    Shouldn't be an issue.
    If you're worried, download HW monitor and run it to check your temps.

    I'm guessing my laptop is safe? everything is under 60 C... what is a dangerous level where you should turn off your laptop?

    CPU: <60C
    GPU: <90C
    Those are the "safe zones" when on load. Idle would be lower than that.

    I usually leave my laptop one all the time and restart it once a week (unless I installed a software/driver that requires a restart). As long as it's not overheating, it should be fine.

    I think the safe CPU temp. is too low. I would say:

    CPU: <80C
    GPU: <90C

    are the safe zones for both components (when on load).
