    What's yours? Lets compare so we can help each other determine if they are running too hot...

    Mine is about 68 Idle (no OC)

    Load is probably in the 80's

    I have yet to actually stare at my temp reader while it's idle, but my laptop continuously goes from 70 to 80. Once it hits 80 or so, the fans turn on until it cools down to 70/71. The process is continuous. Up, down, up, down. A lot of other people with the 7800 experience the same thing, so I'm not too worried about it.
