Concerned about my CPU Temp

[bellsnwhistles]

I use Real Temp and currently have a reading of 59c
Distance to TJMax is 41c
Minimum is 56c
Maximum is 60c
Thermal status ok

It's roughly 90F outside right now but it don't feel like it and we have no ac in the house but it's not excessively hot (it feels somewhat cool inside) and especially with the door open and a cheap fan pointing to my laptop. The laptop is raised from the table and I am not obstructing the fans.

It's a MSI L1350
CPU Intel Atom N450

I heard that you want to keep things under 40c under load but guessing this depends on one's particular case.

Are these temps considered safe? Still learning to use this software. Any suggestions?

Also this program does not seem to have a way of keeping it on top. I don't like the idea of having to alternate between windows to check my temp. Hopefully not asking too much here.

This is a laptop? Get a cool pad.

Ok price is an object right now but when possible are there any specific recommendations and should I avoid using the laptop here for now?

I think it's a 13 inch screen

Also assuming since nights may be cooler it is ok to use

You won't burn it up, the CPU will throttle and shut down if it gets too hot.

They not expensive anyway. Will pick one up soon. Thanks much.

if you have not had your laptop cleaned out every year or at least 2, especially if you have cats or a dog you will burn out the solder on the VGA. first you will get vertical lines, then big pixels.. then BSOD.!

don't blow air in the case it will just jam a big wad of dust inside and totally block the cooling system.. if you do ever have to have the CPU/VGA block removed be sure to have them use nano diamond paste. it is 4.5X better conductor of heat. and real cheap.

Might end up keeping my new Dell still not sure yet. But if I do, for sure I will shop around for a Cooling Pad. This new room I'm in gets very hot in the summertime. Even today was very hot so I just shut it down. Maybe I'm been over protective but I rather be than end up with problems.

@ passn_thru2 this is a new start for me with a new laptop. Thanks for tips. Late reply but the post is still useful.

For now I will install Real Temp or what is recommended?

I use CPUID's HwMonitor, it seems to work pretty well for me. Although, I don't know what the recommended software is around here.
