Hi I installed Gentoo on a Dell inspiro 6400 Laptop I have a duo core 1.66 GhZ.

What would be the normal operating temperature of that CPU, In windows It stays on 40-46 but running Gentoo (No xorg no graphicals whatsover) it goes up to 56 and it stays between 49-56 I recompiled my kernel with acpi, cpu frequency and speed step support. I'm running a 2.6.18.2 kernel

Thanks

56°C: should be in the normal operation range of the CPU.

so It wouldn't be overheating at that temperature ? still i'm think in installing tools such as i8k
