    Hey I just my Lenovo today and this is a pretty nice and slick machine. My machine Idle around 57-60c and when I play games it get as high as 74-79c. My gpu min is 55 and max at 70. Is this normal? Also why is my idling cpu running at 1.2ghz-1.4ghz when i'm not really doing nothing? Not even my desktop get this hot. Do i need a cooling pad or change something in bios or something else is wrong? Any feedback would be good thanks

    Everything is normal. Nothing to worry about.
