I have noticed that doing simple things like watching youtube will bring my CPU temps up to around 140, and whenever I've felt the air coming out of my computer, it feels cold. Like actually room temperature. Even having my fans on MAX brings my temps up to 120 just watching youtube.

    Temperatures are usually taken in Centigrade when talking about electronics. 60C/140F is perfectly normal when web browsing. Your CPU will never be close to room temperature unless it is turned off.

    The temperature Predator Sense is reading is the temperature of the actual cores. The CPU itself is about the size of your index finger nail, so by the time all the concentrated heat is out the back of your laptop, the actual temperature has decreased considerably.
