I have a lenovo y560, just back from a month and a half in quarantine. Now it seems to be fine, except for temp. Idling for half an hour. On the desk, with no cooling pad. Cpu temp is 45-50c. Is this normal?

y560 has i5 i guess?
my acer i5 is idling at 29-35 degrees
HP i7 is ~40

run some video converter to see if temps reach above 90
They may touch 85 but at 100% cpu load but should be ~75 degrees.
if it goes +95 or BSOD, while video conversion you have a problem

Yes, i5. As for tests, it peaked 65-70 but it wasn't under full load so gonna try again.
