Solved! Core temp and charging my iPod touch

[allenpaul75]

Hi I was wondering if it was normal that my core temp raises by about 8 to 10 degrees while charging my iPod touch via USB port. The core temp stays around 58 degrees the entire charge cycle about two hours for a full charge is this normal. Thanks

Yeah, it is normal, as USB is typically directed by the CPU. So, the constant connection is forcing the CPU to be active in terms of regulating the USB connection. Not a big deal.
