    I have a danish Hp dv5 with radeon hd3450 and a amd ql-60 processor.

    I do have one concern, according to hwmonitor and when i lay my hands on the area where the touchpad is place, its over 90 degrees celcius!

    The highest hwmonitor has recorded was 96°C for the cpu and 72°C for the gpu.


    Faulty NB?

    Not good but not uncommon for this model, do a search here you'll see.

    hi dikki,
    It's not common for a notebook to run that warm.

    Follow the instructions in this link and make sure your power settings are correct:
