    Okay so i ran a test game on the laptop last night to see how hot it gets. it wasnt even a graphic or cpu intensive game. The game is called Combat Arms. Its a Multiplayer FPS. I noticed that the temperature jumped up to the 84's. Now is that normal and should i just get a cooling pad? Or is there some kind of a software / hardware problem. On idle when only browsing the web, it stays around the 50's.

    If i do need to get a cooling pad, What is a good cooling pad that would help this exact laptop model? because most the cooling pads have fan on the bottom and the bottom of this laptop never gets hot. its only the left side vent that gets really hot. I guess im asking what are some good pads that would specifically help the heating problem of this specific laptop model?

    Thank you!
