'm about 40-45

When playing WoW: 50-65

Just wanna see how I fall in the spectrum.

I assume your talking GPU temps. That's about exact to mine, no WoW but have Amnesia which is pretty intensive and reads the same as you. I'm one of the few adventure gamers left.

You do realize you can increase default fan speed in OverDrive and get more custom fan settings with AfterBurner?

 

[Lak3rsFan]

Really? So I should download overdrive and Afterburner? Are they freeware?

 

[popeye1953]

You can enable OverDrive in CCC using MSI AfterBurner and also use AfterBurner as a stand alone. I like the CCC interface myself. Wait a few and I will link to another post I made on how to do it.

This site?

MSI Afterburner

 

[popeye1953]

That's it and yes it is free

 

[Lak3rsFan]

Nice!

For some reason, my core clock is maxed to 600mHz and memory is at 800..

How did some of these guys get to 750/1000??

Did you do as I said in the linked thread? The batch file if you want OverDrive in CCC and the statement in the config file to unlock clocks for AfterBurner.
You have to reboot.

My limits show 780/1040. I am happy at 700/950. Don't like to push it too much.

 

[Lak3rsFan]

Ah, I'll try it later tonight.

Watch Sons of Anarchy right now!

 

[Lak3rsFan]

Just created the bat file, going to reboot!

No cable, stuck with crappy broadcast TV. Did you run the batch before reboot and get the message?

 

[Lak3rsFan]

Yes got the message, just did the restart and it's there!

What's the safest setup to go with? (For gaming)

Really subjective. I never pushed to crash point. Guess if you like to live dangerous you can experiment with higher values. Seems the 700/950 works for me, just be sure to boost fan speed too.

GPU Caps Viewer is a good program which also has tests that can tell you what changes did, if anything. It tests both GL and CL.

 

[Lak3rsFan]

What should I boost fan speed to? I went with 700/950 as well. Right now, I have it set to auto

Well, if one of the newer DX11 games I would boost it to at least 75% while playing. There is also GPU-Z which will monitor you temps in the background while you play and keep a log if you want.

 

[Lak3rsFan]

So boost it to 75% and keep it manual? Or..boost to 75% then go back to auto?
