    My system is
    I7 3720qm
    16gb ram
    128 msata
    750 hdd
    680m 4gb

    It is only 1 year old.

    I am getting heat temps at 90, 91c on my gpu while i play arma 3, borderlands tomb raider, bioshock.

    I hit 94c on my cpu doing a stress test using intel extreme tuning utility.

    I monitored my gpu temps with msi AB.

    I used a can of air and cleaned it out, no change in temps. The mythlogic guys put IC Diamond compound on it when i bought it an I bought Arctic Silver 5 to reapply but I am waiting to hear from them first- they have not yet responded to me.

    The next thing i want to try is adjusting my fan speeds, but I cant! MSi AB wont let me adjust it and the fan tab is not showing up in settings. SO i downloaded HWinfo64- i searched that this was a solution for the Alienware guys. In HWINFO64 when i hit the sensor tab an scroll down there is no fan button anywhere. I am starting to think that i have no way of adjusting my fan speed.

    What should I do with the high temps? I really don't want to lose my computer for a month while i mail t to get fixed.

    I bought a cooler master U2- I have the repaste, but I'll wait to see what mythlogic says, and how the cooler pad works

    So my CPU stressed hits over 100c, ANC my gpu gets to 95c

    Mythlogic said they would send me a shipping box to send it in and have them clean, and repaste!
    It's free because of my two year warranty.

    Should I send it in? Or should I try and repaste and use my cooling pad for now? Losing my laptop for three weeks doesn't seem fun! And I have 1 more year on my warranty. What would you do?

    If you are up to it, try a repaste yourself. That's what I would do.

    And a shop vac can work wonders, but hold the fan blades while vacuuming,
