I thought it was hot for a CPU too at first, but searching Google I found
that this is normal for AMD Turion x2 RM-72.

Gateway MD2601 CPU heating issue? - Yahoo! Answers

You have to keep in mind the temperature sensor is located in different
places on Intel and AMD.

It maybe AMD places theirs closer to the area generating heat then Intel.
At least, that is what it seems to me.

My Yahoo post. I thought I'd take a shot and see what came up. As technical as the answer was, the fact that everyone forgets is that in Vista, this CPU runs at a cool 60C where as in XP, I am 80Cish. If it was a bit higher, I could understand that. But 20+ C degrees? That is alot. The system has shutdownfrom temperature failsafe before adding thermal grease ( Arctic Silver ), which has helped, butthe fact remains this system runs hot with XP.

Here is the specs from CPU World: AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile technology RM-72 - TMRM72DAM22GG

Update: I did download the driver linked fro John Barnes post. Since then, the CPU temp has dropped to about 73Cish without a load. Which is actually a start in the right direction. With a load minor load, doing something like a web-based game on Bored.com, it jumps right up to 90Cbut this is a start of positive things to come
