    How hot does your laptop run?

    Acer Aspire M5-581-t

    Intel I5 1.7gh dual core / 4 processors
    Intel HD4000 onboard graphics
    6gb ram

    Sitting still/web surfing: both cores @ 52-54 C

    Steam (native Linux): both cores @ 62-68 C

    Steam (Wine): both cores @ 68-72 C

    I'm thinking my machine just plain runs hot, what kind of result is everyone else getting?

    Laptops normally run hotter than desktops, they are designed to tolerate higher temps. My laptop usually runs at around 70 - 80 C.

      Idle core 1 - 49, core 2 - 55. Highest I have seen on either core under load is 65.

          Acer Aspire V3-771G with 17" display

          Just using FireFox and browsing this forum:
          Code:
          ~$ [FONT=courier new][B]sensors[/B][/FONT]

          temp1:            N/A  (high = +95.0°C, hyst =  +3.0°C)
                                 (crit = +105.0°C, hyst =  +5.0°C)
                                 (emerg = +135.0°C, hyst =  +5.0°C)
          
          coretemp-isa-0000

          Physical id 0:  +41.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
          Core 0:         +41.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
          Core 1:         +38.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
          Core 2:         +36.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
          Core 3:         +33.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
          Earlier today I was running my Minecraft server and client and noticed the temp hitting 195 F (90C). I took out my can of air and sprayed dust off the input and output ports of the fan, and the average temp of the game dropped to around 135-145 F.

              My temps:
              Code:
              steve@t520:~$ [B]sensors[/B]
              acpitz-virtual-0
              Adapter: Virtual device
              temp1:        +50.0°C  (crit = +98.0°C)
              
              coretemp-isa-0000
              Adapter: ISA adapter
              Physical id 0:  +56.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
              Core 0:         +50.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
              Core 1:         +51.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
              
              thinkpad-isa-0000
              Adapter: ISA adapter
              fan1:        1974 RPM

              Kept very well under control by ThinkFan:
              Code:
              steve@t520:~$ [B]cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan[/B]
              status:         enabled
              speed:          1975
              level:          auto
              commands:       level <level> (<level> is 0-7, auto, disengaged, full-speed)
              commands:       enable, disable
              commands:       watchdog <timeout> (<timeout> is 0 (off), 1-120 (seconds))

              I've intentionally configured it to always run the fan at its slowest speed. It's barely audible, and keeping a small breeze running through my laptop helps reduce temperature spkies. Not to mention also feels good on my lap! (That's for you, Feathers. BWAHA)
              Code:
              steve@t520:~$ [B]cat /etc/thinkfan.conf[/B]
