Normal Temps?????????????????

The CPU seems to be fairly hot, have you tried removing any dust from the heatsinks and vents?

Another point to add, if you are using a laptop, then get yourself a cooling pad and raise the back of the laptop a few CM from the surface of whatever you are using to create a better flow of cool air.

SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

SpeedFan will allow you to monitor your fan speeds, to see if any of the fan blades are being disrupted due to a build-up of dust and other debris.

these are the temps after it was off all night and just turned on

how can these temps start out high?

Most probably very poor air circulation; have you cleaned the vents and inside the case of the desktop/laptop?

Are the vents being obstructed by anything? What are the condition of the fans? Are all the fans working?

it is seeting on a 3 fan cooler i have that cant figure out how to use fan speed to adj fs

nothing blocking vents when i turned laptop on it did'nt have time to heat up but fanspeed and speccu says it is HOTHOT? it is only 3years old it allways feel hot when it came out of the box after sitting on the desk it felt verry warm 2 hours ove it being on

Have you cleaned all the heatsinks and inside the case yet?

What do you usually use your laptop on? Do you have it sitting on a bed or your lap for example?

Once again, these are completely and totally normal CPU temperatures for a modern laptop. Manufacturers deliberately set the fans as low as possible in order to reduce noise and power consumption, with the result being that the CPU's get hot -- but still well below their design temperature (which for a modern Sandy Bridge processor is 100C, or 212F, though I would not recommend running them hotter than 80C, or 176F, in normal use). You're still well below those limits. Note that the fruity laptops typically run their CPU's at 80C, as you can probably tell if you put one of them on your lap and it leaves a red mark on your left leg .

You *may* be able to set the fan speed in the BIOS screen, or *may* be able to use a program like Speedfan to speed it up, or *may* be able to use your manufacturer's power control program (that came with the computer) to adjust the fan speed, but if you can't do any of that, well. It's not going to hurt your CPU. Your CPU can literally be boiling hot before it is too hot, and your CPU temperature is well below even what the fruity laptops run their CPU's at.

i have it setting on the desk on a three fan cooler pad
