    Please take a look at the following attatchment and let me know if there is something seriously wrong inside. :( :( :( :( :confused:

    In the HWmonitor config file,I have changed the tjmax value to 90 instead of 100..and these are my idle temperatures after making that change..also my laptop is raised at the back by 4cm. I have made sure there are no blocked air vents...also i was not using the cooler when I recorded these temperatures.The left palmrest area becomes simply too hot(unbearable) after a 10-15 min of gaming(crysis demo). The keyboard becomes warm as well!

    nothing there looks dangerously high temperature wise, however i would have said that memory clock is a bit high compared to the core clock. check that against what its meant to be (im sure someone on the forum has posted it somewhere, do a search)

    the left palm does get toasty warm, but it shouldnt be too hot to touch.

    if temperatures were about 90*C i would be worried, but 67*C max is not overheating.

    HD usually sits beneath the left palm rest. Its whats emitting the heat.
