    i have a core2 dual processor 1.6. the problem is this that the temperature of the cores change each second. like if it is 45 then 54 then 53 then 45 then 50........like this it changes continuously....is this normal or is there any problem with my temperature sensors.
    any kind of help will be appreciated.
    P.S. i use speedfan, HW monitor to check my temperatures. and my laptop is new

    Have you tried running task manager to see what processes are taking up CPU cycles? Alternately have you tried cleaning out your laptop? A 1.6 ghz Core2 isn't a spring chicken and it may be heating up and the fan may be kicking on just enough to drop the temp... just to have it heat up again.

    well it is when i keep the laptop on the bed. when it is on the table it idles at around 45-47...it cycles between these temperatures after sew seconds.
    i have freshly installed windows...
    and do torrent programs uses a lot of energy?
