Laptop Temps

[HotDamn!]

My girlfriend just recently got a laptop but I'm a little worried about the temps. I've had a laptop before and know that they can get hot but I've never checked the temps until now and was wondering if I should be concerned?

Here's the temps and this is just on start up, it was a little more hot the other night. CPU was about 140 +



Thanks for any help

If you can, get her to use a cooling pad. My wife has a bad habbit of using her laptop on our bed. Yep you guessed it. When you use a laptop on a bed all the air vents are covered. That leads to heat. She was using it and then freaked out when the thing just went black. I turned it over and it was very hot to the touch. CPU had overheated and shut off. I left it off overnight and tried the next morning. It worked fine. I told her to actually use the cooling pad that I had bought her months before and that if she fried the cpu from heat by not using the pad that I wouldn't get her a new one. She's been using the cooling pad ever since.

My girl seems to like the bed with her laptop also I'll go look at some cooling pads, thanks!

Laptops normally run fairly hot. One reason they aren't well suited to long encodes. I use my laptop on my lap, but I do use a cooling pad that keeps the air vents open. (And it keeps my legs a lot cooler. )
