    While playing GTA4 for a while on my DV5 I notice my temps are kind of high. The CPU hits 75 and 73 for each core and my GPU hits 70. Are these temps low enough to consistently play the game or do I need to find better cooling solutions?

    The GPU temp is normal.
    Mines 9600M GT DDR2 hits 76C.
    But the CPU is another story.
    Never goes higher than 52C.
    I thought the P7350 were the same as P8400?
