This game makes my laptop almost catch on fire...

hi i have an alienware m17xr3, gtx 580m, i7-2760qm 2.4-3.5 turbo, 8gb ram

when i monitor my temperatures my gpu temp jumps around between 58-65 celsius which isnt too bad..but then i look at my core temps and they can hit up to 80 which is really a surprise to me because usually they remain in the 50s when i am playing other games (borderlands 2, crysis 2, bf3)

yes i know laptops arent the best for gaming but i havent had a problem until now with this game

i usually run this game on medium FXAA 4x AA and get fps 40+ but it really heats up my laptop

i am not overclocking and my laptop is sitting on a cooler master wit 2 fans

i have a feeling it might be the new 313 drivers i just installed because i havent noticed this problem until i installed them but idk why that would be the problem

also the game doesnt seem to use 99% of my gpu it tends to jump up and down a little bit which it doesnt for my other games
