Acer Aspire 5570 Heating Problem

I've got a new notebook. But my processor is hearing up too much. Normal temperature at idle state is around 50c to 53c. On full load, temperature shoots up to around 70c to 72c. My desktop has never gone above 50c. That's why I'm bothered. I don't know much about laptops. Is this temperature normal? or Is there something wrong? Following is the specification of my laptop:

Make: Acer Aspire 5570
Processor: Intel Core Duo T2050 @ 1.60 GHz

Everest reports the following:
CPU Multiplier: 12x
CPU FSB: 133.33 MHz

Can somebody please help me out...

 

Hi, Indhu!
That´s a very very common question among the acer owners. I´ve got an Aspire 5672 and I find these values pretty much standard.
There are some very nice threads on the subject in the ACER section. Just make e search on heat for example.

You gotta realize that the cpu in the laptop is packed in a much smaller and tighter space (and with less airflow) than any desktop, even shuttles. Also, the fan/heatsink on a laptop cpu is about 1/10th if not less the size of the ones on desktops, so u cant even compare the temps of cpus in desktop vs laptops.

What you can do is lift up ur laptop to give some space between it and the desk, get a cooler and undervolt. Cpus are running at much higher voltage than the bare minimum, so u'll always have headroom to undervolt while still keeping it 100% stable. Search around for undervolting ull get lots of info. I was able to drop 10+ degrees C off my idle and full load temps by doing so. Ur results may vary.

 

I would say rather than being common in acers it is common in Core Duos. Some users have posted temperatures of mid 80s degrees C under load. Most mobile cpus won't start to degrade until around 100 degrees C so you're way off danger point.

70s isn't too bad but if you're concerned you could try buying a cooling pad.

 

Thanks for your suggestions. Though my temperature does not look dangerous, I'm going to buy a cooling pad I also found that if I reduce the speed of my processor to 800*2 from 1600*2, my processor does not heat up under full load.
