    Just wondering is this is normal; temps have been like this since I bought my M51sn last year. I've read 90-100 degrees is the "danger zone" but pretty much if I play any game I get high temps close to that. Also other people with 9500GS seems to report temps around 55 C idles up to about 75 C under load....


    9500 GS
    idle: 65-67 degrees C
    load: 90 (min) -97 (max) degrees C (CoD4, FO3)

    core 2 duo 8300t
    idle: 30C/42C (core"0", core"1")
    load: <75C

    All temps checked with Hardware monitor and GPU-z

    Your temps are slightly on the warm side. If you haven't already in the past few months, try cleaning your notebook fan, heat radiator and vent. A can of compressed air should do the trick.

    Yeah, I've already cleaned the fan and vent. It wasn't really that dirty just thin, fine layer of dust on the fan...

    I would try a different graphics driver to see if that helps bring your GPU temps down a bit. Your system is definitely not overheating, but it might be a wise choice to invest in a notebook cooler.
