    I recently bought a vostro 1310 and im loving it so far.

    I have one question though: My video card is an 8400m gs and i get around 64 degrees celsius temperature when surfing the internet and sitting idle etc, and about 100 degrees when playing a game like crysis. Is my idle temperature too high? is my full load temperature too high?

    ps: my cpu never goes above 40 degrees. bios is a10. never overclocked. using laptopvideo2go 177.41 drivers.

    Thanks

    well i would expect the 100 for crysis. but 64 seems a bit high for idle on a 8400 gs in general. I don't own a vostro so I don't know if thats something normal on vostros.
