my hp envy m6 1103tx feels like its getting hot
the specs are
2.5 GHz Intel Core i5-3210M 3 MB L3 cache
Memory
6 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics
AMD Radeon HD 7670M (2 GB DDR3 dedicated)
Hard Drive
750 GB SATA (5400 rpm)
normal conditions like browsing and office the temperature is around 48-60
and when playing games like metalgear rising or advanced warfare it is usually 89-95
is it ok and it smells like heated plastic near the exhaust vent and i don't use a cooling pad

The temp should be closer to 40 C, and this is way too hot.

Try vacuuming out the exhaust ports.

Can also try a cooling pad.

If this does not get it down, may need to open it up, clean it further, and reapply the thermal paste on the CPU.
