HP Dv7 Getting very hot

Last response: in Laptops & Notebooks

I have a relatively new Dv7 general specs include i7 2630qm (quad @ 2ghz), 6770 switchable graphics, 8gb ram ect.

Since i have had this laptop i havent really run anything too taxing on it, but recently i started playing EVE online (mmo) and i was wondering about the operating temps. EVE is not a high spec game by any means, its using maybe (maybe) 50% of the cpu but i am getting temps of 70-77 Celsius, even though the fan is running full tilt, the laptop is raised up by the 9 cell battery, and the room temp is about 16 celsius (60F). Is this normal? coming from my desktop, which only reaches 60C under full load this was alarming

Your temp is fine for laptop under load. Start worrying about it when it is over 85, you may then want to use a cooling pad. Laptop thermal limit is usually 105.

Run some benchmark on the laptop and monitor the temperature.

I have a DV6 with the 2630QM and 6770M graphics, I've noticed heat as well. Usually anywhere between 65C and 85C depending on the game. I get about 50-55 on idle with the 6770 graphics and 40-45 on idle with the Intel HD. They're hot laptops unfortunately.
