Mass Effect 2 - Game temperature - is this normal?

I have myself a new GE60 0ND laptop

i7 3630QM - 2.5ghz - turbo 3.4 ghz

GTX 660M 2GB DDR5

8GB DDR3 RAM

I'm playing at 1080p, x8 forced AA, x16, x8 supersampling, x16 anisotropic filtering and it's a constant 70 degrees... Wasn't expecting that kind of temperature for such an old game..

Temperature - 70 degree

FPS - 30-40

I'm not the greatest with technology as I've nly just become interested in PC gaming (well aware of laptops forgaming but it fills my gaming needs but also my universit needs, architectural technology student)

My question, which these somewhat decent specs, is this a normal temperature? Or is because I'm forcing AA, 1080p?

I'm worried as I was expecting through benchmark videos of Far Cry to play this on high settings 720p, but if it can't handle mass effect 2 on 1080p, can't imagine the temperatures for Far Cry 3 the hardware destoyer.

    A bit unsettling considering notebookcheck benchmarks my GTX660M at 40 fps for Ultra Borderlands 2.

    Blame it on the drivers.  Throughout the history of the UT3 game engine's existence, Geforce cards have periodically done quite poorly rendering the games, such as ME-1, 2, & 3.  70 degrees Celcius isn't "high", however, 40 fps is "low" for that card.

    I've noticed a pattern with my GE60 and every game I play causes GPU to reach 70 degrees but never goes any higher, just played Far Cry 3 x2 MSAA and everything high at 720p and barely touches 75 degrees..

    I do think 40 fps is a bit low, but I am playing 1080p, FXAA, x8 CSAA/Supersampling, x16 anisotropic.

    Kind of expected 60 fps for a 2010 game on a relatively new GPU, can only hope the new drivers I'm downloading may have a performance increase.
