    Ok let me just apologize in advance if this is in the wrong forum. There is nothing really wrong, but ive noticed that sometimes the 7900 GTX GO's GPU temp in my XPS M1710 runs a bit hot. Even when im just surfin the net and listening to music, the core temp sometimes runs in the mid to late 60's temp wise. I wanted to know if im just being paranoid, or is this not normal? I used the Dell diagnostic and it said the cooling fans are running fine.

    Its fine in the 60's... Remember we are talking about the most powerful GPU currently available on a notebook so its going to produce quite a bit of heat even when idle.
