    On my toshiba notebook I even saw temperatures of 110+ºC. Is this normal? Anyone knows the maximum temperature for this model? Should I take it back to Toshiba?

    I don't think that's normal. Some GPUs can go close to 110C. But that is a bit extreme anyway.

    When's the last time you cleaned it ?

    It is new, not even a month old


    I don't want to risk voiding the warranty. I bought it with the "No matter what guarantee", and I want to hold on to that.

    I'd personally return it. If it is that hot, something didn't get put on right and you don't want to have to have your computer serviced so early anyway.

    Well, if you put the same question in more forums you'll get the same answer(s). If you don't want to void your waranty by changing thermal paste, then use your waranty to fix it, or get a replacement.

    Yes I would recommend a replacement. Anything over 85C for a laptop is just too hot.
