    I know the HP-DV5T produces a lot of heat... but i think this is way more than normal. This are my temperatures after playing Assasin Creed. I am also using a notebook cooler.

    How long have you had the laptop for? Has it allways ran that hot? Is there any dust or foreign bodies blocking the air flow around the heatsink and fan areas?

    Seems about right to me at full load, how long were you playing assassins creed, and max settings? And as previous poster asked, what cooler, and is it alligned with your back vent? Also have you tried undervolting?

    Sorry, yesterday i was using the laptop while the vents where blocked. I supposed that was what caused all the heat. And was running the game at mid-high, not full specs.
    Anyways, running my computer at Idle my temperatures are the following:

    Core1=49c
    Core2=45c
    GPU=53c
    HD=45c

    My cooler is a Coolmax NB-400, it seems to do a good work... Its not perfectly aligned, but it was the best i could find on the store :p.

    These are my max temps after running ATITool and ORTHOS for an hour and 10 minutes. My CPU and GPU were stressed to it's max. I have undervolted my dv5t and i have a Zalman NC2000 on max fan speed.
