hey guys, exactly as the title say i have serious throttling when I use my discrete 7670m and it is because the cpu temps rises to high (95c). When i use the IGP its fine but discrete causes the processor to get hot. I think this might be caused by the IGP as I don't think it powers down when not in use. Please I would appreciate if someone can give me a response ASAP as i want to know if I need a cooling pad.
p.s My laptop is the aspire v3 551g but under doesn't heat up at all
 


Do you have the latest AMD drivers installed?

I would verify that you do not have any dust your anything in the computer. The dedicated card is not part of the CPU and would be under a different heat sink then the CPU.

1) Check for the latest drivers
2) Check for dust
3) Buy cooling pad
4) Apply better thermal paste
5) RMA the product
