I bought Dell Ispiron M5040 back in 2011. Even then i noticed that the laptop was running hotter than i expected it to run on not so demanding use. I played games, surfed the internet for 3 years and only now got the idea to really ask if the temperatures are fine for a laptop like this one. I used before HWMonitor to see how hot it would get. So today i measured the idle temperatures and temperatures while watching videos on youtube. On idle the laptop averaged at about 57 celsius degrees which to me is really hot knowing that the laptop is almost not doing anything. After watching videos on youtube, average temperatues were around 70 degrees and went up to 81. So should i be concerned for this or should i ignore it like i did for 3 years already or even buy a cooling pad?
