    The temperatures are normal for a DV5 as the cooling system is very weak. Unless you're hitting 85C+ load temps i wouldn't worry, the chips are rated for 100C.

    Yes, 100. Mine was hitting 95C all stock, and runs at 84 max after undervolting. Regular usage temps (web browsing or movie watching) are 65-70ish.
