I noticed that every time I try to train something or run stable diffusion, my 1060 reaches a temperature around 95deg, and everything slows down. If I keep using it, it actually shuts off my laptop immediately.Is this normal? I haven't opened or cleaned that laptop since I bought it in 2016, could doing some maintenance help? Extra info: It takes about one to two minutes to go from 60-70 degrees to 95 degrees, so it heats up rather quickly. But it takes over 10 minutes to fall back under 80 degrees. Maybe I should also set the fan speed manually to max?
>>107550124replace the thermal paste and clean out the dustis this your first day using a computer?
>>107550134Don't talk like that to normies, they require practical solutions, not some tinkertroon bullahit.>>107550124Submerge in mineral oil.
>>107550134No, I am just not a hardware guy ...
>>107550124>Is this normal?It is not desirable but it is "normal" in the sense that:Laptops have horrible coolingLaptops manufacturers use absolute dogshit quality thermal paste that degrades quicklyIn these conditions it is normal that heavy load can cause excessive heat and trigger overheating protection shutdown.>could doing some maintenance help?Yes.Clean the dust inside and repaste GPU with a decent paste like mx-4 or whatever.>>107550308Just pay bucks to your local PC repair shop to do that then.
>>107550308You can't be a good software guy without being a hardware guy. Find a new hobby, computers aren't for you.
>>107550654Why exactly
>my 10 year old budget graphics card is a piece of shit, halp me gee
>>107551973Yes.
>>107550124Use MSI Afterburner to set a custom fan curve, limit power draw and or max temp, or prioritize utilization based on power draw or temperatureGens will be slower but your laptop won't shutdown.
>>107550124check if you can set -pl power limit on nvidia-smialso what the fuck is wrong with you doing computations 1) on a laptop 2) on such fucking piece of shit
>>107550124>Is this normal?For a decade old laptop GPU running a stable diffusion workload? Yeah probably.
>>107550124If you continue with this, you will destroy your laptop. Get an eGPU.
>>10755012495 is pretty cool. Mine commonly gets above 200.
>>107554877What how>>107554877
>>107551829because software and hardware are intertwined. you will spend the rest of your life getting buttfucked by hardware issues (especially in networking) as you try to do more and more interesting things.
>>107550124Have you tried turning it on and off?>>107554877Cool. It doubles as a cheap heating and cooking alternative for your home.
>>107550124Unironically I wonder if you're troll. Laptops have awful, awful thermal headroom. If you're gonna do this, you probably want to just take out the whole thing out of the enclosure, at least the hot parts. Then you want to improve the cooling. A fan blowing hard on the parts might be good enough, but the best solution might be to install a desktop CPU heatsink type of thing, but will be risky because there is no attachment so it will be janky. You could also watercool, which would be the best solution, but this require proper DYI so I wont go there.You pretty much guaranteed to throttle over a longer period of time, so if possible undervolt/underclock your GPU and/or CPU.what you should actually do. Do some light maintenance and keep your laptop for study stuff, like one should(!). Then learn about computers. Then based on that put passive search queries on websites for parts. Wait for a good deal on old hardware. Pay around maybe less then 200 usd for good enough PC. Then also keep an eye out for people just unloading KGs of electronic shit, especially connectors. Congratz you now have what you need to tinker.
>>107551973ACKtually 1060 6GB was kinda midrange back in the day before nJudea shat the lineup and turned it into a glorified xx50 series>>107557316It definitely is a bait thread>1060>laptop(old)>haven't been cleaned in 10 years>tech support threadI'd say shit bait but he managed to bait all the retards above
>>107558322No it is genuine
