HP M7 laptop with Intel 6th Gen i7-6500U is running at 55-60 degrees Celsius while idle. I'm using NZXT CAM. Last night it was like 70-80 Celsius but I opened it up and blew all the crap out earlier today. I also use a laptop cooler that the laptop goes on. But I still think that 55-60C is way to hot for idle. I've had the laptop since Christmas 2015, it's about 1.5 y/o.
I know about CPU thermal paste and maybe that has run out or just stopped... working. But after some research I see that the only way to get to the CPU is by pretty much taking the laptop apart completely, which I do not trust myself with. And Bestbuy charges $50 to take out one screw so I'd like to not bring it to Geeksquad.
How come my CPU is so hot? I would give you my GPU temps but NZXT is stupid and says it's 0C and 0% load.
