    Most have idle CPU temps at around 40-50C, with load temps around 60-70C at most. For GPU, idle temps should be similar if not in the high 30C range. Load temps will be higher- around 70-80C depending on the game. Ambient temps will affect all of the above by a few degrees either way, as will the surface you're working on.

    The 560m is rather low power compared to the higher model cards, so temps will be pretty low. Danger temps would be anything above 90-95C.

    It's warm, but not too unusual for the 560m. If you're staying below 90C, there's nothing to worry about yet.

    Just be careful you don't block the vents. The intakes are on the bottom of the laptop with the exhaust on the rear. If you cover those up, temps can go up pretty rapidly.
