Is this to hot?

8vs · 21 Nov 2010

Hi,
how to know if the temperature of your computer is to high?
It's a asus laptop, i downloaded SpeedFan and the temperatures are:

HD0: 48
Temp1: 37
Core0: 54
Core1: 54

It shows a green check sign on HD0, so i guess it's all good, blue down arrow on Temp1, don't know what that means and fire on Core0 and Core1, so i guess the temperatures are to high? Also the touchpad is very hot.
These temperatures are on idle.
Oh and it's Intel Pentium Dual CPU T2390 @ 1.86 GHz

Any thoughts would be apreciated. Thanks.

All computers have different suggested max temps
However, below 60, Id say you are ok

When was the last time you cleaned it with compressed air?

I clean it quite offten and the air coming out of a fan at the back of the laptop is warm, not hot, but it's the touchpad that is somewhy very hot.

Hi 8vs :), It also depends were you have the laptop on a table will be better then say placed on a bed, also consider room temp.
