HW Monitor Air Flow Temp Question?

[kdblueey]

I've read somewhere that a laptop airflow temp should be around 95 degrees. Mine has always been stable and has never changed (according to the HW Monitor) until tonight. Now the readings are 102-104 degrees and haven't changed. My laptop was idle at the time. Prior to this, I had submitted a question to a forum regarding my laptop being hot to touch, and Lenovo replacing the motherboard. The moderator said that Lenovo should of replaced the heat sink (?) instead. Is there a correlation between the air flow temp and the core temp?

Thank you for your time answering my question



I'D LIKE TO ADD A SNAPSHOT OF A HW MONITOR READING (AIRFLOW TEMP THIS AM WAS 107 DEGREES), BUT I'M HAVING TROUBLE FITTING IT IN THE SMALL SPACE HERE. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS.

Unless they throughly cleaned the old heatsink+replace fan+re-paste, is not gonna be "like new."
