    I'd say hot, try to under-volt the thing.

    I think you need to make sure the heatsink and fan are clear of gunk, and re-apply some fresh thermal paste.

    Undervolting and cooling is the best combo. AS5 helps a lot too.

    75 is not too much while gaming for hours - if it is stable and cools fast when you end the game.

    My go 7400 reaches 70's easily after a few momemts of gaming, and mid 60's when idle. Have used it intensively for hours at a time without problem at these temps. Notebook cooler didn't really help.

    Read through the cooling guide. Your fan and heatsink may need a cleaning.
