    After my gpu crashed a few days ago (then magically started working again), I've been monitoring my gpu temps with cpuid. This is my first gaming notebook so I don't really know what temps are usual and how hot it can get before causing damage. The hottest temperature I've gotten to is 62 C and right now I'm just running two monitors browsing the web and I'm at 35 C. Are these okay? I know whenever I get above 60 C my fans start getting really loud.

    All help is appreciated!

    Actually anything below 90C is ok. If you want to do a hardcore test on your computer just follow this article.
