Hello, I have an ASUS R751LB that has an i5 4200u and the temperatures are around average 65-67c while gaming (mostly CS:GO).

I use RealTemp that records the maximum temperature that it has reached while gaming and sometimes it reaches 72-73c (maximum, not the average temperature ) I use stock fan cooling and I am wondering if those temperatures are too high. maximum temperature in a session of around 5-7 hours of CS:GO are around 69-71c and the average (when i fast alt-tab) is around 65-67c

Should I get a cooling pad?

Yeah,Please get a Cooling Pad.Before that,Disassemble the Laptop and Clean it from Dust.etc.That's normal.The laptop I am working on with a Cooling pad idles more than 50c and reaches 90c and shuts down when i play NFS MW 2005 !

The laptop is 2 months old so I think there should be no too much dust in it yet :) I will try blowing the dust out in about 3-4 months (that i will change the thermal paste as well).

Thank you i7baby. I can videogame now with no worries =)
