    I'm wondering what the normal cpu and vid card temperatures should be...

    I was looking into upgrading the ram on my laptop, and noticed a sticker between the cpu and heatsink, so I took the heatsink off, and the sticker wasn't in the way. So I applied some Artic Silver 5 to the cpu and the video card. After, I downloaded HWMonitor, and it reads 55 - 70oC for both the video card and cpu... just wondering if this is normal, or should I try to reseat them?

    Ok, good to hear.. from what I seen between the gpu and the heatsink, I can see why you have much higher temps... the 'thermal paste' they used might as well be double sided tape... 1/16th thick, and spongy.. lol... the cpu wasn't too bad, but, God knows how good the thermal paste they use actually is..

    Next thing to look into.. integrating bluetooth, and have it work work with the bluetooth button... ;)
