    Orthos will stress your CPU to it's max so getting higher temps then you've seen before isn't strange.
    However the temps you got (especially almost 110 degrees C) seems to indicate a problem with your cooling.
    Have you ever cleaned your notebook? Especially the keyboard and fan?

    The 6224 and the 6324 get very hot anyway, but not quite that hot. You probably have blocked vents or an accumultion of dust on the heatsink that lives under the keyboard (so you know where to look.) Try blowing compressed air in short bursts through the side vent to attempt to dislodge any foreign matter built up on the heatsink. Alternatively remove the three screws holding the keyboard in place (they are on the rear of the notebook, one of them is under the memory cover) and carefully remove the keyboard. Then hold the fan still and give it a quick blast of air from the side of the notebook again. If you feel inclined you could always remove the heatsink, but I would recommend you make sure you have some AS5 or similar heatsink paste as you will no doubt need to replace the paste for the GPU. I cleaned and replaced the heatsink paste Zepto applied and dropped my average max temp by nearly 10C.

    Clean it... A can of compressed air will do the trick.

    Like Andy suggested above, you can also re apply the thermo grease if you feel you are tech savey enough to do so... it may help.

    I do not recommend that you do this if you are not experienced enough to do so. You can cause more damage than good and may void any Zepto warranty you might have.

    The 6224W that I own is also getting hot as hell but still functions perfect...

    My GPU is getting about the 96 degrees Celcius, just from the beginning that I've bought it..
