    its an integrated chip not an actual graphics card i think. but yeah it is a bit too hot i think? ive got a more powerful one and it runs at 55-60 idle and 70+ when running a game.

    Yes...105C is approaching shutdown temps for laptops when they choke to save themselves.

    You need to check and see (1) if the temp monitoring utility you are using is known to work and report correct temps, (2) make sure you're notebook's fans are running, and (3) if getting a notebook cooler is within your budget. In the meantime, you probably need to call HP and get some repair help.

    105C is just plain wrong...105 F would be okay though. Make sure you aren't confusing the units.

    1. how do we know that temp monitoring utility is report correct temps ?
    i'm using default utility from HP and Nvidia
    Can someone give me another ultility which can report correct temps ?
    2. Yes my fan are running
    3. well i can't call HP anymore coz i'm bought this notebook when holiday and i'm now work at Asia Indonesia

    105C yes not F, and the weird thing is temp monitoring utility from Nvidia shown <70C = green level , <100 = Yellow level and >100 = red level

    i really confuse about this >.<

    and sorry for my bad english

    It should be fine considering the temps are right after playing Heroes V. The critical temp for the GPU is 135C. Mine idles around 70C as well, I havent checked the temps while gaming but will try and check the temps tonight.

    EDIT: Checked the temps while playing NFS Carbon, the temps were around 95C. The temps returned back to idle pretty quick and I really didnt feel any extra heat from the system. Maybe the sensors are a bit off. Was your system hotter than normal when you checked the GPU temps(especially around the fans). If it wasnt then there no reason to worry.
