Dell Latitude E6420 Overheat Problems

Questions: I recently run PassMark Burn-In Test ver. 7 on my Latitude E6420 i7-2630QM with Nvida NVS 4200M 512M video card (dvd drive for dell latitude e6420). During the test I noticed that the GPU temperature is about 103C and the software reported "failed test" because of this high temperature. The CPU temperature is also high, around 93C. Is this normal? Answers: This is a known problem with the E6420 (e6420 xfr dvd burner) 14" laptop and Quad core CPU's. The problem is Dell packed a lot of power into a 14" laptop. When running at max load, the cooling system simply can't keep up.
(dvd drive for dell latitude e6420 atg) 1. Ensure you have the latest BIOS installed. Dell has changed the thermal curves for the fan in recent bios updates.
2. Ensure you have the DUAL HEATPIPE heatsink DELL P/N - TYP01.
3. Order this copper shim kit.
4. Use a good thermal paste / compound.
