    No, they shouldn't be the normal temperatures, but they aren't dangerous yet - the SXPS 16 does run quite hot. I would make sure dust isn't clogging your heat vents.

    Also, keep in mind your ambient temperatures - if it's really hot in Chile, you're going to get higher temperatures. Maybe investing in a laptop cooling pad is a good idea.

    I would say yes, they are normal temperatures under such conditions. I have a T9600 with the same temps before undervolting. After undervolting they are almost 20C lower.

    Is that from personal experience or reviews? I myself have no problems with heat. under 75c for gpu when gaming with Empire Total War. and 70c for cpu. There is no heat issue.
