    Hello,

    I aquired this Laptop in...October 2009. I'm really happy with it, but I have a question.

    It reaches high temperatures while gaming, about 90º-95º and it's keeps around 70º in idle.

    I haven't noticed any problem with performance or anything, only the fan kicks really high as soon as I start a game.

    Is it normal? I always heard that AMD Cpu's are hotter than Intel.

    Didn't really want to undervolt or anything, because if it's a problem with the hardware itself I might send it to the warranty.

    Only thing I wanted to know is if those temperatures are normal!
