I am not sure if will see any temp changes; the cpu will sure then not throttle anymore and the temp might be the same.
The cpu on my ex (laptop of course ^^) also throttled but when I bought my zalman NC3000 the cpu ran on the reference speed as it should but the didn't go down (maybe 5C down). If you can take the bottum case of, do it and makes some holes, with a tool that can make holes through plastic, especially where the gpu and the cpu is.
Will look into it. Anything to stop it over heating. I don't know but is it bad if the computer keeps over heats?
can damage the components. What temps does the cpu and the gpu have?
Windows will most likely shut down in order to prevent overheat.
Overheat is when the temp is higher than the cpu tolerates as max. Lets say your cpu is made to tolerate 100C, if cpu is hotter than that then the cpu is overheated.
My i7-2630qm get for about 80C at full load with or without the gpu active due to turbo boost, but that's okey and nothing that worries me since it can take 100C and it also has it's own sensors.
I will look what temps your cpu can take. What I can say is that the gpu (any gpu) should not reacher higher 100C (90-95 is normal for a high-end gpu when it shares the heatsink with the cpu.). Use HWMonitor and post a pic of it. show one when the laptop is idle and one at full stress (keep it started, start a game and play it for 30min or so.).
