SZ Series Temperature

Just a quick one, what temp does your SZ Series laptop run at?
I still think mines running too hot causing the fans to be on within 3-5 mins of the laptop being on.... after that, they never turn off!

The laptop is an SZ2XP/C which runs a Centrino 2.00/2gig ram/100gb HD

The Temp according to MM is
Freq: 2.00
Temp: 50c (runs around 46-50)
Temp 41c
Temp 43c
HDD #0 34c (usually between 34-38)

Can a few of you test out andpost back please?
Just need to know the temp the fans kick in, and when it kicks in... also what your normal day2day running apps like word, IE etc gets your temp up to.

Thanks

My SZ3VP runs between 45 and 55 degrees, and the CPU speed never drops from 2.2Ghz, no matter what power profile I'm using (Performance, Battery Life, or Adaptive), or if I'm plugged in or not. So does this mean that SpeedStep doesn't work on the SZ? On my trusty old A217M, the CPU would drop from 1.6Ghz down to 0.6Ghz unless that much power was required... this was great because the laptop ran a lot cooler (about 37 degrees, as opposed to about 46) and the fan was quieter too. Not so with the SZ?? Or is it just my one thats not working properly?? The Specs page says the CPU features SpeedStep.... hmm???
