    I've had an SZ360 since February. I've been very satisfied with it. I love the size and weight. Buuuut, recently i've tried gaming on it with the speed mode (i usually use stamina). My CPU temps quickly jump to the 95C range. This happens in under a minute. The first time i tried gaming a few days ago, i had notebook hardware control installed and it started to warn me that my cpu was above 80C. A minute or 2 later the computer warned me that it was going to shut off because the CPU was too hot. I quickly shut the game off and BAM, the temp dropped.

    I uninstalled NHC and installed Intel's TAT to check temps...is this normal? After a few minutes of gaming the bottom side of my laptop is incredibly hot...any other sz3xx users run this hot?

    Blow out the dust in your fans and heatsink.
