Normal CPU temperature ?

Hello, I am owner of my Dell Vostro 15 3000 series laptop, bought it exactly 1 year ago. 
Since the last few days I've noticed that cpu temperature have been over 80°C almost all the time, sometimes it reaches max. ~91°C
Before that the temperature was normal, ranging from 50°C-100°C which seemed completely normal for me, but what is concerning me is the temperature goes up very fast even after a "cold start" in the morning.

Other thing is I have it switched on for almost whole day for approximately 12 hours, usually to play few games and watching youtube videos. 

Not sure if that temperature ranging which seems like constant @80-90°C is normal and I started to getting worried.

If I will plan to open it to clean the dust if it has any, is there any videos or tutorials about that on the youtube or somewhere else?

Thank you!

Welcome to the Dell Community  @Vostro.15.3000 

To better assist you, the members and I would need the exact model number of your laptop/desktop???

  1. Identify your Dell:

  1. Go into your BIOS.

Power-on the system and start tapping the F2 key to enter System Setup.

  1. In Windows:

Hold down the” Windows “key and tap the “R “key.

Then type msinfo32 and hit enter.

Best regards,

Greetings,

 

As long as the unit is not shutting down or locking up, then it's likely working within spec.

 

If you want to clean it, you can follow this guide regarding how to remove parts:

You could also reduce heat by resource use by using MSCONFIG and clearing out any un-needed services. 

 

Then follow standards for cleaning internal parts. ^JKC
