Hi everybody,
I recently have some GPU Overheating problem on Bootcamp Windows 7 (64bit) on my almost 4 years old MacBook Pro (15inch - late 2008). I was using Windows 7 (32) for years but I updated to 64 bit since I am using 3D softwares mostly. I kind of begin to believe that it happened after I updated to 64 Bit Windows.
The games that I was playing until the update without any problem begun to slow down to 5-8 fps after a few minutes and thats when I figured out that it was a GPU overheating problem.
The benchmark tests showed me that the GPU temps are getting to 100-105°C and thats where the games begin to slow down. But I have tried the GPU benchmark tests in MacOs too but they were around 60-70 °C there. (Open GL in both Mac and Windows). I am not sure if I made the test as they should be but I want to believe that Windows or the drivers there are responsible for that.
Any info would be appreciated if you have experienced such a problem. Thank you ...
My Mac:
2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
OS X 10.8.3 & Windows 7 Pro 64Bit
