Large temperature using Nvidia and video-modesetting

Hi all! I have a laptop with Nvidia Optimus technology. But when I use Nvidia and "video-modesetting", then I have a big temperature without load.~75-80 degrees. How it fix? Bumblebee is not enough, because it produces not a great performance.
Kernel - 3.16.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 14 07:40:19 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Version driver Nvidia - 340.32-1

Re: Large temperature using Nvidia and video-modesetting

Re: Large temperature using Nvidia and video-modesetting

I install Nvidia Optimus by this instruction: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L … timus.html
I dont have /dev/nvidiactl and /dev/nvidia[0-9]+. Why? How to create these devices?
Thanks!
