    HI Guys,


    Just bought my first laptop, decided on the M5A and am very happy at the moment! One thing concerns me though. It seems to reach quite hight temps? When I am just using Itunes etc it hovers around 50 to 60 degrees but when I am burning dvds or importing video etc it gets close to 90 and has overheated once already? Is this normal and can I set the fan to a higher speed? Any advice would be appreciated!
