Hi Swag

Welcome to the Forum:smileyhappy:

Do you ask because you feel your machine is running hot. If so how hot?

Some Sony machines can tend to run on the hot side but providing the temperature stays below 90c you'll be fine.

hi, thanks for your reply.

yeah i have the feeling that my notebook get too hot.
The "normal" temp is about 55-60 degrees and if i do something more intense stuff (rendering a scene with opengl..) it can go up to 80+

i cant believe thats healthy for a centrino cpu

Sorry, I have to disagree there Rizla. A temperature approaching 90c is far too high for this model and will eventually cause damage. Mid 40’s would be normal but possibly in the 70’s under extreme conditions.

No it is not. Time to clean the cooling vents!!

Temperatures of 55 to 60c are of no great concern and yes under extreme conditions 70+ will occur.
My concern was that you were not experiencing temperatures approaching 90c on a regular basis.

Switch you power adjustment properties from 'Performance' to 'adaptive' as per reccommendation given to me by the venrable GB and I have my idle down to 43 degrees with a 3.06Ghz CPU

Rich,

I am sure that was another post

But 80+ is quite high
