I got a laptop for school and gaming a little while back and couldn't afford one with dedicated graphics. I got a Lenovo G570 and have recently opened up realtemp GT to find my laptop is hitting 90c
That's shockingly high to me and so I stopped gaming on it until I could get a chillpad. I haven't gamed on it yet but a 10 minute stress in prime95 gave me a temp of 89c without the pad and 84c with the pad. I'm hoping that gaming won't push it as hard for as long a time as prime95 so maybe the peak temps will be intermittent.
What ever the case whats a safe temp for a sandybridge in a laptop?
