    Hi,

    Ok, I am a newbie as far as temps and I have been looking around to figure out if my temps were ok since I feel like my computer is a bit hot.

    I have CPUID HWMonitor and as mentioned in the past I changed the .ini file to 105 to get the correct temps (by adding 5 to CPU temps). The problrm is, since Iam not sure if people did the same or not I don't know if the temps I get are normal or not.

    Could you guysplease tell me if these temps are good or not. From what I read it seems my CPU temps are too high. What should I do to fix it?


    Here is my config and the temps:
    Room temp: 28
    1. TEMPERATURES
    - CPU Min/Max Idle - 43/57 (core#1 36/58 , core#2 : 41/61)
    - GPU Min/Max Idle - 52/64
    - HDD Min/Max Idle - 41
    Once I start using the internet and word then CPU Min/Max - 43/63 (core#1 36/59 , core#2 : 41/66)

    2. SOFTWARE
    - Power Setting in Win7 - balanced
    - Bios Revision - A12
    3. SYSTEM INFORMATION
    - CPU Model and Speed – T8300 2.4GHz – intel core 2 duo
    - GPU Clock - Stock

    Would be high in a desktop. But definitely fine for a laptop!
