    I tried searching the forums but I didn't find anything about average temperatures people are seeing for their processors in the M17x-R3.
    I was just wondering if I was getting temperatures which are too high, and was looking for some other numbers to compare.
    I'm using Core Temp to monitor my temps and I'm getting around 50C when the laptop is idle.
    When actively using the laptop, average is 52C-57C, when power using I'm sometimes getting even 70C.

    Is there some sort of guide for doing that?

    Several guides to look for: Dane's got one, and X3NIA made a video not too long ago.

    Also, I get about the same as you in terms of cpu temps. Sometimes high 40s for idle, and at most I've seen is like 72C after playing Dolphin or SC2 for around 1hour.
