    With original setup, i guess thats mighty impossible to get P8400 80C hot, unless you place it under a sheep for Orthos benchmarking :D I have seen temps up to 53 C only. After hours of Crysis gaming i got 46C, benching orthos for 3 hours i got 53 max.

    Ya max temps of CPU should be in the 50ish range though if you have a x9100 you could hit the 70s no problem.

    Ofc and with quad cpu (if that support finaly comes) even higher. But my guess was, that he asked about stock P7811.

    yeah temps are fine. GPU seems a little higher than normal but still well within its operable range.

    TZS0 is too hot. It's a known problem with the p7811fx. No component in a laptop should ever go over 90c

    Read the thread Wysocki linked, or more importantly, this entry in that thread http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.php?p=3918654&postcount=46 and then just ignore it unless you see noticeable downthrottling of your cpu. Sometimes, too much information is a bad thing. I've seen the 98C spike a couple of times when testing out of the box. I've not seen it since then. It is quite possible that I was using just the battery when I saw it occur. Great, one more thing to test.
