    Hey all,
    I'm just wondering what kind of temps people's Core 2 duo are running. My SZ330 is running the T7200 2.0Ghz and the temps seem kind of high and it's a bit scary. Temps I am seeing (Speed setting) under normal work load is running around 70C, and heavy load 85-91C. Has anyone ever had problems with their Sz330 overheating under heavy loads? I used RMClock to get my #'s.

    Many thanks!

    According to Everest, my SZ-38GP runs at 56°C at normal load (T7200).

    You might consider de-dusting your cooling system (fan and exhaust channels)

    Hope this helps

    Yeah, that temp seems a bit high. Maybe you will want to consider clean up the fans...

    At idle, low 40's if the room is cool, high 40's if the room is warm.
