My rule of thumb, I'm always using a cooling pad for my personal laptop.

Before this rule of thumb, I always elevated using some magazines giving 1-3cm's of lift under the laptop for a pedestal/desk fan to blow air underneath the belly of the beast.

 

Doing a re-install/anti-bloatware of another laptop recently, his i7 and GPU were pushing 60*c idle, but up to 95*c loaded, adding this elevation and fan brings it back to 71-75*c loaded.

Enough of an improvement to make me keep doing it.

I believe it will be fine just sitting down but a cooling pad would definitely help thermals inside such a thin and sleek laptop

Hope I could help!

Specs: CPU: AMD FX-8320 @4.0ghz GPU: ASUS DCUII GTX 770 PSU: EVGA Supernova 750g CASE: Fractal Define R4 RAM: 8 Gigabytes ADATA 1333 Mhz MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3

All laptops. But the one I mentioned the i7 and GPU was a performance gaming laptop, so closer to your temps from a powerhungry machine ,..thats why I added that to my post.

In between would describe it best, thicker than my mums standard i5 lappy, but no where near some of the badass models I've seen.
