    can you list your temperature with gtx670m when using furmark or any other stress test that crank up the load to 99% , i returned my laptop because my gtx670m is overheating to 96-97c and i need to have proofs that these aren't normal temperatures , so any input is really helpful :(

    96-97*C is pretty much overheating (I consider 100*C to be the threshold for this chip), you don't need someone else's furmark to confirm this. But we still need more information. How long was furmark running for: 1, 5 or 10 minutes? What laptop model was this? What were the temps during gaming? This is vital information because furmark stresses your GPU to atypical levels (much higher than any game would). Some people will see 95*C in furmark after 10 minutes, but top out at 88*C while gaming, which is acceptable.

    i have Clevo HID P150EM i7 15.6 with Intel Core i7-3610QM Processor+gtx670m , i ran furmark for 30 minutes and the reading was alternating between 96-97c , the gpu was also throttling down at that temperature , diablo3 would get the gpu to the same temperature (96-97c) most of the time.

    Then that is causing the issue probably. I suggest you open up your laptop and check the paste as there are quite a few threads on these forums by people who received very poorly pasted machines when they upgraded form the factory default paste. It may be that there's too much applied for example, so definitely have a look at it.

    That's not normal. Any reputable company would repaste the machine and clean the vents at the very least. If you purchased the laptop within 30 days and they do say that everything is normal, I would ask for a refund.
