    I have just run a Prime95 torture test on my (now working but no thanks to Acer) 5562 and I found that the CPU temperate reaches 72C! It seems the system is quite stable at this temperature, however, is this really how hot it should get?

    Can others let me know what temperatures they get with their Core Duo processors at maximal load (both cores):

    (mine is a 1.66Ghz chip)

    desktops and notebooks are different. desktops have more space to dissipate the heat it produces and have better cooling systems. notebooks are very compact and the chassis tends to hold in the heat more than desktops. this is why notebooks tend to break down more often due to the heating problems. 70s is not bad for a notebook, as long as it is not staying at that temperature while it idles.
