P170EM CPU temperatures

I was just curious what others get on their P170EMs. I'm hovering around 75-85°C under load with a 3740QM. around 70 idle. does this seem high? I'm using MX4 thermal paste. Anything I can do other than underclock/undervolting to reduce temperatures? I was hoping to actually give it a small OC if I can reduce temps enough.

Thanks.

 

good for load but a little raised for idle.
when was the last time you cleaned the vents and fans out with compressed air.
is it on a hard table, is there a wall close behind. raising back slightly can also help with airflow a little.
ive only got 3720QM on 15" and was on higher temps than yours.

 

If you didn't repaste it yet, then repaste it. Clean all the fans and heatsinks and such with compressed air as well. If that doesn't help, then undervolting may be the way to go.

 

I cleaned them out about a month ago, around the same time I repasted. I am missing that bit of tape that went over the top between the fan and the heatsink, would any type of tape be good to replace that or is it not really necessary to help with temps? This is on a hard surface as I use it, with no wall near it.

repasted about a month ago, also cleaned.

 

ahh the famous black tape that loads removed in the past saying i dont need this.
then a few days later they are on here moaning about high temps
it directs the air flow to where its needed but your temps dont seem that bad.
also not sure if normal masking tape will do the job. hopefully someone else can advise on that.

 

I would suggest electrical tape http://www.be-electronics.com/product_p/33.htm, this is what I use, it's good up until 105c which your components won't be hitting, just make sure not to get any on your heat pipes because those can hit over 100c easily and that will melt the tape.
