    Not necessarily. I elevate the back of my dv5t and have a cooler when gaming, sorry I should have specified that in my post. If you are leaving it on a flat surface or somehow restricting the airflow to the GPU, it can heat up fast.

    The temps I posted are pretty close to the difference between being elevated (45) and sitting flat or on my lap (55) idle. Your idle temps are a bit high, but not out of the ordinary from what I've heard. The gaming temps you posted are high, but if you are not cooling the laptop or elevating it, they are about what I would expect.

    Mine is weird, and I can't figure it out. On an ASUS c90s, it is usually ~82 through ~90 when under load. It for some odd reason jumps up to 95 when the display turns off. The only thing I can think of is that the fans are powering down, and I can't figure out how to keep them on.
