I was surprised to find out that my cheapo notebook's CPU was running idle at 75 degrees Celsius! No, don't ask how it goes when the load gets high. Needless to say, the system kicks in auto-off when it reaches 95 degrees, and it sure did so when I tried to run Sisoft Sandra's CPU Arithmetic Benchmark. Good thing I found where to download Mobile Monitor, since its original web site has disappeared.

Anyway, another good thing is that even if the laptop's real cheap, the store I bought it from offers good support. They replaced the CPU and the heat sink/fan. Now it's running idle at 43 degrees.
