    Is it normal for the temperature to rise up to 68° C. I play Grid.

    If you're talking about the GPU, yea, if you have an 8800 or 9800 series card, they produce a lot of heat and the M15X is not only a smaller laptop, its cooling system isnt the best. Assuming you downloaded the BIOS update, that should be relatively cool in comparison with the temps it used to hit.

    For the GPU, 68 deg C isn't high at all.

    not high, im glad my GPU doesn't go over 90C when i run graphic instensive games here. if you have 9800GT or 8800GTX temp going upto 90 is pretty common
