While running a light weight game using the onboard card, I think the temp, according to GPU-Z (I turned it on the moment I crashed out with a display error), nvlddmkm message, which I'm sure many of us are familiar with. I concluded it to be overheating as my room/house is extraordinarly warm this morning. The game was working fine for 3 weeks and absolutely no changes to my hardware/software was done.
Anyway it was in the 69 C range and slowly dropped after my game crashed.
Left my laptop on idle for a while and it stayed at 60 C, and then turned my 260m on and continued for a period of time, with the onboard still idling at 60C and the 260m at 41C
Kinda weird, or is it meant to be like this lol.
EDIT: Nothing is overclocked, just though I'd mention.

That's how hot the 9400M normally runs, so you're fine.

Oh ok then. Switched to 260m now and the temp doesn't seem to be going up anymore yet. Thanks for the info!
The 9400m onboard temp, on average, what should it be?
