    Why do you want to buy one? Does your laptop overheat?

    CPU: 40-55
    HDD: 44

    LOAD
    GPU: @84
    CPU: @65
    HDD: @49

    Your CPU is quite cool actually. As for the GPU, usually they ran hotter than the CPU, and they are in the cool side too. The nVidia 8600M I had was reaching 90c (after modding the colling system, and almost 100c before mod.
