My Macbook seems like overheating when nothing is running?

[CSilver]

I have recently upgraded my Macbook.
Since then, I feel like my Macbook is overheating when even it isn't using heavy apps.

Right now, using just Safari and the Mail on, CPU and Heat Sink A is nearly 60.

Can it be from the new components ? I upgraded the Memory and the Hard drive.

Do I need to worry about it??

Thanks

Chris

Mine (Late 06) used to idle at around 60. Its a little hot but not much.

What I am wondering is can putting in new components create this issue?
I don't think my Macbook got this hot when it had stock components...

Not likely. Hard drives usually only increase heat if they run faster (7200RPM vs 5400RPM) but you could have a hot running drive. 60 is not something that would worry me.

60 isn't really all that hot especially if its only the cpu. How fast are your fans spinning?

Yeah 60 isn't overly hot. Especially when these processors in the MB can reach upwards of 100 C. Your fans should keep everything in check. I wouldn't worry too much

Thanks guys... I was just worried that I screwed up something while upgrading the parts... or worse, the parts I bought from Newegg are faulty....
I guess only the time will tell.
