how hot is too hot?

ok i am running an Alienware M15x (laptop). and it gets really hot when gaming i am using Thermofan to find temps and its saying my cpu is about 45c and my Graphics card is abour 71c. is that too hot?and if so(other than laptop coolers) are there other ways to cool it down???

Yeah thats fine. worry if your gpu gets over 90, i dunno about the cpu.

ok thanks, maybe my fears were just inflated because all the heat is less than a few centimeters from my hands.

Has it always ran this hot? if not i would suggest getting a can of compressed air and blow out the heat sink, which should be visible from the vents on the backside. If there is too much dust in your heat sink it will only get worse untill it does over heat, then all you can do is blow it out and hope nothing was dmged
