i5 overheating?

[MiserySyndrome]

I got this Dell Vostro 3700.
And when i paly games like Burnout Paradise (max settings) Dead Rising 2 or any other full screen game, my CPU gets kinda hot..
So i thought i might check it out, and i ran a stability test from Everest Ultimate..
I let it run for about 20 minutes. and i got these results (attachment)
Is it getting to hot?
If yes, how can i keep it cooler?
thanks.

75 degrees under testing doesnt seem too high. You havent indicated your gaming temps or ambient temps.

You can use a cooling pad to chill it down a few notches, also try keep away dust and lint from under the back cover.

That's not terrible for a CPU in a cramped space with a small heatsink. Like Bill2 said, pick up a cooling pad. You should notice the difference.

Basically, keep the ventilation working- methods like aiming a fan blast at the machine work quite well. As far as I know Vostro is a 17'' laptop so space isnt really cramped. Buying a laptop cooler should help.

This seems to be a new machine so there wont be accumulated dust, if you are handy with opening up things, you can try replacing the thermal compound though that might void warranty. Though its a shame to have a problem right at the beginning.

Do your fans run frequently at high speed? If possible (either natively or via 3rd party utility) crank up fan speed to max. Check for bios updates for your machine, also update chipset and video drivers, if available.

I saw with a program that they're running at 100% (i can slightly hear them when it's getting a little warm) and yes, it's new. i only got it a few weeks. I want to keep it clean and everything running smooth
so i check on everything if it keeps running smooth
wouldn't want it to be a piece of crap after a few weeks..
