    Okay I just want to capture everyone's operating GPU temps who have the ATI 4570 GPU. It does not matter what laptop as I want to see whare are typical ranges. If you have the 5470 then you can post that too.
    I wish ATI would I am cocnerned that it may fail soon. Had to go through the Nvdia 8400M GS failure not too long ago.

    Studio 1558
    ATI 4570
    Plugged in (not on battery)
    Room temp ~23C
    Idling temp 47C
    Normal operation 50-55C (I think used to be 47-50C a few months back)
    Watching HD video through a video player 66-73C
    Watching normal video through a video player 63-68C
    If I play Starcraft II temps go as high as 86C (range is 82-86C)

    I have 11.2 driver from ATI that was released mid Feb 2011.

    Normal operation is surfing or doing normal tasks but not watching any type of video

    Your temps are pretty stable. Mine rise 10-20C depending on what type of video is playing. For HD they go close to 70C
