These machines heat up , like, there is no tommorow !

 

 My machine, (similar tou your configuration) is liable of burning my laps !  Lots of heat !!

and I think it all begins from the darn GPU!

 

Just prepare yourself for a lot of heat !  There is not much you can do ! (from what I read in this and other forums)

My temps on the M1530 are:

    Fan on at 60°C

    Fan off at 50°C

 

I use I8kfangui (free) to monitor temps. Puts temp info in the notification area.

 

Compared to most other programs, the I8kfangui seems to be about 6-7°C low. Therefore, our temps are about the same, and I have about the same fan on/off cycling as you do. I think these temps are fine, and not a problem. My CPU temps run several degrees cooler.

 

Note that all laptops will feel hot when on your lap because heat is trapped beneath it. Only way to check external temps is to get an IR temp probe. The warmest area on the bottom of mine is just under the touchpad, and runs about 38-40°C.

 

There are a couple of good free tools you can use to moniture your GPU temp;

 

- HWMonitor

- GPU-Z

 

HWMonitor also monitors your cpu and disk temps.

For I8kfangui, go to:

This will monitor all temps.

As I type right now the Nvidia X Server says 65C, the fan generally knocks it back to around 55C.
