    I run on a MSI GX640 i7 q740 cpu with 8 gb ram and a mobility 5850 OC: 800/1050 Stock: 625/1000

    Is my vantage score of 9520 considered okay for this setup?

    My laptop also tend to get hot under gaming it stays between 80 and 85 degrees on CPU and GPU, is this okay? (after modding its now max 65 degrees under gaming)

    I use a notebook cooler from cooler master with 2 fans.

    look at where your scores are compared to other on the orb.

    i think that score is fine.

    based on what i've seen on notebookcheck, your score is good. The highest score on their reviews is like 7K in vantage with the 5850m. So 9100 is good. Are you overclocked?

    http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-Radeon-HD-5850.23069.0.html

    With regards to your temps, 80-85 is about right for the stock paste job. If you want to lower it by 10c, you can repaste both CPU and GPU with a quality thermal paste

    The score's ok, I wouldn't rave about it though.

    And as the guy above me stated, try using thermal paste to lower down the overall temperature of the computer.

    Your temps are fine if you can get them lower that is good, but they are not that high. Also I score 11k on a single 5870, so That is about right for a 5850.

    thats correct sir, but i also opened the back and put it on my laptop cooler which blows directly on CPU and GPU.

    Works great since i never move my laptop anyway
