    Running IntelBurnTest at the highest setting for 5 times, on my HP Laptop with a T9400-2.53ghz it causes the temps to go to 105 degrees which is the max temp and this causes an automatic downclock to 1.6Ghz for sometime. System is stable though. Also the times increase for each run meaning as the system gets hotter the clock downgrade to 1.6ghz is more frequent in each sucessive run.

    Is this normal?

    No that is not normal. Your system is overheating.

    How old is the notebook?

    6 Months old. BTW these results are with Arctic Silver 5 already applied.

    Does anyone have any experience sending a HP laptop in for heat issues? Do they just clean and repply thermal compound and send back or actually do something?

    They'd be none the wiser if you didn't tell them.

    I told you not to fall asleep when running that... IntelBurnTest is N-O-T meant to be ran for extended periods of time, ESPECIALLY ON A NOTEBOOK. If you want to fry your CPU go ahead.

    No other program or combination of programs can make the CPU get that hot - you'll have maximum load temps 10-15C lower with any other software, including video encoding or whatnot. Btw, doing video encoding on a laptop isn't the best idea either.
