That seems quite high to me. With an uptime of a shade under 17 days,
during normal use and with [EMAIL PROTECTED] running since 11.5 CPU-days (says
top), /proc/acpi reports 49 degrees Celsius at the CPU. My system,
built around an Athlon 64 3000+, has a critical trip (shutdown)
temperature of 70 C and I have never hit that level. I have not
checked the CPU temperature during lengthy compilations however, but
considering that CPU utilization stays close to 100% due to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
it is probably about the same.

I would consider anything above 60 C as certainly out of the ordinary
and worth investigating.

Does the motherboard BIOS setup show the same temperature as Linux?
