Install it.
Dont tick the "build your game with goodgame empire", seems to be some game that it will install,
I probably got the version I have from another link.

Start it up, ie click the link in your program files or whatever.
View temps.

looks like tj.max is max temp for your motherboard/cpu combo. [EDIT: CPU junction temp, transistor thing, so CPU only not motherboard]

Your machine should throttle back on its own if it gets too hot.

EDIT: make sure you have good air flow around your laptop, eg dont stand it on a wooly jumper
which could block air vents. [EDIT: Dont let you dog or cat sit on it either. (includes other unspecified furry critters, or the missus)]
