    (can;t find a word that fits the loaded or full part)
    Well my notebook's

    GPU at idle maintains a temp of 65 C.-----Heavy load= 80C-81 C
    CPU at idle maintains a temp of 50 C.-----Heavy load= 70C-73 C
    HD at idle maintains a temp of 50 C.-----Heavy load= 65C-68 C

    Do I really need to buy a notebook cooler??
    Are my temps still safe??
    Or am I just overreacting??

    (I want my notebook to last for 3 years)

    Haha.. for an AMD processor you just seem to run cool.. makesure you dont hit the high 70s with the notebook on ur laptop!! am sure u would scotch you skin and also something which you really dont want to!! i am not sure, but i have seen in somesite which hosts really good images of people's skin getting totally scotched/burned with notebook on their lap..

    Buy a cooler (xeemann or just google it), it would surely help your battery and also the performance.

    Both the cpu and gpu are well within safe ranges, so there's really nothing to worry about there.

    But like previously mentioned, the hard drive is smokin'.

    Smokin' hot... like Dominoes Pizza.

    If u dont wanna buy Cooler do this:
    Defragment your HD with auslogics disk defragmentor.
    Keep your laptop on power saving mode when not using to reduce heat damages.
    Use CCleaner to clean up mess on your comp.

    Well all this is an inferior alternative to buying a Cooler..

    Even i am looking to buy a cooler .. currently Cooler Master seems best.
    Zalman is way too expensive in Singapore

    Depends on the sound that you can tolerate. Smaller fans spin faster and have a more high pitched sound, while large fans will spin slower and give out a more low pitched mellow humm.

    i think ur temperatures are normal..........if cpu temp are above risk value it will shut down itself to prevent damage....so relax and continue enjoying ur machine
