    Tried doing a search and got this in return: "Could not find phrase 'invalid_search_query'."

    I just got my dv6-6170us back from HP. I sent it in last week because it was reaching the mid-60s when simply browsing the internet and the low 90s while playing Diablo III. I was told that those temperatures were extremely high so I went ahead and sent it in since it was under warranty.

    Now that I have it back, I'm curious as to what normal temperatures are for browsing and gaming. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If AMD gpu is active, GPU temp while browsing 50 degrees Celsius, motherboard 54 C. For intensive gaming max 80 Celsius.

    If Intel GPU active, every sensor shows less than 50 C (while browsing). And for gaming I can't say as probably nobody plays games using Intel HD graphics.

    Normal browsing should be under 50. Flash Player bumps it up sometimes. I idle at 45-48 without a cooler. Gaming can be anywhere from 65+ really. These are CPU temperatures of course.
