New Pavilion laptop overheating?

Okay I just bought a new HP pavilion laptop. I plan to do some gaming. When I checked the temperatures, I got some odd results. HW monitors say my GPU is around 49 degrees C. (It's a radeon hd 8650g)

However, the cpu shows about 103 degrees, which seems rather high.

When I checked GPU-Z the gpu was running at 96 degrees C. One of those temperatures are wrong. But I don't know which one.

Someone told me that 90+ degrees C is normal for a laptop graphics card. Is this true? Also, is 103 degrees normal for an amd a10 processor? I just want to make sure my laptop isn't overheating. Most of these were idle temps, too..

 

Exactly what model is the HP you bought??? Your asking alot of help without giving us much details to know what is going on. And how are you using the laptop is the air flow blocked???

 

This is the model I bought: HP Pavilion 17-e171nr Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) | HP® Official Store
The airflow is not blocked. And so far I've been using it to play some games. However, even the idle temperatures seem high.

 

Well I say this being a AMD desktop user AMD are poor processor for laptop IMO. I think part of your heating is coming from the processors not the GPU since you mentions at idle the temp is high. AMD processors aren't the best for power saving especially at idle as you mention the temp is high even at idle. I would if you still have warranty return it and get a Intel based processor instead and spend a little more and save more in heat and idle heating room.

 

How accurate are hw monitors? Odd thing about HW monitor is that it wouldn't show all of my core temperatures(my processor is a quad core). I tried using core temp, but it wouldn't display the cpu temps. I tried using speed fan and it did display something called temp1, but i'm unsure if that's my cpu temp or not.

 

Take your laptop apart and repaste the cpu and gpu with artic silver 5 and get a $5 laptop cooler with dbl fans,,,AMD products run hotter , this is no problem. EDIT: Look below, New Info.

Download AMD Overdrive(don't adjust anything-just observe),,this utility will check your cpus for heat-individually not as a group, ect,,other utilities wont work, Overdrive shows the cpu heat at 31-35C on mine each core-System Board radio button,, Others HWinfo ect show much hotter-80C, they have the wrong information,, it takes a AMD certified utility to read the specifications accurately, don't trust 3rd party or outsider freeware too much..Like I said don't worry about it,,,

AMD over drive will show you more timings on ram than imaginable. Dont autotune either if active, probably greyed out like mine.
