Laptop max temperature info needed.

I have my nephew's laptop here which to my knowledge seem's like it was over heating and as you would I gave it a good clean inside, I didn't apply any new thermal paste or anything due to the warranty but HP have gave permission for me to do so if needed without voiding it, so good on them :)

Anyways to the point I can't find any info about the maximum temperature for the CPU nor motherboard and just wondering if any of you guy's may know? I would ask HP but I feel a little cheeky considering I told them the temps went past the threshold :cool: (I do consider 81 to be too hot for a motherboard?)

HP G56-106sa - AMD Athlon II P320.
 
Well, how hot is it getting? 81C for a motherboard is way too hot, yes. 81F, no.
 
Opps didn't realise I missed that little detail out... I mean 81c, however since a good clean the temps like to sit around 65c under stress testing (for the motherboard & CPU) whilst the room temp is around 19 - 22c.
 
65C is still too hot for me to be comfortable with but it is okay.
 
I'd like it to be cooler too, but if it's within the threshold then that's that.
 
Has it locked up, BSOD'd, or anything? If so, it is still too, if not, it should be fine.
 
i got 60C full load on an i7
and 66C full load on the C2D

both on my laptop
 
80c is nothing to be worried about in a laptop... Ideal, no... Will it kill it like it would a desktop, no...
