High temps Gl551jw laptop

Hi all,

I use my laptop regularly.. I have basically replaced my desktop with it. Anyways a few months ago I noticed I was having some graphic issues in games. Not sure of the correct term but tearing or stuttering would probably be the best description I can give. Mind you nothing had changed as far as in game settings. Anyways I started changing the in game settings. I believe I just had them at the presets which was something like medium/high. Now even if I have them at the very lowest in game presets available I still see what I consider very high temps.
CPU I have seen as high as 96C and GPU I believe has been somewhere between 80-90C.
I have always played on a hard flat surface. I have lapdesk I use (there are no fans or venting but it is a hard flat surface) I have also played at my desk with no obstructions nearby to block airflow. The ambient temp is generally around 70F.

Is something wrong with the laptop or are others seeing these same temps while gaming on this model?
