I've got an Acer Travelmate 8202 as my main machine, which is about 2 years old. It runs an Intel Centrino Duo 1.66gHz CPU.
Recently, it idles at about 80-85 degrees, and when I do anything too intensive, it causes the temperature to hit 100 on Core 1 and 92-94 on Core 0. It's Tjunction is 100 Degrees, and I've seen it a couple of times go past even this. After Having the laptop on for a few hours, it can actually almost burn.
A friend of mine said I should consider re seating the CPU, would that get the temperatures down a lot? I ask because stability is pretty important; when it gets near 100 it starts kicking the frequency down, often from 1667mHz to around 200-400mHz, and I play Ableton Live sets live, so the last thing I need is massive audio dropouts caused by overheating, and this a massive drop in performance to compensate for the temperatures. Also, from reading about on here, a temperatures difference of about 10 degrees on either core is pretty bad!
