I'm not an expert on AMD chips but that does seem quite high. With intensive
compiles I would expect to see the temp raising about 20 degrees or so,
depending on your fan and sink. How are you monitoring the temp?
through /proc/acpi/thermal? or just from the bios? Or are you lucky enough to
have a readout on your box?
