    I think my XPS 1530 is getting way too hot. When I'm playing games, the GPU can get up to 80 degrees and the CPU gets up to 70.

    those temps are fine.

    as long as they do not float past those temps by 10-15C degrees.

    thats not good Paper.

    you need to get more cooling (like a good notebook cooler) to prevent hardware damage from such a high temp.

    and make sure to not block the vents... as well as regularly flush out the dust in the vents with compressed air.
