    I was playing CSS with CPUID open in the background. I was surprised when the I saw the temperature readings for the GPU and CPU.



    While I was playing I didn't notice any glitching or lagging of any sort. Are the idle and gaming temperatures normal for this laptop?

    CPU is hot but reasonable but GPU is off the charts.
    Make sure to clean the vents with canned air (gas duster) and consider applying new high quality thermal compound.
