    i tried to use both programs NHC and mobilemeter, and both do not show me cpu temp. NHC is also saying that the acpi service is not initialized for this machine. anyone knows why and how to fix?

    I recommend to tryout SpeedFan as well... its a pretty nice freeware.

    If that doesnt work, I would check your BIOS and set it to default to make sure the power management options are at normal settings.

    That is a good temp. For load, you will see anything from 60-65C. With two instances of SETI@Home running, I get a load temp of 62C.
