    While I'm playing Battlefield 3 or Crysis 2, my GPU temperature (using MSI Afterburner On-Screen Display) goes up as high as 100 degree celsius. My fans are set to 100%, and I have HP CoolSense set to coolest mode. Is this temperature normal for these gpu-intensive games, or is my laptop just going to melt sooner or later?

    Something is wrong then, because my GPU when Oc'ed highly does not go above 75C.

    That's strange... My current clocks are 830/950. Maybe I should try disassembling my laptop and apply some thermal paste?
    Any other ideas of why my computer gets so freakin' hot??

    check your driver... freaking AMD's driver is a mess
    also maybe underclock you gpu back to stock would help

    best chance for you would be to apply some AS5 or something of the like. Otherwise you could send it in for a re-paste if it is still under warranty.

    100c is seriously wrong, what is your ambient temperature? You can't adjust the fan speed.. that just placebo.

    My ambient temp is around 73 degrees (spring time here in new jersey). However, this problem has been occurring for about a month now...

    Uhm, and what is the idle temperature of the laptop's video card? (Switched in BIOS fixed and selected manually 6770m instead of intel graphics). What's the speed of fan (in percentage)?

    Idle is around 67 degrees... (weird) As for the speed of the fan, I have no idea.

    That's way to high, it should be no more than 50 degrees Celsius and while gaming - no more than 85 degrees Celsius. I strongly recommend you to buy compressed air can and remove dusts from laptop's fan, it is quite cheap and effective way to prolong your laptop's life.
    By the way, you can check fan's speed by downloading "SpeedFan", it is lite program, which shows temperatures and fan's speed (in percentage). Unfortunately, you can't change the speed of the fan, as HP has somehow disabled that option.
