    The cpu looks pretty hot! I don't know about the Crysis, but cpu I have hits 82 while playing GTA 4 for 1-2 hours, and it's very cpu intensive game.

    BTW, what about gpu temps?

    HWinfo + the statistic server (RTSS) you can get from the installation of MSI afterburner :)

    I don't like anything over 90. It's not immediately harmful, but temps creep up as ventilation gets clogged.

    Try ThrottleStop. You can set your CPU multiplier to a moderate level and control the GHz. If you're getting 90C with Turbo Boost on, roll back the multiplier from Turbo down a few notches and try that. It also gives you GPU temps.

    You can also underclock your GPU, but obviously that's not desirable.

    Try propping the back end of your laptop up half an inch or so. Could help a bit.

    Sounds like the OP is a candidate for a repaste, probably got one of Dell's crappy paste jobs...95C is HOT. My 2720QM hits 90C in Prime95, but low 80s in actual usage (ie gaming) is peak.
