Motherboard: 100-115F
Storage: 96F
Laptop got out of sleep mode not even an hour ago though.

Okay, Just for the heck of it, didn't use the fan, it froze twice in 1 hour while playing League of Legends and hosting a skype call, It had the obnoxious noise and everything, Came on check speccy the CPU is hitting 140 degrees and the HDD 110-120
Boggin:
140F = 60C and 120F is ~49C
The HDD temp is fine and the CPU is on the usually recommended max for long periods but CPUs can operate at much higher temps, although prolonged will result in damage.
Ideally 45C - 55C are the CPU temps you should be aiming for.
Speedfan is a program that regulates the speed of the fan so give that a try. http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/speedfan.html
Once installed, it runs in the background and you can delete the System info icon that appears on the desktop.

New fun twist, Went into safe mode, checked hardware devices and hwatnot, Found an option to show hidden drivers, found one with a yellow exclamation point, googled it, someone had the same thing with freezes, I did the fix, and so far (4 hours ago) I haven't had problems, Ill respond tomorrow night if I go the day without a freeze, or respond if I get another one.
Of course Ill have details as to what I did, but its 4:20am
Boggin:
While I've had mine running at 64C during a Furmark GPU stress test for ~20mins and nothing else, it didn't seem to have any adverse effects - but as you are getting an improvement with the external fan running, then download Speedfan and let it look after your fan speeds as continually running it at 140F (60C) will shorten the CPU/GPU's life.
