I got a new alien ware laptop for Christmas its a 17 inch with a i7 16gbs of ram and a 780m what ever that's not the point! The point is on idle it says its 145 Celsius which if you ask me is hot even not knowing much about computers when i touch it it burns me almost to the point of screaming and i'm a tough guy but it gets worse i usually do a fair amount of video editing and when under full load it gets to 340 which is when i call it quits and turn it off it almost caught my bed on fire but i was blessed enough to turn it off before it caught on fire! i'm getting all these temps from speccy which is a from my research a reliable source on temps and system specs please help! what is normal idle temp and a full load temp for a high performance laptop!?
