    I can't find any clear guidelines for what max temps are in my notebook. Does anyone know what the maxes are for my setup? Surfing the internet and playing music I'm running at (F)
    90 cpu, 123 gpu, 120 memory, 118 chipset, 122 hard drive.

    My peaks so far are in the same order: 127, 125, 129, 123, 122.

    Temps in C please...

    What are you using to measure temperatures? I8KfanGUI, NHC or something else?

    I8kfangui,

    My maxes so far don't matter because i haven't done anything except go on the internet. I really just want to know what the maximum they can handle before breaking is but anyways,

    56 Cpu, 65 gpu, 55 mem, 53 chipset, 47 harddrive

    basic guidelines are as follows:
    it would be nice for CPU to stay under 60C (CPU will start to overheat at temps over 90C)
    GPU should stay under 75C (it starts to cook around 100C)
    memory and chipset should not get much hotter than 55-60C degrees
    Hard drive should stay under 50. Mine runs at 34-40C, but I'm in a cooler climate than you ;)

    ok thanks,

    Yeah, its quite cooler up there. We had a nice 75 high though. I am lucky enough to get out of here during the 115 degree summer to my family's lakehouse in Wisconsin in the summer though
