Post your computer temperatures:



Provide processor info.

[Klaus5000]

There are the readings he gave me.

[Broni]

Is it idle temperature? Even, if it's while in use, it's pretty high.
The problem is, I can't really find any listing for Intel Core 2 Duo 4600 2.4Ghz. Are you sure, your signature is correct?

[Klaus5000]

No, read my top post for the specs of the laptop in question, my sig is my own pc, not this laptop, thanks.

The laptop has a 1.9ghz the name is on my first post.

[Broni]

I see. Sorry for that. Turion max temp is listed above 90C, so you're probably OK, but is it idle temp?

[Klaus5000]

It had msn open only, so yeah id say so.

[Broni]

Ask your friend to play some resource heavy game, and see what the temps will read.

[Klaus5000]

I dont think he has any but i will ask, he might have Rome Total War if thats good enough..

[Broni]

It should do.
