    Greetings.

    I've recently bought an HP ProBook 4730s. It has a i3 2330m cpu and 6490m gpu.

    Been doing all sorts of tests, and eventually decided to try the prime/furmark combo.

    The gpu hits no more than 75*, which I'm really happy about. The problem is, the i3 2330m reaches 84-85* in about 10 minutes of stress testing, where slight throttling starts.

    It's not a big issue, but I'm wondering if it's considered normal for this notebook/cpu to behave like this. I've got a limited time to return the item and was wondering if I should do it, based on this issue.

    Cheers.
