Nvidia 3600M normal temperatures?

The temperature of my 3600M (Nvidia 8800m, G92 based) runs all day at a temperature of 60-64 C while doing simple text based MS Word work. Are these temperatures abnormally high and/or high enough to pose a danger to my notebook?

I use CPUID HWMonitor 1.08 (32 bit) to monitor the thermal sensors of my Dell Precision M6300 with a T9300 and XP Pro. The middle to the upper right part of my keyboard is almost always very hot. When I run more intensive programs (such as Adobe CS3 Design Master) the temperatures picked up by all of the thermal sensors in my notebook go way up (the GPU quickly goes up to 70-80 C and higher) at which point the fans come on and quickly cool down the whole notebook. However, the fans turn off very quickly and only come on under intensive use. Is the 60-64 C daily use of my GPU, during which my fans never come on, abnormally high or a danger to my notebook?

My ACPI THM sensor runs 48-62 C all day under mild use with no fan activity. Is this too hot or hot enough to damage my notebook? Like my GPU temperature, my ACPI THM goes way up under intensive use, at which point the fans finally come on and cool the whole notebook way down. However, the fans do not come on during day long mild use during which my ACPI THM runs 48-62 C, and my GPU runs 60-64 C, with no fans to cool things down. Is this normal and not dangerous? Or is this a sign that something is wrong/too hot and a danger to the notebook?

By the way, I can lower all of the thermal sensors (notably the GPU) by 1-3 C simply by elevating the backend of the notebook 2 inches so that it sits at an angle on my desk - presumably the vents on the bottom of the notebook can push more hot air out of the case when there is more clearance beneath the notebook. However, 1-3 C reduction seems not to be enough.

Can any other users report their running temperatures (under mild and/or heavy use)?

Should I try to install and run I8kfangui? Is it too out of date? Will it create a tug of war between the bios instructions to the fans and the "I8kfangui" instructions to the fans?

 

I8kfangui should work, just set it to run the fans on low and that will drop your temps and get rid of the up and down ramping of the fans. The program takes over control of your fans, but you can set it back to let the system control the fans instead of I8kfangui.
