    I noticed when gaming the temps of the cpu can get up too 105 C also noticed that my fans weren't running very well. Anyone know what I can do? I already have a cooling external fan but it isn't helping and is there a program I can use too manually control the fans inside my laptop. Another question is are these really hot temps going too effect my laptop is a bad way? or should I ignore them.

    Dangerous! How old is the laptop? Either dirty cooling system, bad paste job from the factory or sensor error (unprobable).

    Its only about 8 months old. I thought these types of temps were normal while gaming but there not?

    Agreed with zipperi about cleaning it. How long have you had it and have you ever opened it up to clean the vents and fans. If its new then it should not have that high of temps. But if you've had it for a while (6 Months+) and depending on your environment it could need a cleaning.
    I would not ignore temps for 100C+

    If cleaning out insides does not make a big enough of a difference the reapplying the thermal compound will be your next step, but that gets very tricky on this model as it requires a complete teardown of it. I would not recommend doing it unless you're very comfortable taking apart and putting back together notebooks. In some cases that much tear down may also void your warranty.

    If you temps don't go much lower after the cleaning I would suggest sending it in to a service center to get it checked out.

    After cleaning it the temps went too 94c... and they might get lower if my fans actually started working because I don't think there running, also would you happen too know a way I can make the fans go faster?

    Update - I found a tool which let me force my fan too run a lot faster and as a result I was able too reach a stable Temp of 85- 90 now hopefully after I recieve a new external cooling pad I can get even better temps. I used -GT70 Fan Control V1.6.2- Is it bad too forcibly increase speed of the fan? And while im not gaming im getting temps of around 60 C are those normal?
