Hi, My laptop's specs are as follows
Intel Core I5 2450
Geforce GT 630M
4 GB RAM
750 GB HDD
My laptop generally doesn't feel very hot to the touch when I'm doing normal stuff like browsing the internet or watching movies, but it does get REALLY hot when I'm gaming (Dark Souls, Dead Space, Hitman Absolution and other games that require a good CPU/GPU), the left side of my laptop gets really, really hot, so does my AC Adapter, it has to be said though that my hands are very sensitive to heat. I've tried three different adapters and the same thing happens. but this overheating isn't new, it's always been like this from day one, or when I started gaming 2-3 months after purchase, the laptop is 2 and a half years old,
I've never experienced forced shutdowns or blue screens or performance drops no matter how hot it gets or how long I play in AC mode. I've never had a problem with it's performance. I'm often surprised by it's performance (Can run games like Shadow of Mordor and Resident Evil 6 too) I do have a cooling pad, and I use it when I'm gaming, and it lowers the heat very slightly, almost unnoticeable.
Speedfan readings are always high, Temp1 and Core0 are always on fire (Flames), Core1 keeps fluctuating from green to 'flames', GPU is 0 when it's not in use, Temp1, Core0, Core1 are all between 48-58 when the computer is idle, but when I'm gaming, they all shoot up to 80-90 (doesn't cross 100 ever)
I must say that it does get pretty hot, but not to a degree where I can't touch my laptop or handle my ac adaptor, but I'm concerned about the speedfan readings (I've tried other software too, they give me a similar reading) and I'm wondering if there are ways to lower the temperature down, and make the laptop feel cooler to the touch. Performance-wise, the laptop is showing no signs of slowing down.
