    Hey to all,

    I bought a Dell laptop about six days ago - Intel i7 4500U 1.8GHz 8GBRAM 1000GBHDD 17.3'' HD+ 1600x900 AMD Mobility Radeon HD8870M 2GB GDDR5, im very concerned about its running temperatures. At idle state it shows approx. 50 C and while gaming temperature can reach 85 C, are those temperatures OK? System does not crash lag freeze or anything everything seems stable even when gaming. I have read that Haswell processors run at higher temperatures, but 85 C, isnt that too high? I have not modified laptops hardware nor software, everything is full stock. So my question is - should i worry about frying this computer?
