normal temps for lmsensors?
I have an intel quad-core 2.4ghz cpu and the temps average out to 61C when i bootup my system.. they drop to 50 something sometimes... is this too high? i have the stock intel fan on it...

You could probably use better cooling either on the CPU or in the case itself if possible that does seem to be getting a little on the high side. Mine which I run at 3ghz at idle with the C1E enabled in the BIOS (you may want to check for the power saving being turned on in yours) is around 40°C on the hottest core, under 100% load on the cores low to mid 50s. |
Check the BIOS settings for temperature management. Many boards have "Intel(R) Quiet Fan Technology (TM)", it makes for a quieter computer but a hotter processor. Your choice.
I have a quad core and it runs at 16 - 20 C when idle, but only when I disable this stupid new technology. Now, in order to achieve this low temperature, I actually disabled temperature control, which makes the fan run full speed all the time. This is also because there may be a problem with my BIOS or board, because when I put it on Legacy temperature management the fan turned completely off once in a while ... not good. It may have also been that the fan was not plugged in all the way into its socket (I fixed that issue recently). |
solved
I think I found the problem, I openned the case and pressed on each of the four pins on the cpu fan and one of them clicked when i pressed on it, I then booted up and ran sensors again and now I went from 60C to 39-40C range!! is that better?

I question this because, unfortunately, (3) is a pretty common problem. |
