Depends, what do you use your laptop for? A way that you can try to cool your laptop down is to take the keyboard off and either a) blow out the mobo with a compressed air can or b) take a small vacuum to suck out all the dust and debris that has accumulated. The other thing is to attempt to clean out your vents on your laptop that allow your components to breath. Another thing that you can do to keep it cool is, if you leave your laptop on a desk while you use it and you can have it plugged in take the battery out. The battery typically contributes a lot to the heat.
