[NVIDIA] CPU temperature went up since driver ver.416.34 was released?

[Linerax]

For Nvidia users who track their CPU temperatures, have you seen an increase in temperature? Nothing in my room has changed to affect my computer except that the air feels cooler because of the coming winter. Within my computer, I have not downloaded any program(s) that would affect CPU usage. Therefore, the only variable that changed is the Nvidia driver. I was at 75 C when the driver version was 398.82, but I'm currently at 80 C - 85 C.

Yeah, I'm on a laptop. I did a rollback to 411.70 and the CPU temps improved from 80 C to 75 C, but temps stayed the same (85 C) for Astera. I assume I won't see much improvement with previous driver versions after 398.82, so I will play in 1600x900 Windowed mode instead of 1920x1080 Borderless Window with latest driver (416.34).

Specs:
Win 10
1920x1080
Nvidia GTX 970M (desktop equivalent: GTX 770)
Intel i7-4720HQ @ 2.6 GHz
16 GB RAM

Try disabling turbo boost. It doesnt help anyway (ar least in my experience). Looking at the tradeyard in Astera is very demanding in both C/GPU. Maybe thats why, and since both are in load, and C/GPUs being in the same chip on laptops, they directly influence each other's temperatures

Edit: I forgot to say to disable turbo boost at your own risk. Resarch before doing it. In my case I never read anything about disabling it causing bad stuff, but I dont want to ne held responsible for possible damage

It could be a number of reasons when was the last time you cleaned out the tower and all? (dust off) It could be my PC is old but got a GTX 1070 ti with win 7. i never seen my pc reach any numbers above 67 - 69c.

OP has a laptop so 75C+ is going to be normal for him unless it's a very nice full-size gaming laptop with great cooling like the MSI GT73VR Titan Pro, etc.

Ah yeah i was going to say either laptop? or PC? laptops tend to heat up more quicker. Though i questioned my friend why his HP envy 360 never seems to reach 75c i always see his stay around 69 - 72c and he does not use any add-on's.

Wonder what kind of labtop the op has. The thing i worry if i ever had a laptop was cooling and if the vga fan fails.

The laptop is ASUS ROG G751JT and I cleaned it at the end of August 2018. Also, I replaced the stock factory thermal paste with Arctic Silver 5.
