Gpu temperature n/a

[Emiel_]

Hello, i have a question about my computer.
As you can see on this screenshot --> http://prntscr.com/9hllgo
the gpu temperature is n/a and the fan 2 speed is 0 rpm.
But I am not that sure if I even have a Fan2.
Could someone help me with this?
Excuse me for my bad English :/

What GPU does your computer have, do you know if it has a graphics card in it, or just Intel HD graphics?

Hey, your computer has 2 graphics processors. One is an nVidia Graphics card, its temperatures will not be showing if not in use, like if you are not playing an intensive game. It will show the temperature and Fan speed when you start to use it ( you can configure this in the nVidia Control Panel.

The Computer will switch to the intel integrated graphics to save power when the good graphics are not needed.

When I am playing an intensive game (for example Gta V) the temperature is still n/a, does this mean that my nvidia graphics card is not used?
How do I fix this then?

 

[Benab3]

Go into your Nvidia control panel, manage 3D settings and then program settings. Under there select the game and there should be a drop down menu to select the Graphics Processor.

Some games aren't in the drop down menu (Gta V) for example.

Click the Add button and there will be a list, make sure for GTA you pick the actual game and not the launcher.

I did what u told me to, but the results in msi dragon gaming center are still the same, the temperature of the gpu is n/a and the fan2 speed is 0rpm.
I also noticed that one side of my laptop is becoming very hot, this is my concern

 

[Benab3]

Could you try MSI Afterburner to see if it has different results, and also, if the laptop just started to get hot, it is probably because it has started to properly use the nvidia Graphics card.

Can you tell me if i have a fan 2? If yes, can u tell me how to activate it?

I am fairly sure that you have a fan 2. If it is part of the nVidia Graphics card, then it should automatically start when the Graphics card gets hot enough. Since you changed the settings in the nVidia Control Panel, did GTA V play better?
