Acceptable Temps for new ALIENWARE 17 Laptop?

Does anyone have an idea of the maximum acceptable temperatures (both CPU and GPU) for the new ALIENWARE 17 laptop while during load and normal use? Since this line is fairly new, I haven't had much success on my own. Further,  I've tried multiple times over chat with ALIENWARE experts to get an answer, but none have been helpful. I'm disappointed with the tech support so far considering these are so called "experts" and yet, don't know the answer to what I feel should be an easy question considering these are gaming laptops. Dell should be able to provide this information to users easily.

So, I'm curious as to what other users have been registering. I'm running CPUID HWMonitor and for the CPU, I get temps around 50-60C while not under load. Gaming wise, I worry about overheating. Morrowind for about 15 minutes already registered temperatures of 70-75C. GPU temps both under and during load range from 38C to 50C.

I might be overreacting on the temps, but considering my old m15x fried itself twice, I would like to get a definite answer on this ASAP. Thanks!
