There is not an accessible temp sensor on this desktop, so I do not know what the CPU temp is, but it does control the CPU fan speed control, and is usually at slow speed, so I suspect it is cool enough. The laptop tends to run about 40c, and the fan kicks in at 43c if I remember right. I would expect the laptop CPU to run hotter then the desktop when they are both loaded down.
