    If your idle temperatures are 60ยบ, that's a bit hot (although not unhealthy). You might want to open up the laptop and clean the vents and fans of any dust.

    Woahh just by blowing it out it's dropped to 68c and i mean blowing it with my mouth..

    Holy smokes it's down to 43c while running ragnorok xD

    hehe so it now has a range of 43-69c when on ragnorok that's a big improvement :D
