    After playing Half Life 2 Death match, I get these numbers as my maximum temperature:

    cpu:91 C
    gpu: 84 C

    I have an AMD Turion II dual-Core Mobile M500 2.20 GHz and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200.
    Here is the photo in case I got the numbers mixed up:

    Definitely on the warm side. Try undervolting with K10Stat ( guide) and cleaning out your vents with compressed air.

    Not particularly. Newer processors generally have thresholds of around 105C and as long as the processor is not throttling itself you are usually fine.
