    is it possible for the temperature sensors in a laptop to get broken and give invalid corrupt readings? cuz i htink mine are that way, even when the notebook is at idle and feels really cool where the Hard disks are located, they give me a reading of 46, b4 when it used to feel much hotter than it feels now, the maximum temp is used to get of hard disks were 41.
    also my core #0 is mostly at 31-32 but core# 1 is always above 40, b4 it was not like this :(

    try RMclock to monitor temps... and you can also undervolt CPU to reduce heat and power consumption thus extending battery life

    see the "UNDERVOLTING GUIDE"
