    Hey guys,

    While playing games for a longtime on my laptop, I saw that my motherboard has reached around 65-70 degrees Celsius at the highest( I quit playing when I see that). I have yet to get a cooling bad, which I will be doing very soon. Therefore, I was wondering what's a safe temperature zone for a motherboard. or what is the danger zone for a mother board. So I can try to stay as far below from it as possible.

    Thanks

    Are you referring to the ACPI temperature?
    Usually people say thats the motherboard temperature, but it is usually that or the memory temperature.
    65-70C is fine, but cooler would be better. Any temperature 80C or hotter is dangerous for any laptop components.
