Hi everyone.
I recently bought the Samsung NP350V5C-S08IL.
Specs:
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM Processor 2.4GHz
Memory: 8GB DDR3
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7670M 2GB
Resolution: 1366x768
HDD: 1TB 5400RPM

When I play games like Battlefield 3 on any settings (low/medium/high) it plays it perfectly with amazing fps considering it is a laptop afterall, but of course, as you may guess, the laptop heat is... like fire.
I checked with SpeedFan while running the game, and the temperature of the cores vary from 72 to 87. Is this a temperature that the i7-3630 can handle with ease or should I just stop playing games like Battlefield 3?
What are the recommended ( an okay ) temperatures for the cores, the HDD and the GPU while playing such games?
 


Thanks alot!
 
Hm, have you considered getting a cooling paste for your GPU and CPU? trust me it does help a lot, or a cooling stand :) dont push your GPU to its limits :)
 


A good idea.
Can you recommend some good cooling pastes?
 


Thanks alot, will get one soon!
