    Hello, i have dell xps L501x i7 740qm and i am thinking if goes to high temp. So when i use convert x to dvd program the cpu frequency reach the 2600 MHz and cores temp about 75 C to 85C . Is this normal? Isn't it too hot? I have it on a cooler pad with 3 fans.
    Thank you very much.:thumbsup:

    Sounds normal to me. I can easily hit the 90C when I'm gaming on my L502x.
