Hey guys, I just have a random question. When playing a low end game I.E. Stalker SHOC, or a relatively old game, and newer games (of course) my laptop gets crazy hot. Idling it's about 55 C, running ANY games it (mobo and processor) gets to 74 C. What's going on? I even have a cooling upgrade, but that doesn't seem to do much. :/
Here's my specs:

16 gb of DDR3 Ram

Nvidia Geforce GT 650m 1gb DDR5

699GB ATA ST9750420AS SCSI Disk Device (SATA)

466GB ATA ST9500424AS SCSI Disk Device (SATA)

Intel dual Core i5 3210M @ 2.5 Ghz

If i missed anything, tell me. But this is not a crummy machine, so i'm unsure why it gets so hot. Thanks alot guys!

It's a laptop. Those temps are supposed to be high.

Those temperatures are perfectly normal for gaming, but I think the idling temperature is a little on the high side.

Edit: No, those temperatures are perfectly normal, even idling.

Alright, thanks alot for putting my fears to rest!
