hi Allessandro, I have somewhat lower temperatures than you in the meantime. With my Notebook, temperatures are down to 45 degrees (for GPU) and 47 degrees for my CPU.
And also your output shows, that the driver actually works good for you. The termperatures, you write about are really normal with thep proprietary driver and this is by far less thant the temperatures with the nouveau driver. Because with the opensource nouveau-driver, temperatures would be at about nearly 80 degrees until up to a 86 as peek. And this will damage each GPU and for the graphiccard, this would mean the ultimative death. You write, that the graphiccard should be rather hotter. No, this is not good for your graphic, if it would turn hotter than 70 degrees. I had the peak at an 86 degrees with the nouveau driver and it nearly made my graphiccard melt down!!! This would kill your graphic. This means: the lower the GPU-temperature is, the better it is for your graphic.
