    Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 Running at 55-60C under low-medium load


    Hello.

    I've got this Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Si 3655 Laptop, with the processor stated in the title, it's pretty old. Lately it started shutting itself down while under a load (playng Terraria.. Not that big of a load really). So I downloaded a tool and it's telling me I'm running at a steady 60C while under normal everyday use (browser open with a few tabs open, steam, skype). I don't belive this is normal since my desktop is running at around 40C while gaming. I give a guess that it runs at 50C idle.

    Last time it was opened for cleaning was maybe an year ago. I don't know what it's normal temps are because I've never tested the heat before.

    Is this way too high for a laptop?

    i dont either, so what i done was shut down the laptop, close over the lid. turn it over, and just hoover all the vents and fans, reduced my temps by 5-6 Degrees, not much but its something.
