    I just got my dv2700t, and since I know they have potential heat problems, I'm trying to decide whether to keep it or not...I was wondering if anyone knows what the NORMAL temps for the CPU and GPU should be? Right now I'm just web browsing and running itunes and my CPU reads 50* celsius and my GPU is 63* celsius...is that ok?


    I got a great deal on this laptop ($500 off coupon) so theres no other 14" that comes close to these specs for $900, but if its gonna die on me in a couple months...then its not worth it

    Aslong as your CPU is within 40-75c

    HDD: 35-55c

    GPU: 45-80c

    The cooler the better.

    Just for reference.

    My GPU is about 50-55 degrees when idle, around 60 degrees when under nomal (graphic intensive) load, and goes up to 75 degrees when gaming.

    Also, I bought an Antec notebook cooler S for gaming and I'm very pleased with it.
