    If its Fahrenheit No lol, that would be normal.

    If that was the real temperature in Celsius, yeah id be worried. Whats Core Temp showing the TJMax at? I am assuming thats the 740QM should be 100. Processor should have shut down by now.

    212F = 100C

    You're safe :) (as far as I can tell).

    38C is roughly the temp converted from Farenheight, which is really good for an idle temp.
