    I used to play some NFS: Undercover lately. It heats my lappy up to 82 degrees Celcium. I was like o_O, when I saw zee temperature. The Everest crash test heats the lappy up to 68 max.
    P.S. I'm using 180.84 drivers. Downloading GTA 4 atm, wonderin' if it's gonna make zee lappy overheat even moar. ^.^

    82 degrees is fine.
    Anything above 90 you should start worrying. buy a notebook cooler if your paranoid :D

    AMD says 95 degrees is official burn-out temperature for the Turion. 80+ is hot anyway.

    Turion is your cpu.

    It will most likely have a different temp to your gpu.

    . GPU ain't gettin' heated up higher than 75, it's all fine with it. The CPU just keep doin' it wrong.
    Fact: playin' GTA 4 doesn't make the system heat more than 66. It's an unplayable slideshow even if I'm usin' the minimal graphics, but anyway. There's something wrong with Undercover makin' my system heat up to 80+ T_T

    Btw, I might have thought the problem is lackin' the chipset drivers. Everest says it's "Acer Aspire 7520", "AMD Hammer" bus. Do the drivers even exist?
