    I just bought a new laptop, Dell Inspiron N5110 with GT 525M. The problem is, when I play for example Assassin Creed Brotherhood on the Highest settings and HD, the laptop reach to:


    GPU:85
    HD0:46
    Temp1:85
    Core 0:75
    Core 1:75

    Is that normal??

    What processor do you have? And what is your ambient room temperature?

    Those temperatures honestly aren't horrible, seeing as the cooling system is similar from the N5010, and barely could cool 35 watt processors + DGPU.

    The CPU temperatures are acceptable, considering that was the same I was getting for my last generation Arrandale Core i3-380M, and Sandy Bridge was developed by Oregon and has a radically new Turbo Boost system. GPU is on the hot side, but again, crummy cooling system. I've seen some 5470 reach 100C+ in the N5010.
