Laptop CPU Temp increase when idle - FC5

Well, depends what you mean by "use" - Do you have cpu speedstepping 
working ? For me the cpu temp is a strong function of how fast the cpu 
is. Idling, it sits at 600MHz and with that the temps stay low. If I 
read a few emails etc. for 5-10 mins, this does not really work the cpu 
so it stays at 600MHZ and the temps stay low.
If I start really exercising the cpu, build a package etc., it goes up 
to its full 1500MHZ, and then the cpu warms up and gkrellm kicks in with 
the fans.

I have not really paid that much attention to the temps, I will do and 
report back, but I cannot say I've noticed anything different to how it 
was with FC4.

cheers Chris
