    Under 60C CPU idle is normal for laptops, around 65C for GPUs.
    Under load, which is ultimately the only thing that matters, should stay under 90C at all times to keep it going for a long time.

    One of your RAM stick died and you didn't bother sending it in for warranty. GG.

    Just buy another similar RAM-stick and put it in? RAM's dirty cheap nowadays.

    But if it says CPU and GPU are staying in safe temps... but shell is getting warm... Then there really is no problems?

    Yes.

    Imagine: 60°C.

    That's just so hot that the pain wont stop from touching, because it doesn't fry skin on contact, but enough to burn you if you do touch it for extended time.
    Some of that heat in components is going through your laptops shell.

    Inconvenient but not harmful to your laptop.
