    Both my CPU and GPU reach around 75 degrees C when maxed out. Is this ok or am I going to burn it out and have a $2000.00 paper weight on my hands?

    Thanks in advance.

    my cpu gets as hot as 85 degrees celsius under heavy load. anywhere over 80 degrees celsius and i can start to hear the fans kick in aggressively. sounds like your temps are ok to me.

    i ordered a laptop cooling pad though because i want to help keep temps lower if possible.

    I keep my fan on whenever I use it.

    Still seem kinda hot to me. Good thing it has a 3 year warranty, though id hate to have to even use it.

    75'C is a normal temp during load. You dont have to worry something will overheat.

    When idle my laptop runs at about 40 degrees C or so.

    Maybe I should have mentioned that its summer and room temp is 90 degrees F cause we have no AC. xD

    But I did get the max upgrade on thermal paste.

    pretty good in my opinion. my room temperature is usually in the mid-high 70's and i'm still idling around 42-45 celsius. :(
