High temperatures with HP Envy 15 i7 4700mq

[donchoko]

Hello,
I got an HP Envy 15, I've been using it mostly to browse,videocalls and light gaming.
I checked the temperatures with HWmonitor, CoreTemp and RealTemp,
and I noticed the temperatures are kinda hot:

Idle: 39-45C°
Browsing & video calls: 45-50C°
Gaming: 60C°-82C° (Depends on the game, some make it avg 70s others stay in 60s)

I am not sure if those temps are normal or if they are hot for this kind of CPU. Other things that worry me is the way the temps change, they seem pretty quick, like from 50 to 60 in a second, is that a bad reading or really works like that? I do have a cooling pad and help but doesn't make such a big difference. So, it would be really helpful if someone could give me some advices or tell me if this is normal.

Thank you very much.

Specs:
Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ (2,4 GHz, 6 MB de caché L3)
DDR3 de 12 GB
NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M


CPU: i7 4700mq
GPU: Nvidia gt740m

The temp i normal on ur laptop.i have the same cpu on my new Aw 17 and idle a lil bit lower than yoylu wihout cooling pad.try using cooling pad to elininate some degress.also bear in mind that my laptop have a seperate fan and heatsink for.cpu and gpu.also crysis 3 runs at 68-70ish temp.

As i said as well it depends on the laptop cooling ability and form factor.mine has a separate fan and heatsink for the gpu and cpu.and also a good ventilation system which makes it cool better.best bet is to get a laptop cooling pad and apply a good thermal paste.

i think that is normal since the max temp is 100 C and anyway the Pc will shut down if it gets really hot or atleast it will bottleneck itself.
my temps are a bit lower than yours but are almost the same during these conditions

idle-36-39
normal use- 40-43
gaming 65-70
try getting a cooling pad or atleast allow some ventilation

i have a y50 with the same processor and a really good inbuilt cooling system
