    So i bought this laptop June 16, It's not very old.. Wondering about my temps.. I dont do anything crazy with it except, browse, youtube, music, maybe a movie and thats about it. I noticed if I put the computer in "Balanced" mode the fans come on every like 5 minutes I feel like, but If i stick it in power saver they come on every so often, Highest I've seen my laptop get is 59/60c ever and that was when i was encoding. (i tried stressing it to see how hot it would get, the first day i bought it). The fans kick on every time the temp seems to hit 50c. I've never really owned a laptop before so i'm not very familiar with operating temperatures, and what is considered normal.. but here are my temps...

    I would say your CPU temps are fine. My 17" is in the ballpark too when it's idle. I wouldn't worry too much about the fans coming on - maybe that's what's needed to keep those temps. My fans are on low most of the time too.

    It probably doesnt also help that the airflow in my room isn't very good...
