Notebooks are usually hotter than desktops, also, when your room
temperature is about 30C, you will NEVER get 27C on your processor,
and, well, have you consider checking your sensors to see if they're
working fine (maybe checking the BIOS hardware monitor, if available),
cause I never saw a computer running 100% CPU load that does not rise
to 30 or 40C.
