Run top. Do you really have 120 processes actually running? What are they if you consider the computer idle? I can't even load up my P-II lower than about 60% idle momentarily or 80% consistantly. Then again it only has 64 MB ram so to do anything big gets into swapping which gives the CPU pleanty of time to rest :) My Athlon64 never gets above 35 C, my video card's GPU never above 40C. Then again, the internal case temp is ambient == 20 C. What controlls your fans? If you're relying on the OS to do it, then maybe there's a problem. My fans are controlled by the BIOS.
