hot powerbook G4

I have a Powerbook G4 thatt just missed the battery recall (although it no longer has the original battery in, so that's probably moot) but it seems to run awfully hot, and I rarely hear the fan kick in. Super rarely. iPulse sez I'm running at 53ºC, just browsing internets.

Is there a way to change the settings to get me more fan action, or is it okay for the underside of my machine to be searing?
