Well, I'm calling stock big name manufacturer computers low-end, but of course others will disagree. There is a reason why computers are costing less and less these days.
Its up to you whether you want to remove it or not, but if you are not noticing your laptop getting very hot then you should be fine. You can unload the core temp utility from your system tray and only fire it up when you feel you need it. I leave it in its folder and hit enter on the executable when I need this information. I guess I'm trying to say that I don't allow it to run on my system tray on a daily basis, but I do launch it from time to time to check that all is fine.

I do not plan on doing any of the stuff you mentioned so should I just remove it? BTW, K I M S A N and not k i m s i n g smile! I appreciate the thoughts though and I guess what I really want to know if it is necessary to have this on or not. If not, away it goes. Take care. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andre Williams Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2010 12:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] using cor tempt Not really. What you stated below might be the case for a low-end computer. High-end computers are built with the mindset that there will be great demands made of them. Therefore, high-end components/hardware is used. This might be the case if you are running a gaming computer or a media center home theatre type of setup. To make these computers perform under such loads, high quality resilient processors, ram, and motherboards etc are used. In the past I have launched as many applications as possible and I've let my computer run at over 70 degrees with over 60% of my quad core processor running. I felt no performance hit at all. When running a DVD movie I heard no impact on the audio and there was no flickering on the screen. Just think of most average low-end computers such as Dell, HP, and Gateway as Toyotas and act accordingly as you would not want to run these kinds of cars at over 100 MPH on a regular basis. They can run like this, but they are not constructed to do this so in no time at all you will have problems if you run them hard. In short, Kim sing, if you purchased your computer from Dell and such, and if you do not start switching out parts, and if you don't change the structure of the computer, you should be just fine. In all honesty, you really don't need Core Temp and such as you're probably not going to be modifying your fans or tweaking your processor and need to check for abnormalities in temps. Right now I'm running my QuadCore with the following temps: 55 degrees, 52 degrees, 58 degrees, and 53 degrees. I've been running like this for months now.

Check the specs for your computer. It should list the maximum safe operating temperature. In general, processor temperatures that exceed 60 degrees C are considered unsafe, and most PC's will shut down if the processor temperature approaches 75 degrees C. So it looks like your PC is operating at a safe temperature.
