Very hot Asus G1s-A1

Hi, I recently formatted my Asus G1S-A1 and after installing Speedfan, I noticed my computer was running at extremely hotter temperatures than before the reformat. I'm unsure if I installed a program, before the format, to keep the temperature down but the latest temperatures have been worrying me.

The current temperatures read as :
GPU: 84C
HD0: 59C
Temp1: 91C
Core 0 : 75C
Core 1: 75C
Overall temperature shown: 82-90C

The Core temperatures tend to rise to the 80s sometimes. I'm pretty sure this is very "unhealthy" for my computer but i'm not sure what to do.

I have a cooling pad but it rarely brings down the temperature and I have cleaned my laptop several times.

Is there any program I can install to bring down the average temperature of my laptop?

 

That's pretty warm. I have heard reports that speedfan's temp reporting is less than accurate. Have you tried CPUID's HWMonitor? That may give you more accurate results. Regardless, you may want to clean out your heatsink...

Edit:
I just discovered the joys of undervolting and have seen a decrease of 5c on average from a non-undervolted state, with no impact on performance. I'm using RMClock, there is a set of instructions on this site on how to set up and use this program.

 

Is there any simpler way to fix this problem?

I've read over the instructions for the RM Clock and downloaded however I have no idea what to do with it, even with reading the instructions online.

My base knowledge of computers/laptops is very minimal and I don't understand the language well.

have you tried cleaning the fans from dust?

 

It's a G1S-A1. Those temps are normal. This would ring alarm bells for most other laptops but not for these unfortunately. Most suggest this will give them a somewhat short lifetime, and I'm tempted to agree. The only reason I don't worry about it is because
I didn't buy mine with my own money

 

Speedfan is known to have issues with later model Asus units, and can in some cases screw up the ACPI monitoring/management and prevent the fans from starting/running at the prescribed temps..... on the G1, this can be catastrophic as it tends to run hot anyway (as others have said).

Uninstall Speedfan at the earliest opportunity. There are other temp monitoring software packages out there that will accomplish the goal.

Only option really for the G1 to reduce temps are to cut holes in the chassis (as has been described in other threads) or undervolt the cpu (which you are reluctant to do - and this should only be done if you have some inkling of what you're doing, so you're correct to be skeptical).
