    53 degrees is fine and normal on the geforce. Mine runs at 65 lol ;) already went up to 82 where it shut down due to thermal overload.

    Try switching it to the intel card and giving it an hour to cool down, see what the CPU temp is then, should be lower.

    Mine is at 52 on my lap. I have not tried, nor do I know if it's possible to undervolt. It feels plenty cool to me..of course I come from a 17 inch DTR that was good for cooking on.

    whew, I just played an hour or so of COD2, and let me say that while this is the coolest notebook I have ever used, OC'ing will heat it up. I'm returning top stock speeds...
