SONY VAIO S5M TEMPERATURE

Less than a month ago I bought a S5M -Centrino M740 at 1,73Ghz -. The first time you boot it and configure it, is very noisy and after that it seems to become a little bit more stable.

The problem is that even after that, the CPU temperature seems to be at the limit, even with the BIOS updated, so every time you open explorer, or try to do something, the fan begins to work. I think is something similar to what happened with the TX1. Moreover, the fan's speed is variable, so it calls your attention more often.

The usual temperature surfing the web, reading e-mail, etc. uses to be 50º, just the limit of the fan. When I try some games, or even with exploring folders, etc. it reaches 68º!

I've been reading reviews of similar models, like the S460 which has the same case, processor, memory, HD - everything but graphics card -, and it has 40º on normal working and about 56º under hard work, and that's 10º less than mine! http://www.mobiletechreview.com/notebooks/sony-vaio-S460.htm
That really seems more reasonable, because it's really disturbing to have the fan going on and off ever time, at differente speeds, JUST EXPLORING THE HD! (Imaging compiling 10 MB of code or rendering a GB scene). Note: the HD temperature is normal, 39º.

I'd like to know if people with the same model or similar (S460, S5VP, etc..) have the same problem and what temperatures they reach. Have you asked Sony about this? What can we do? Let's see if together we can fix this!

Thank you!
