T7700 temp, should I worry?

[youpla]

I have never checked temps on my previous laptop which was running a Celeron M, but since I bought a new C2D T7700 laptop I have been monitoring the temps for a while and I am a bit worried about them.

Iddle the T7700 is around 45C

When I use the laptop for word processing, image editing, internet, download etc... temps goes around 50-55C

And at full load temps go up to 73C

Are those temps fine or too high for a laptop?

Pretty standard. According to this, Meroms can handle up to 100C (but you wouldn't want them up there all the time): http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLA43

I tried Core Temp on a friend's laptop and his Yonah IDLES at 72C

That's fine for a laptop, my XPS M1210 had a T7200 that got up into the 90's full load, perfectly stable though. Don't worry about it.

Thanks guys I feel much better now... 100C hope I will never get that close

As long as you dont over clock laptops will never over heat unless the heatsinks get clogged with dust. Thats why every year or so just open the heat sink part of your laptop and just get rid of as much dust as you can. And plus when laptops get to hot they shut off as a safety precaution. If that happens then you know you need to clean out your heatsink.
