MysterD: Yeah, temps are mad low. Like, when doing nothing - 28-35 degrees Celsius.
Under load - sure, it actually gets...a bit hotter. Normal temps - in the 60's to 75C ballpark.
For comparison. my desktop:
* When idle, could go down to the 50's; with basic web browsing, perhaps in the 60s
* With mild/moderate stress, will go up to 100C, at which point the CPU throttles down to less than 250 MHz in an attempt to avoid overheating. (If I notice this while web browsing, I'll switch to a virtual terminal. send SIGSTOP to all Chromium processes, and then wait for things to cool down a bit before sending SIGCONT.)
* On semi-rare occasions, particularly if I let it work at 100C for too long, everything will freeze, the LEDs on my PS/2 keyboard (Num/Caps/Scroll Lock) will blink, and the entire system will shut down abruptly.
To give you an idea of what I can and can't do:
* Youtube works fine at 480p; at 720p, it will throttle after a couple minutes or so.
* Playing a downloaded video with mplayer will work at 1080p; if the video is higher quality than that, however, there will be throttling (and my monitor can only display 1080p).
Celeste works fine; it may throttle on the map screen, but in-game I can play for a long time without any issues.
Hollow Knight does not: It runs smoothly at first, but then there's so much lag that the game is unplayable. (Note that this is an action game.)
Ikenfell does not run at all, even though that game can run fine on my small laptop (Celeron, 4GB RAM).

Of interest:
* 28C is about 83F
* 35C is about 95F
As far as a human is concerned, these are hot, but manageable, temperatures; in other words, if it's this hot outside, it's still safe if reasonable precautions are taken, and it actually does get this hot during the summer.
