    I used mobmeter to monitor cpu temps (not sure how accurate it is) and I notice the temps vary from 45C to 55C when the fans kick on and off under normal load. Are the mid 50s safe for CPU temps?

    alright awesome. I should probably look into cleaning out some dust bunnies as it's been a few months already.

    Also you might wanna use HWMonitor (for GPU/CPU/HDD temps) or Coretemp (CPU only). These are the best imo

    you overclocked your CPU too?

    If your using firefox expect higher coretemps, its a damn cpu hog. Try using IE watch it not go over 48c with a load of tabs open.
