Hello everybody! I have an ASUS R510C laptop with an Intel integrated graphics card and an NVidia GeForce GT 720M discrete graphics card.

I have problem of overheating of temperature of my graphic card and CPU.I think the reason is the level 2 of performance started without use of any application 3d;

Count of performance levels: 2

Level 1 - "2D Desktop"

GPU Clock 270 MHz

Memory Clock 405 MHz

Shader Clock 540 MHz

Level 2 - "3D Applications"

GPU Clock 775 MHz

Memory Clock 800 MHz

Shader Clock 1550 MHz

So getting heat and heat more than on the times when I played games (more than 80 ̊C when I have the problem, after I played games I check the temperature less than 75 ̊C)

So I found a solution but not final or professional is deactivate than activate the graphic card GeForce from Device Manager, I see in Speccy (software) and the temperature will begin decrease until 49-50

And the level of performance is 1, than I don’t have this problemuntil the next restart the windows.

Thanks for reading; I wish you could give me a final solution or explanation

There's probably a lot of dust in the air vents, buy a can of compressed air or blow it out gently with an air compressor.


My old laptop CPU went up to 74 degrees C when playing a flashgame on facebook, after the dust was out it went to about 45 degrees or so.

Don't laptop GPUs operate at insanely high temperatures by default?

dust is only part of the problem.
if i understedn correct op he has issues with switching gpu states. his gt720 is stuck at 3d clocks while it is used in destop environment.

@tayeb do you use smart switching between gpus (gt720 for 3d apps, integrated graphics for destop stuff) or you are using only gt 720 as graphic device.
where did you got your vga drives from, asus or nvidia.

I wouldn't say insanely but yes they run generally hotter than desktop hardware but if he blows out the air vents the temps might improve a bit.
