    Insanely high Acer 4672 CPU temp?

    My Acer 4672 regularly idles far above 60, and easily hits 80C when under even a slight load, what is wrong here? I can physically feel a ton of heat radiating from my keyboard and under my palms. Something is clearly wrong with this if my idle temperature is around 60c.

    If anyone needs more information about it to possibly suggest something to help out I'd appreciate it. It also seems like my fan doesn't run nearly as often as it should, but I can't find any software that would force it to run more regularly. I feel like at a temp of 75c the CPU fan should be spinning up far more often than it is. Thanks for your help guys.

    This also isn't a recent development, it's been running this hot pretty much since I got it, and I'm just now starting to get really fed up with it.

    Hi

    Is it a coreduo 1.66

    I had an coreduo T2050 1.6 the fan use to kick in at 55c, it got no higher that 65c

    Have you checked the fan and heatsink are clear of dust.

    what program are you using to check the temp, some are way off.

    regards

    John.

    It's a coreduo 2.0ghz I've checked the fan and heatsink and such, they're fine. I'm using notebook hardware control to check the temperature
