    I have a HP DV7 5002el i7 2630qm with AMD Radeon HD 6570, in idle the temp is 55C - 60C, but in games (nfs, civilization,) it goes at around 90C, i allready have a cooling mat(coolmaster notepal U3), but the temp is still hi. The only way i can cool it down is with ThrottleStop to disable turboboost bit it slows the performaces as well. Is there any other way to cool it down, an aftermarket cooler etc ?

    Is the computer crashing? Max operating temp for i7s is 100C so you are well within the guidelines at 90C.

    Yes but having it heat up that much isnt really good for it.

    It should be ok. Just kind of annoying when the fan is on full blast though.
