Hello zombifier,
That does seem to be a bit hot, but in your part of the world its going to get hot.
I would clean all the vents and make sure the system fan is working OK.
Another option is to get a Laptop cool mat, this will reduce the temperature.

Hope this helps, good luck and post your results.

Thanks for your help Stuart... There is something that i tried.. and i think it worked, changing the game options to run in Direct3D rather than OpenGL. the CPU temperature dropped from 96 C. to 78 C.

Whats the secret? I cant tell :P

whats the difference between OpenGL and Direct3D?

anywayz, thanks a lot for your help brother

This will explain all, its a bit wordy though.

Comparison of OpenGL and Direct3D - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glad you got it sorted, good luck in all that heat.
