    I have an I3 DV6 pavilion notebook. I suggested my friend buying the I7 DV6 notebook, becouse of its performance. Both of them with 4gb ram and 6770m graphics card. (6050 es and 6150 ss i think)

    We are really happy with their performance while gaming, but temperature differences between both of them are really huge.

    Playing NBA 2k12 in the same place with the same conditions, his gpu graphics card reaches about 75º while mines is not reaching even 60º.

    Is it normal?

    Considering the performance u get on i7, 75C is normal. My 6100 with 2630QM even reaches 95C in summer with heavy games

    I just play Kingdom of Amalur for 2+ hours and 1 of the core reached 88c. :D

    Did your friend enable Coolsense?
