    Well im using 3 different temp programs and all three have different temps. HWmonitor and speedfan 4.34 beta 38 are close in temps but speedfan 4.33 is way off. Also for some reason my laptop is now running a lot hotter then it use to, why? nothing changed, are the fans going bad because the temp has rised about a good 19C ideing compared to it use to, but when play games it doesn't get hotter then it use to.

    i dunno how many time ive said this but speedfan is wrong, it measures a different heat area. Use coretemp or hwmonitor or rmclock, these will all show the same correct temps

    If your laptop feels cool then thats a good thing. The temperature figures doesnt mean thats how hot its gonna be on the outside casing.

    Using CoreTemp or HWMonitor, an average of pavilion users will roughly get these temps. It may vary as some countrys have a cooler or warmer climate. The cooler your laptop is the better.

    HD Temps:
    Idle 38-45c
    Load 45-55c

    Core Temps:
    Idle 38-45c
    Load 45-75c

    GPU Temps:
    Idle 53-60c
    Load 60-85c

    i know that im just saying that my temps are now higher doing the same things then they where when it was brand new. So back then at idle it was only 39 for the cores, now its 59 for the core just idling.
