Thank for this thread. I grabbed the Notebook Hardware Control v2.06 and also: I got the Everest: AIDA64 Business Edition to use on my notebook and the PC.

THANKS AGAIN FOR THE HEADS UP!

The values for HDDs in the initial post are 5°C too high. Most manufacturers specify their HDDs to work up to 55°C. Some go up to 60°C (WD, Seagate, and afair newer Fujitsu drives).
65°C is too high. If your HDD dies and the SMART data shows that it has been running above the specified maximum temperature the manufacturer will refuse to replace it within warranty regulations.

Hey guys, i have an Acer 5750G with a i7 2630QM and when i play games the temps are always in danger zone according to this guide even with TurboBoost deactived. The max temperature was 84º C playing 1 hour to GTA4.

I'm so worried about that but i asked for temps of the same i7 procesor and diferent manufacturers and the people says they have the same "problem", practicly same temps at idle and at full.

The notebook have 1 month and i don't know what to do, if talk to acer service or live with that temps...

What would you do?

PS: I have a Tacens Vinci, but the temps down anything, 1 or 2º at most...

Thanks in advance and sorry y english.

I am surprised a company like asus does not at least have a gadget to monitor GPU and CPU temps at least built into the images it provides for its gaming laptops. I always downclock unless I am gaming or viewing videos to keep temps down also, but still check often.
