Greetings and salutations,
I picked up a Y730 a few months ago. Recently, I've noticed a considerable amount of stop and start while gaming (specifically after upgrading to Windows 7). I ran CPUID Hardware Monitor, and I found that while gaming the Core Temperature of my processors are running at around 80 degrees Celsius. The GPU temperature is running at around 75 degrees C.
I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this kind of overheating or had a similar experience after upgrading. I thought it might be the drivers/software - so I reinstalled everything. I've ordered a laptop cooler that should arrive on Monday, but I wanted to see if this was normal or if something was potentially wrong with my system.

These temperatures are quite OK. I'd rather say your GPU is not heating the way it should.
