CPU Temp

Hey,

This isn't a big deal but I do find it wierd and I thought someone here might be able to help. If I am not using my I9200 for awhile (i.e. not touching it) the temp idles around 29C according CHC. However as soon as I touch the mouse and move it around the desktop the temp shoots up to 60C and doesn't come down even though the CPU load stays at 0%.

Anyone know what may be causing this issue? Its not the fans, they are clean and work properly.

P.S. In games like CS:S the temp goes up only another 10C.

Thanks for any help.

Is there anyway for me to fix this or do I need to send it in to Dell?

60 is acceptable for a Pentium M so I would think they won't let you send it in for that.

Yeah, but I don't like having the fans running on high all the time.

There is something wrong. The temp should not shoot up sharply like that. I'd call Dell about it. Hopefully it's just a bad sensor.
