    Thanks for your responses

    The fan is good, aparently, I updated the BIOS the other day and the temps went down 15 C at idle!!!!!

    Should I update the GPU drivers?

    What else can I do?

    I cannot send it for repair, I bought it in the USA and I dont live there anymore...

    Help guys

    It seems to be for the specific gpu/notebook

    Before he did the BIOS update it was like +80c idle and hes had that notebook for over a year or something. It would failed prematurely if it was that bad.
