So I have i7-6700HQ. its MSI laptop and its working for 6-7 hours i think. Its new laptop I received 5 days ago, I checked the tempatures from msi dragon gaming center, my CPU is around 60-65 but I remember it was around 55 when browsing some sites. Is it ok?
 
Solution
Laptops, by nature, run very hot. No way around this since there is almost no airflow through such a thin casing and heatsink size is abysmally small compared to a desktop. The only solution is when used at home to use a laptop cooling pad, which acts as a giant heatsink paired with some fans, that cools the underside of the casing. Laptops running in the 90° range is not uncommon, so your temps are actually quite good, mainly due to light usage on a very cool running cpu platform.
