Sorry if this doesn't belong in this section

My cpu is running about 80 degrees Cel while I run this game.
I am wondering if this is a healthy temperature for short sessions.

My cpu is i7 core third gen
and graphics are Geforce GT 650m.

Thanks

The Tjunc on the gen3 i7 chip is in the 100s. Your best bet would be to get a cooling bad. Nothing else you can really do. They are just hot chips.

UT3 Engines have been known to uh.. Cooke some chips at times.

Sudjestion to you is this:

Check your fans make sure they're running good.

Check for Dust bunnies/balls that may be clogging your Heatsink.

Check your Min/Max temp that your Processor will have. Some will go up to 212 Ferint
like my amd Phenom 9450e will have.

Also, if you just feel lazy and have about maybe $80 to spend, get some liquid cooling
and have it installed. Just make sure your case can handle it first. ^^;

I think thats about it from end. take it easy.

You want to stay at least 15c below your tj max, which you are in this case, however if you're that close running ut3 you might well be getting too warm under other conditions. Reseat your computers heatsink using a decent thermal paste and check your cases airflow, you may need to add a fan or two.

It's a laptop, look at the video card.

Thanks for pointing that out, well, that could be just two then.

Dust on heatsink, or bad fan. =\

the max "safe" temp for an i7 3rd gen is 99c.
