    I've noticed that when I play my casino game (Hoyle Casino) my CPU temp is @80-85c, the GPU runs @45c-no real detailed graphics to the game. When I play crysis, Metro 2033, COD 4 MW, Dead Space 2 or NFS most wanted the CPU temp maxes @70-75c, and GPU is @ 50-65c. I play on average anyone game @2-3hrs when nothing else to do.

    Any idea why the casino game gets higher temps than other games? I'm guessing my CPU is working harder doing the calculations in the casino game? (LOL-math is giving my lappy a hard time).

    85C is ridiculously high for a simple casino game. The math involved with probability and statistics (at least when limited to 52 possible cards), is nowhere near the CPU load needed to play Metro 2033.

    Ha, Metro 2033 doesn't even use 60% of the CPU... 40-50 ish of the CPU 0 and that's all. Other cores are ranging 0-10%.
