    Thanks Guys, I just downloaded HWmonitor, after an hour+ Counterstrike Source session my temps for CPU+GPU were around 50-55 degrees celcius. After Idling for a while the cpu dropped down to around 44-55 degress celcius. GPU just under 50 degrees. Are these good readings for a new M15x?

    Yep.
    Mine usually idles around high 40's - low 50's... and when I'm gaming it can go up to 60...
