    Hi All,
    I have a major problem with my FSC laptop. I own AMILO Pi1536. The processor model is T5600(1.83 GHz). Currently the CPU temp is around 70(!) degree when it’s relatively idle and around 90 when it’s running something at max. I don’t think that’s normal so do you have any ideas? Thank you very much in advance!

    P.S. I don’t want to go to my FSC dealer because here (I leave in Bulgaria) the warranty service is awful and I already had a lot of problems with those guys one year ago when I bought the laptop.

    Are the fans unobstructed? Perhaps a cooling pad.

    I'm always using it on a desk. And I tried to change the thermal paste(I thing the new one is Arctic Cooling MX2 or something like this). There was no significant improvement. What else can I do?
    Something else there is a cooper heat pipe going under the right palm rest and it has something black on it. Like it's melted on it.
