I have an alienware m17x with an Intel core i7-3630QM @ 2.40Ghz, but it is running this hot running a simple game like tf2 on low graphics and I cannot figure out why:

It runs this hot often and I'm fairly sure it's unhealthy for the computer. I'm trying my best to vent the computer but the 2 fans are on the bottom and the only thing I can prop it up on is a notebook between the fans. Anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it?

I'm not sure if it's reading it correctly, but I cleared the dust out of the fans yesterday
