graphics-card

I have a Dell Inspiron Q17R with two graphic cards and I noticed that it is overheating. I installed Bumblebee, Jupiter and Flashblock, and I followed this guide as well, but it still got up to 74C.

Is there anything more I can do? It still doesn't really seem to be working well and the fan keeps spinning really fast.

After performing the following test:

sensors

in the terminal, this is what I got:

Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +75.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)
temp2:        +75.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:  +68.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0:         +68.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:         +65.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

it doesn't look good.

Why does my laptop resume immediately after suspend?
