The CPU is a Intel Core i3-3217u with the Intel HD 4000,
I was playing Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Multiplayer and went to put my hand on my laptop fan/grill/whatever its called to see how hot it is and it felt a little too hot.
the cores were running at a combined temp of over 120 degrees 69 was the average for 1 core, is this safe for a laptop?
