I7-2630QM heat

[sam_fisher]

Hello all,

Whenever I game on my HP DV6, which has got an i7 2630QM and ATI 6770M, it gets to about 80 degrees celsius. Is that considered hot? I have a cooling pad with three fans that I use, and I've limited the processor to 92% so that it doesn't turbo boost and get hotter. The ambient temp is about 28 degrees celsius.

It is quite normal for laptop to reach that temperature. Don't limit the cpu to 92% and allow turbo boost. No point doing this to a laptop that is running ok.
