Are my GPU temps too high on my laptop?

[rnshah5]

Hi everyone, this is my first post, so I am sorry if I am posting in the wrong place .

I own a g73sw-bst6 with a 2630qm i7 and a gtx 460m.


I have had my laptop for about 8-9 months. About a month or so ago, the keyboard started to get a bit warm on the top right near the power button.

Right now as I type this with only google chrome, and almost no programs running it is idling at 68degrees C. When I play games(like Warcraft 3, Diablo 3, and Starcraft 2) I get up to about 85-89 degrees)

Sometimes, my games crash and the screen starts to flicker and distort(forcing me to restart, I get the "Nvidia driver ### has crashed and has repaired itself" from windows.

I have updated my drivers to the latest version, so the only thing I can think of is that it is heat related.

I just want to confirm that it is a heat issue, is 89degrees Celsius too high?


Thanks

What program are you using to monitor your temps? Can you set the program to show teperature to TJMax? If you get within 10C of TJMax, yep, it's a heat issue.
