    Oh OK thanks guys lol. Are theses temperatures acceptable for prolonged laptop usage? And what are the maximum temperatures I should allow each component to reach before being alarmed?

    Yes they are. And how is your CPU running below room temperature anyway?

    I'm in a freezer. jk

    I dunno, just finished playing Halo 2 and now the fan's off, so I guess it cooled itself? Also any ideas as to the max normal temperature on these components?

    Well you should try to keep your CPU under 80C (it can go higher safely but still not good for the laptop). You should try to keep your GPU around that temperature too, but it can go a little higher. You need to keep the hard drive the coolest, I would start being concerned if it went above 60C for extended periods of time.

    Is that supposed to be unusual?
    My cores idle at ~15C too, I thought that was the norm o_o

    No 15C wouldn't be normal. I have heard that some programs need to be calibrated to get the correct temperature reading. Try downloading RightMark CPU Clock Utility to see what temperature that gives you.

    Thats from HWMonitor.

    Lol RMClock gives me an even lower reading by 4-5C.

    For some reason RMClock always gives me a lower reading then HWMonitor.

    TjunctionMax temps get detected incorrectly from the MSR. The Tjunction for Penryns are 105c but it gets detected as 100c (Merom) causing a 5c offset.

    Core temps = Delta - Tjunction

    You can use RMclocks registry file to correct the offset. What cpu do you have?
