    Mine runs at like high 80+ when gaming. Is it supposed to do this? If not is there a way to fix this problem? Also where should I get drivers from?

    Im assuming thats degrees celcus. Yes its well within spece. My desktop 6200 is idling now at 48C, and its slow down threshold is 145C, thats the computers setting not mine. Now that is a desktop card and may be allowed to run a bit hotter than a notebook card, but 80C is ok.

    You can get the stock drivers from dell's site, or directly from nvidia @ nvidia.com. Or you can get "performance" or "quality" drivers from Laptopvideo2go.com.

    I would say if the temp goes over 100C+ then I would shut down and let it cool off for a while, but it likley wouldnt go that high unless the vents are blocked/clogged, or if you've done some major overclocking.
