    I know there is already a thread for M11x temps, but that clearly states for R1, so I made a thread for the both of them seeing as I have an R2.

    First of all, I would like to ask what program you use to record your gpu temps, as Speedfan, which I use, tells me temps for only one GPU, and I don't know which, as well as telling me temps for 4 cpu's, which I also don't understand, because last I checked the i5 doesn't have 4 cores....

    Also, according to Speedfan, I idle just around 40 (which is only when I first turn on the computer, otherwise its around 48) and max out at 68 during heavy gaming. I do use a crappy cooling pad that decreases temps by 1 degrees.

    Just as well, my cpu stays around 40 during gaming, otherwise 32.

    Sorry for all this mumbo jumbo, just trying to see if around 70 degrees is for the nvidia card, or the intel, or if that makes sense. Like perhaps Speedfan is only measuring the intel video card, and its that card that gets up to 70 degrees. That would make sense considering that the nvidia card is off, yet Speedfan says my GPU temp is 55 while watching videos.

    Sorry again if I ramble. Thank you all!

    cpuid hwmonitor will give you better temp readouts
