    My mothers old laptop is having some heat issues.

    Its an AMD Turion X2

    It was hitting 90c idle so i cleaned out the fan and put new thermal past one. And its still hitting 90c +

    I pushed down on the heat sink and there was no change in temp.

    Is it possible the cpu is damaged?

    Possible the sensor is faulty

    Is the fan pushing out warm air / heatsink getting hot ?

    Is the CPU definitely idling at 0% ?

    I replaced my single core Sempron in my laptop with a X2 Turion and it was hitting 95c load (100c is max temp iirc)

    Replaced the thermal paste with some decent stuff and it's about 70-80c load now - but the heatsink was not designed for that CPU so I think thats why its so high

    In the case you cleaned the fan and put a fresh thermal paste,the only culprit could be the heatpipe itself.
    I had a few notebooks with this issue, and heatpipes are not the metal solid as people may think.The liquid inside(amonia or something like that)can evaporate trough tiny fissures where the metal had been soldered, clamped.
