    Anybody find that their gpu temperatures go up while using the webcam? when i leave my dorm room for a short amount of time with the webcam motion sensor on, my gpu temperature goes up to about 67 c *threshold for fan to kick in*? i just want to know if anybody else experienced this? btw i have my laptop exhaust port about 6 inches away from a window so air flow goes in , average temp is about 56 c. ambient temp is 25 c
