Are these temps normal?

I have an HP DV9035nr laptop and have the following temperatures under normal non-3D usage.

HD 1 51
HD 2 42
GPU 69
CPU 1 66
CPU 2 66

My fan is almost always running, the vents seem clear, and it is raised above a glass desk with plastic bottle caps.
 
the gpu is pretty hot, the procoessor definately isn't cool either. I'd say it's at the upper area of normal operating range tho. What program did you use to find that information. Some of them don't report temperatures correctly.
 
I am using EVEREST to monitor my temps, it is a pretty cool program, there is a free 30 day trial, but it has some limits, such as not displaying temps for hard drives. I'm sure there are other limitations too, but you should check it out.
 
All my temps used to run in the 40-60 degree ranges, and just yesterday I bought a LapCool4 notebook cooler. After around 30 minutes of regular usage right now, my temps are:

HD: 29
GPU: 40
CPU Core 1: 28
CPU Core 2: 32

If you're concerned I'd invest in a cooler. ;)
 
everest is a pretty good program, and it seems to be reliable, i got it back when they had a free home edition. Typically when it reports temperatures they are accurate, i was thinking it might be the program if you were using something like speed fan which typically gives messed up temperatures in addition to not telling you what temperature goes with what piece of hardware. If you can easily get at your processor and are tech savvy enough i'd recommend putting some arctic silver thermal paste on your processor, you could also invest in a cooler. Some of them aren't very good but others do a better job.

Except that Everest can predict WAY off temps...

I suggest your BIOS as they have most accurate temperatures, or PC Wizard if it is an Pentium. I've hard problems with PC W. with my Sempron 2600+... like temps of 15C...
