How hot is it running and what are you using to monitor your temperatures?

Atm im using everest home edition if u can direct me to a better program.
On Idle no programs running It sits on like 54C While Gaming Its running at like 65-70C Which seems a bit hot But im not sure thats why im here to ask

Is this a laptop? If so, then the only thing you can really do is get one of those laptop coolers that your laptop sits on top of.

Anything with a fan should be good enough. What size is your laptop?
