CPU’s normal temperature (laptop cooling fan)

Guarantee within 30 degrees temperature rise is generally stable. In other words, cpu temperature-resistant collection of 65 degrees to 35 degrees by the highest summer terms, it allows cpu temperature is 30 degrees. Infer that if your temperature is now 20 degrees, cpu better not to exceed 50 degrees. Temperature is of course the lower the better.
