CPU Temps?!

[window136]

Hi,

Ive got the thermal cooling paste upgrade as well as a USB cooling fan underneath.
My fans frequently edge near 80 degrees

im a little worried.

even on idle they never get below 35..

Should I be worried?
Whats the optimal temp?

I feel asif the USB fan is just blowing hot air back in

I guess when im playing GTA IV it's the only time it gets near 75+ lol will this game be the death of my PC?

Looks fine to me, your laptop is not going to die. The cpu can stand higher temps. Have you try pressing fn+F1 to have the fans at full speed when gaming?

Thermal Arctic. Nice I guess those high temps only occcur when playing GTA IV but when doing standard tasks averages below 50 which is nice!

I'm with keynes. Your max temps are not alarming and your mins are positively chilly.
