    Hi guys..
    I want too ask if my temps are normal..I have this laptop..
    With i3-370M
    When i am serfing or office work my temps are around 48-50c and when i am gaming around 66c..
    i think 66c at gaming is good ,but 48-50c with only internet and office work isnt 2 much ?
    I replace the thermal paste and i gain 2 deegrees..
    The temps are with coretemp and Hwmonitor..

    Depends on your ambient temperatures. Core i3 series processors can get pretty toasty, my i3-380M idled like 42~ in my E6410.

    @ 20C, it is a little on the hot side but nothing to be worried about IMO. If you are really paranoid you can repaste your CPU.

    Go to support.dell.com and punch in your service tag and download the service manual.

    i dont care about the temps themselves but the fun is annoying..When it goes 50 51c the fun turn on with higher speed for some time..and i dont like it..
    Thats why i ask if my temps are normal..
    I get the manual and i repaste the thermal paste as i said 2 my first post..
