I closely monitor the temps for my new laptop and was wondering what temps you guys are getting? Sitting idle on the desktop i get around 50-55°C. While play some not soooo graphics intensive games online (League of Legends) i get up to around 80°C. So are these temps pretty normal and what temps are you guys showing?
Intel Core i7-2640M Mobile processor (FF8062700838905)
Shows your max temp at 100C, so 80C is quite hot. Set the laptop on something to allow air under it or get a cooling pad to set it on while gaming.
My i7 2720QM idles at low to mid 40's. Granted it's a different laptop with differnet cooling, but that is a bit warm for idle.
With a high idle, a high load temp is not surprising.While play some not soooo graphics intensive games online (League of Legends) i get up to around 80°C.
As Britton suggested elevate the laptop (don't block the intake fan/holes) and grab a cooling pad.
Those temps aren't currently 'dangerous', but they aren't great for the chips longevity.
