Normal temps for a 860m?

[The Mad Titan]

Hi!

Got a Asus ROG G771JM a week ago, and could really use your input.
So far the laptop is awesome, and runs awesomely anything I throw at it.

I've been checking the temps, and the 860m runs at about 40 - 45 ºC when idle and at a peek of 85 ºC when gaming. Are these normal/acceptable? I am thinking about getting a cooling pad, but would like your opinion on whether these temps are to be expected.

Thanks in advance!

Those temperatures are what I would call extremely normal, I will still recommend the use of a cooling pad when gaming since heat is the "enemy" of all things electric, keeping the temps down will help extend the life of the components.

Will do! Thanks for your reply!

Mine runs idle at about 38-42, on HIGH load OC'd i max out at 65.
