    Hi, i have a Dv7t 4gram nvidia 9600gt 2.26cpu

    and my computer is running pretty hot while being idle recently. My idle gpu temperature is approx 52-55c while my cpu's are fine while running at 34-40 idle.
    While running games my computer gpu goes to 80c and cpus go to the mid 60s range. Is this something to worry about? because it used to go to 72c max while playing W.O.W last year. and now its hitting 80 playing low end games.

    Oh, and what would be the best notebook cooler?

    Thanks.
