I think my laptop is too hot. I have had it for 2 months and this seems to be a normal temperature for it to be at.
Here are my temperatures

Yes, it is TOO HOT! You could even cook a potato or a bacon there. Go to Powert Settings and set it to Moderate. If the temperature do not drop, contact the manufacturer. They must provide assistance: they will either check if there is any hardware problem or something with the system.

Yeah, definitely too hot, try replacing the thermal paste and cleaning out all the dust from the laptop. If it's still hot after that, get a cooling pad.

Don't do that. If you open the case, you will screw the warranty. Just contact the manufacturer.

If its still on warranty, take it in for a service/repair.

If not, pull the back off and blow if out with air. Turn it on and check the fan is spinning. See if temps are now OK

If not then get a laptop cooler for it. See if temps are OK.

If not, redo the cpu thermal paste - power off but plugged in , static strap on, remove cpu cooler, clean thermal paste off cooler and cpu with isopropyl alcohol, apply a small rice grain to pea size drop of Arctic Circle thermal paste, replace cooler, re-assemble laptop and try again

Yeah, I wouldn't operate it unless you absolutely have to; with those temps you risk severe thermal damage.
