What is considered "unsafe" temps for an i5 2410m and 555m

The 555m was getting to under 70 I believe when playing Just Cause at very high settings/1080p, whiile the i5 was getting a max of 82.

Both of those are in celcius so about 179 farenheight for the processor and about 154 for the GPU

It's a new laptop, just 2 days old. I have it on a book and it is slightly raised from the book since the bottom of the laptop has a sort of... six plastic bits that raise it from whatever it's on by about 1-2 cms.

I've got it sitting on a book on my lap and the fan is about 6-8 inches from the bed and isn't blocked at all by the book.

Also does anyone know a better monitor than GPU-Z? It keeps freezing on me and I can't really see the temp of my GPU.

 

Those sound about right. Maybe a bit high for the CPU, but nothing to worry about. GPU is good temp though.

Try HWMonitor or MSI Afterburner for GPU temps.

 

those temps are still considered very normal

If you want better temps, consider repasting the CPU and GPU with a quality thermal paste. Most people on the alienware m17x forums do repaste with a temp drop of 10-15c

Gpuz is ok...HWinfo64 is better imo

 

after burner works pretty well, i use it for Overclocking as well as GPU monitoring
