    Getting in the 70s is completely normal for not being overclocked.

    You card isn't going to fry unless you're approaching 120~ or so. (I think, anyway. At the very least, you're no where near frying your card).

    It's a laptop GPU, I guess that the high temps are to be expected from most. Mine isn't even overclocked (and I keep meaning to build my own cooler for the damn machine..).
