    Just got my new laptop 1/2 a week ago and installed a clean 7 on it. My idle temperatures are as follows:

    Processor (T9800): ~43 degrees
    ATI: ~48 degrees
    HDD (500 GB 7200 RPM): ~40 degrees
    Motherboard: ~44-50 degrees

    This is at idle! When I game for a while, all temperatures hover at ~60 degrees. Is this normal? My old laptop with a T5750 idles at 19 degrees for the processor, does the T9800 produce this much extra heat? Also, if other 1640 users can post their specs and temperatures it'd be great. Thanks!

    Yeah, that's pretty standard for a laptop. My M1530 is around the same. As long as the CPU isn't over 75*C at any point you're fine. Ditto the GPU.

    Thoose temps are fine. Here are mine after undervolting the CPU and re-applying thermalpaste(AS5).
