Are these temperature reading unusual for my computer?
CPU Bottom: 125
Battery: 86
GPU: 134
HD: 111
These are reading in degrees Farhenheit. I am just a little concerned because my fan seems to constantly be running. Please let me know if they are unusual reading.
Thanks

Sorry, yes I have but there do not seem to be any answers. I have a Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.4. 1.33 GHz with 512 MB DDR SDRAM(it is a 12" Powerbook). I have 32.71 free and 23.05 used on my HD space. Let me know if there are any other specifics you need. I am just paranoid about my Mac, but please let me know if my Mac is unuaully hot or if you need any other numbers. Also I have some speakers pluued in, not USB, I have a printer connected and I always have my power source connected when I am at my desktop. Also does anyone reccomend restarting my computer everyday or even every so often or is it ok to always have it on, and should I not have my power source connected so much or does it not matter.
Thanks for any help

I've got a 1.33 12" with 1.25 GB RAM. The battery temp is normal, my gpu is at 127 F, so that looks a bit high, my HD bottomside is at 109.4 so yours is pretty normal. Are you running something graphics intensive (a game?)

No I think it is just that my room is abnormally warm. I live in a college-paid appartment so we always have the heating on high so it get pretty war, and especially if I do have a fan running in my room it gets really warm, almost to the point where I begin to sweat. But since the temperature has been getting cooler in here and I have my fan running temperature readings with my Mac have leveled out to a good level. Thanks for the help.
