very hot laptop...or maybe not

[the drizzle]

ive got a "gaming" laptop w/ 3 ghz p4 ht, 512 mb ram, ati mobility radeon 9600. It has always been hot. I downloaded speedfan and it says HD0= 39C and Temp1=75C. This does not sound good to me, but i honestly dont know. Could anyone tell me how bad this is?

Mine goes even farther, 80 C. download SpeedFan, and max out the fan settings.

Well you have to have fans that tell you the RPM, most dont.

It's a laptop, they get really really hot. I think they are built to operate just inside the temperature damage threshold. Mine gets super hot, and the exhaust on the side sometimes gets too hot to touch! But i dont fret, neither should you.
