    Asus ROG G752VY CPU Temp spikes when opening programs

    Have had this Laptop for about 1.2 months now. I'm very impressed with it's performance and the supposed "Vapor chamber", which keeps the GPU below 70 degrees consistently. However the CPU is obviously having issues: During demanding games it runs between mid 70s to almost 80 degrees which...

    So my laptop is pretty old and has recently been overheating on pretty much every game. I know all the common issues being thermal paste/fans not working/dust buildup.

    Monitoring CPU temps using MSI Afterburner?

    This may very well be a noob question, but I'm a bit confused in this part: http://i.imgur.com/Wugy5T6.png There are 8 "Cpu" temperatures that I can monitor and I'm guessing those are cores right? So if I have an I7 4770(non K) How many of those graphs do I need to select so I can monitor all...
