    Yes. Mine is usually a little cooler though.

    (I am running on the intel GPU though which is far more han sufficiant for what ou have running. You should only need the 6770 for heavy gaming (ie skyrim, cod, w/e). The intel should have no problem with online games.

    wow those are good temps, my cpu temps never go under 50, most of the time they stay @~55 while surfing web pages, my gpu stays at @~46 though

    I never use the intel gpu because im too lazy to switch cards everytime i play a game, maybe thats why my cpu runs hotter? :p

    The 6770 takes your temps up ~10c and takes your battery life from 5 hours to 1 hour. (Less if you are gaming)
