Latitude E5420 i5 CPU Temps?

Anyone with a Dell Latitude E5420 and lm-sensors installed mind posting their CPU temps when idle and exactly which CPU you have?

I'm running an i5-2520m and seeing idle temps from 57-61 deg C, which feels a bit warm for me. Not sure if it's normal for this CPU/hardware configuration, or if I have a cooling problem (bad contact to heatsink, or similar).

How long you had it ?.
I've had a Dell i7 (laptop) for almost two years, and it has appalling venting. I now take the back off and wash it every so often. Might be similar on yours. I like to keep it in the high 40s to mid 50s.

Since early august... I've blown out the heatsinks some, but haven't disassembled far enough to do more than that.
