    Hi to all.

    This is my last thing i want to know before posting any more posts.

    I have downloaded this program called AMD(tm) OverDrive and it says that my CPU temperature is a max of 75 c and a minimum of 65 c.

    Even when my notebook computer is idle, it still says 65 c. is there any programs where i can cool down my CPU during idle time and when using applications?

    You can undervolt/downclock the cpu to reduce the temperature. I believe you can do it via OverDrive however I'm not completely sure it will give you the best results. Hopefully someone else has a recommendation for Amd undervolt/downclocking programs.

    you can use rmclock by rightmark on older PC's. I've done it on my DV9000, works great. I've dropped my temps between 10-20 degrees depending on what im doing with no noticable draw back. At all clock speeds i've gotten my voltage below 1. (.95 is the lowest I can go)

    Not sure about notebooks but these sensors are not very accurate most of the time. Even on a desktop pc the only time they were accurate was when i was using software that came bundled with the motherboard. sitting idle for extended period of time, no way it should be 65C...
