    Hello,

    I installed "Notebook Hardware Control" in my Dell 1505/6400, and it reports iddle CPU temps of up to 60-62 deg C, and then the internal fan starts working dropping temp down to low 40´s at iddle, and low 50's with 30-40% cpu load.

    Is this normal-expected temp levels?
    This is with the laptop placed on a cooling pad which has three vents blowing towards the lappy - which, by the way, I feel does'n make a difference.

    Thanks
