Inspiron 7577, Nvidia 1060 max-q temperature
Hi, so I have a Dell Inspiron 7577. It's about a year old . It uses the i7-7700HQ and Nvidia 1060 with Max-Q design processors and 16GB of RAM. When I first got it, everything was perfect. I play games on it occasionally up to an hour per session at 60fps. About 6 months in, I noticed games began to stutter, so I installed some monitoring tools. I found that some time after starting up a game, usually 5-10 minutes in, the GPU would reach a temperature between 83 and 85 degrees and it would remain there throughout. Also, the GPU would reach a utilization of 100% at which point the game's framerate would significantly reduced to around 15fps. When the GPU is at 99% the framerate reduces to 30fps. Doesn't matter what game I play or how low I set the settings, once the temperature reaches 83 degrees I know I'll be experiencing severe framerate drops from there on out. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Same problem here, we no longer get any decent performance off the 7577 with 16GB ram and the GTX10650 maxQ. This is already since last year also a little after a year of usage.
Same after 5 tot 10 minutes temperature reaches 84°C and slowly it drops from over 1000 Mhz to around 500Mhz in speed which makes is useless in games.
This should not happen and is definitely a problem with the inspiron 7577.
Any reaction from dell ?

Just to add we also lost the F1 and F2 keyboard keys in the left zone above where the unit gets very hot at around the same time. And also the left CTRL key no longer works, this happend all quite at the same time and probably is caused by overheating and bad ventilation of the 7577.

Hey there i also have the 7577. Regarding your problem i believe its what i had. As you might know our laptop has great ventilation for both fans so just as it 5ucks massive ammounts of air it also suck5 astounding ammounts of dust. After clearing only fans you will see a great improvement. compressed gas or air will do the job. Plus its a laptop so changing thermal paste is always a good idea(depending on usage every 1-2 years). UV your CPU might seem like a good idea but it can create problems in long run.
