Inspiron 15 3530 hot while idling

No gaming or other intense use, but the keyboard, in the center becomes quite warm. A system check shows that the CPU is 71C. Again, my research indicates this temp would be normal under intense use, but it's only idling. I've adjusted the Dell Thermal Management to the "cool" setting so the fan definitely kicks on. Is there anything else I can check or try?
