Forget all of the above.

There was just about 3 tons of dust in the GPU's fan... That's why the temperature was skyrocketting AND Tthrottle was unable to keep the temperature down (the fan was probably rotating at 100% speed permanently).

Sorry for polluting  the forum and thanks for your great soft!

Hi Tthrottle users.

I'm encountering a small problem.

I installed Tthrottle and it seems to be working fine : the graphics show the temperature increasing, etc.

I have also checked "Auto Active" .

However it doesn't seem to control the temperature: I've run Minecraft (which is a Java application that uses hardware-acceleration 3D libraries) and I see the temperature go way above the 80°C that I set up: it went around 110 degrees, and eventually crashed the computer. The same happened at every attempt.

It's not caused by the GPU-greedy piece of software itself, because I also tried with another specialized tool ("OCCT"), that is supposed to monitor the temperature AND run tests on your GPU and CPU to see if they are faulty. OCCT has a reputation of being good at preventing your GPU from frying during its stress tests. Yet, the temperature went around 110°C, and then the computer crashed and rebooted.

Did I gorget something? Is it an incompatibility with my hardware?
I've tried disableing the "smart fan" in the BIOS -- after that the fan rotates full speed and my computer sounds like it's going to take off. That slows down the temperature rise, but it always eventually reaches the critical point where the computer crashes.

So, what's going on? Is there another setting in TThrottle that I didn't see? Some subtle feature? (e.g. Tjunction temperature).

For the record: I have an Acer Aspire M5810 (exact model: FF7R), which contains a GeForce GT 220 and an Intel Core i5-750. There is only 2GB RAM.
