Hello!

Basically, I have a laptop, which is an Asus K40ID, which is turning 3 next month and its running at 103°C. I use SpeedFan, so I know its reliable and the graphics card is at 103°C and the CPU at 90°C.... when playing minecraft.... yeah.....

The most pixelated low-end game and I'm getting these temperatures.... no modding, no fancy texture packs.... no blocking the vents.... just 100°C+

At idle, the GPU never drops below 60°C and its been doing this since new! :D
And theres no fancy specs either! no OC or anything:
-Core 2 duo T6570 (2.1ghz dual core)
-GT320m w/ 1gb vram
-2gb ddr2 ram

Sooooo....... just wanted to know what you guys think....
P.S: I am aware that when it reaches 115°C, a nuclear meltdown will occur, but, hey, hasn't happened so far (yet)!
:D

My 5 yr. old Dell XPS m1530 just recently started overheating and shutting down during game-play as well. It didn't have much dust inside it, but the thermal compound on the CPU and Northbridge was wore out. The GPU (Nvidia 8600M GT) had a thermal pad only, no grease. It felt degraded too. This was factory.

I replaced the old compound and pads with new thermal paste on the CPU, GPU, and northbridge. Blew out what dust it had in it as well. It runs a lot cooler now. Staying under ~70c-75c both CPU and GPU while under load.

The thermal threshold for your CPU is 100c, according to Intel. Your GPU threshold is ~105c. I recommend you blow it out, and replace the thermal paste on the GPU, CPU, and Northbridge(if applicable) with new compound.

My old laptop's GTX260m would run at that level at load. I used it for three years, and still do occasionally. No idea why it hasn't melted. Your cpu temp scares the living crap out of me, though :D
