    it gets overheat and warmer than my previous vaio f series 2nd generation core i7 2670. my current model is svs151290x. core i7 3632, windows 8, base model from vaio website. i m runnig this machine with stamina mode to avoid overheating. but it remains. so, i m confused is it normal or should i send it back? in that case it will be really a huge problem bcause of my current possition. i m now in bangladesh, an asian country where no authorised vaio service centre exists. can any one have idea with overheat question? some more problem i m facing here: touchpad resistance etc.

    ok. i googled and run speedfan soft. my cpu usage is about 0.3%-20%, GPU: 52c, HD0: 41c, temp 1: 58c, core 0: 58c, core 1: 58c, core 2: 58c, core 3: 59c. i dont have idea about these data. but the problem i m facing is the bottom part of the laptop that contains battery, gets so warm that one can not resist with it over any arm. some times i have to use it over my arm or knee. my previous vaio f was not so warm any way. i used to work with that machine very high performance softs like photosho cs6. still i have not examinned those softs at my machine. but i m confused what is happening here?

    It could be your battery problem, not laptop because you felt hot under battery location.
    Cpu and fan are in the middle and near the hinge

    My SVS15 (Asia) is definitely hotter than a VAIO F2 (US), but not hotter than an F1 (EU).
    It doesn't go over 80*C now. But the parts near the hinges get too hot for fingers (I never checked the bottom part, since I always use it on a stand, plus I have an extra battery, therefore, which doesn't heat up).
    The part near the vent is extremely hot though, I am almost afraid that can cause problems for the monitor. The exhaust has to be in the crappiest, most ridicolous place anyone could have put it on a laptop, literally.

    If you open the screen to the maximum, it'll heat up. The fan cannot push out the heat fast enough then, since the monitor blocks a great deal of it.

    The temperatures you have in Idle are quite high though, unless it's already 40-50*C in your room. It's 25-27*C here and during typical work, my CPU temps are around 40*C, I didn't see them go over 45*C. (regular as in browsing, but as soon as I start programming or running VMs, it gets over 60*C during the load).
