Question:
8600m gs temps

They should be alright, my friend also has the f3sv and his temps idle around 77 C and 94 C under load. However, you should invest in a notebook cooling pad the zalman nc-1000 is a great choice (i'm using it and it cools mine considerably). If it bothers you, contact asus and I'm sure they will replace it for you. Does it slow down considerably after gaming for awhile and/or display artifacts?

You should be able to check your threshold temp using nTune Nvmonitor. I have the same exact gfx card and my threshold is at 126.
