    Hey everyone. I am currently using TPFancontrol and noticed that the temp when my comp is idle (merely websurfing and listening to music) is in the 60s range (C). It seems a bit too high for comfort. When it is underload, aka gaming, it runs in the 70s, usually up to about 76.

    As I am writing this, my temp readings from TPFancontrol are:

    CPU 65C
    GPU 59C

    Is this normal? It seems to me that the idle temp is a little high. When I turn on my comp, TPFancontrol reads 50(white) then stabilizes in the 60s(yellow) when the laptop is "warmed up."

    SPECS:
    T7500 2.2ghz
    Quadro FX 570 M 256mb GDDR3
    2.0 GB Ram
    Vista Ultimate
    100GB 7200rpm HDD Seagate
    AGN 802.11 wifi adapter
    wusb

    All temps are in C.

    I am also using modded gpu drivers from laptopvideo2go.com 63.44 nforce
