What CPU temperatures are people getting on their 17.3" Vortex III? I have the i7-3610QM in my Vortex III and I'm seeing the below in both Core Temp and Hardware Monitor:

Min: 35
Avg: 42
Max: 56

As I don't game and haven't done anything too CPU intensive, I haven't pushed the CPU too far; however, I still thought the temperatures would have either come down or started off lower than they did. I understand Ivy Bridge CPUs run hotter than their Sandy Bridge counterparts but are the above temperatures normal or have PCS put too little/too much TIM when fitting the CPU?
