Hi guys, thanks for reading in advance. I have a question concerning my CPU temperatures while gaming because it worries me. I own a Dell XPS 15 L502x with a I7 2670qm sandy bridge processor and a Nvidia gt540m video card. Both are not overclocked.
Now comes the problem: Whenever I start up games like Battlefield: Bad Company 2 or Splinter Cell: Conviction the temperature starts at 78+ degrees and is after 5 minutes up to 90+ degrees.
I contacted Dell, and before they replaced a fan and applied new cooling paste, the temperature kicked in at 98 degrees while playing both mentioned games, and now It kicks in at like 94, but still too hot for me. What can I do? Call Dell again? Or can I apply anything else to my laptop? I'm not a technician, so I can't screw open my laptop and start fixing things.
I'd love an answer!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that my GPU temperature is at 78 degrees when playing the games.
EDIT 2:I'm running a 64 bit windows 7 operating system, 8 gigs of ram and I enabled my Nvidia processor as my standard processor instead of the Intel Graphics option.
