    Earlier today, I opened up HWMonitor and it said my max temp for the CPU was 87 degrees Celsius and the max temp for my GPU was 83 degrees celsius, which is kind of high. I haven't tried dusting the heatsink/fan yet but before I do, I was wondering if anyone has the same heat issue with this model laptop or similar model?

    Those are MAX temps. They seem fine; the laptop goes into top gear to load Windows as quickly as possible, so the initial temperatures can get quite high.

    What are the idle temperatures?
    What are the temperatures on sustained load - like running benchmarks, stress utilities, 3D games, video encoding, etc.?

    When you really have a problem with the cooling system, the laptop will tend to shut down after a few minutes into a stress test.

    Open Hardware Monitor has a nice graph. I set that that to load at startup so I can leep an eye on the temperatures.

    No, those are the temps that my CPU and GPU have gotten to. So your saying that a GPU that is in the mid 80's to 90's is fine? Yeah I don't think so, considering everyone says to keep temps to lower then 80.

    Get something that shows you a graph. That's the easiest way to understand.
