    sorry for the repost. i typed the wrong chip on my previous post. SORRY AGAIN!

    what's the temperature of this laptop when under heavy load? (specifically during gaming)

    is the cooling system of this laptop good enough to dissipate the heat it produces?

    thanks a lot.

    My GPU maxes out at around 75C, which is nothing to worry about.

    @abaddon4180: is your 4650 oc'd?

    to all, is 80c above still a safe temp for this chip?

    I have a similar laptop to that of abaddon4180, except mine is AMD Turion ZM-82, 2.2 Ghz. When playing GTA IV at stock settings, (no OC) it is usually around 68-70. Highest I remember seeing it was 73.

    I downclocked my CPU to 1v and its temperature while playing is 76-78 per core. Highest I recorded was 81.
