Is this your idle temperature? If it is, it is pretty warm, but if the CPU is being moderately tasked, 150 oF or 65.5 oC is normal. Your motherboard is on the warm side so I suggest you use a cooling pad to lower the temperatures especially for the motherboard.

65C is normal?
My laptop is just a few days old, but when I check temp on speccy the cpu and motherboard temperature is 58C.

I'm not sure if something is wrong.

Per my quote, when the CPU is moderately tasked (e.g. playing flash/shockwave based browser games or facebook game apps where only 1 core/thread is being used) 65 oC is normal. My netbook with Celeron 877 @ 1.4 GHz (2 cores, w/out HT) and HD 2000 graphics reaches 65 - 70 C max when playing flash/facebook browser games. When converting videos or stress testing (all cores at 100% CPU), it reaches 80 - 83 C max. My motherboard temps according to speccy has not yet gone above 68 C at full load.

58 C at idle is maybe due to hot ambient temperatures (30 C or above) in the Philippines. In Southern California near LA, during summer my room temp is about 70 F or 21 C and my netbook idles at 40-50 C.

My CPU is at 90C when Idle!!
I can't and I don't want to think how much it goes when gaming!
And Motherboard the same!

Help! I know that removing the battery when you use the cable is a good solution, but it didnt work!

Now i am gonna buy a cooling pad.

And some compressed air to blow the dust from the fans and I will post back.

Please add your own ideas.

Everything was fine 55-60C when idle and 65-70 when gaming with games like BF3, but from the time I bought and played ArmA 3 Beta from steam, it has had these temperatures (90C both motherboard and CPU) FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKK THAT GAME. IT'S POOR OPTIMIZATION IS THE PROBLEM THAT FAKED MY Laptop. CanYouRunIt says i CAN play the game. Please ideas. See ya.
