When my laptop was over heating I ended up taking it apart, because the fans looked fine from the outside... It turned out the the Side of the CPU heat sink had a nice accumulation of dust... It was better once I cleaned that out... But I decided to get a cooling pad just to be on the safe side. (I bought a Dekcell cooling pad. It's aluminum and has 3 fans... It works well and was under $20 bucks..
