I have an envy 17 jo29nr... I've had an overheating problem and to make a long story shorter, I re-installed windows 8 and then 8.1 fresh on a HDD (I have to do both to keep my legit product key as you can't install 8.1 with a 8 key, which is lame). The temps went to normal, spiking at 70c. To determine it wasn't my fault, I re-installed windows on the SSD and here I am, haven't updated to 8.1 yet, and it's idling around 70c. That's a lot more than 40-45 that it runs on the HDD. SSD's run far cooler and I have no clue how or why this is possible. Google hasn't been kind to providing me with more insight. If anyone has 2 cents to throw my way, I'd appreciate it. I didn't think my SSD was that fast, but going back to the HDD, it's like night and day and I really would rather keep the SSD.
