Acer Aspire 5000 sensor reading 197.4F on emerge's!

I recently started using GKrellM to monitor my system. I found that my sensor is reading almost 200.0F when emerging stuff and running around 165.0F while doing nothing. Is this normal? I'm thinking it isn't. The fan is running fine, like it always has and I have a cooler under the laptop blowing up into the intake fan port as well. I found a few weeks ago that from the factory there was a piece of plastic covering the intake port under the fan which I removed. My system was shutting itself off prior to removing this plastic. I'm not used to monitoring laptop temps, like I am with desktop temps. All my other systems are running around 100.0F or less so I'm wondering how I can cool this system down.


Thanks in Advance,
Kevin

Well, No one replied to this, but I orderd a thermal cooling kit to replace the fan and thermal unit currently in it. We'll see if it lowers the temp.

Keep in mind that the temperature limits specified by the manufacturers are usually in Celsius.

I don't know about the limit for your particular processor, but 185 is probably around 90C. Whether or not your processor is supposed to get this hot I don't know. Some processors would get into the high 80s under load.

Dust is my enemy. I blew into the out port and dust flew out the fan area. So I got my compresser filled up and blew off every inch of the inside of the laptop and now its running at 43.1C no load, and up around 64C compiling 3 programs, I think its fixed now, to bad I already ordered that replacement, hehe.
