Doing nothing else, just idle, and with two fans on the machine, sensors reports:

*** Additional Info
I just noticed that my machine occasionally pegs CPU with plasma-desktop running. It seems to be stuck doing something that really eats up the cpu. I even tried nicing the process, to no avail. After reaching temps exceeding 200F, I killed the plasma-desktop process and restarted it. The cpu went back down. I still need two fans to keep it running cool. Any idea why plasma would do that? This is mint 13 KDE by the way.
