I tend to Google search the processor to find out what the TJunction  temperature is.  CPU-World is a good site to find that information.   

If the temperature that  a member is concerned about isn't within 10-15 degrees of TJunction or the Maximum operating temperature then it isn't really overheating.

At the suggestion of Expert  CherylG, I  purchgased and use a notebook stand to keep my notebook cool and increase  its intake and exhaust air  circulation.  Otherwise my knees can get uncomfortably warm when I am using the notebook for gaming.
