GPU getting 200+ Fahrenheit Dangerous?
Sosseres:
If there is a fan controlled by the graphics card's drivers then riva tuner should work for setting fan speeds. I use it for that on my stationary in order to hear when the temp ramps up and knowing that is the source of any BSOD.

Downloading it now, Lol it was funny...how when I bought this, the system got hot with 20min so I called HP, they checked it out, they said the BIOS it was loaded on was the wrong one ._. how the heck does that happen?!
edit: have riva installed, NFI what to do

I set it up in a totally different way so not sure if that works at all. Perhaps it would have been smarter to start out with GPU-Z (or similar) to see if you even have a fan controlled by the GPU or if it is on passive cooling...

I think the reccomended max temprature for the dual/quad core is about 65C. It prolly depends on the age of the processor. Newer ones are made to handle more heat.

GPU's are not CPU's.
GPU's always run hotter than CPU's. Modern ones anyways. They're made for it.
90c is most definitely tolerable. It won't fry your chip. Breaking 100c should be your cutoff mark, because that will damage the GPU. In a laptop, this will compound the heat due to lack of space. It seems the 6150 has a problem with heat dissipation glancing at some forum posts. I'd head over to overclock.net and ask for solutions. They're an intelligent bunch.

Followed guide, it picked up nothing on graphics card.
Here's GPU-Z screenies, maybe it'll help.
