    There is no such thing as a “Samsung NP70Z5BH”. Please clarify what you’re talking about.

    I see. I suggest you move your RAM issue to another question. In this new question, please provide a screenshot of Resource Monitor’s memory view.

Your laptop has an Intel i7-2675QM processor. This is a mobile CPU rated at up to 100°C. As such the temperatures are perfectly normal.

I have a similar mobile CPU that reaches up to 90°C when gaming.

  • I didn't even think to check the rating. Also, I didn't know Tjunction was the max temp rating. Thanks.

Getting Thermal Paste will surely not solve your problem. If you upgrade your cooling, i.e., get liquid cooling or add additional fans, only then the heat will dissipate properly.

Your motherboard probably has 2 RAM slots (1X2GB & 1X4GB) and so when you buy RAM, you'll have to replace the 2GB one. Also make sure that the RAM is dual-channeled (i.e., having two RAM boards of the same type) so that your computer can read and write to the memory at the same time.
