Pentium Dual-Core E5200 often at 56c temp

[keynesabc]

My PC not running smoothly. I check the temp in Core Temp 1.0 RCB. Core 0 and Core 1 are both 52-60c degree. I think it is too hot. Is it normal?

Thanks for your help.

60°C is cool, but is that at idle? What are you using the PC for? That CPU can't play current games; an i3-4150 is more than twice as powerful.

when under load. 60c still normal? when my pc go up to 47c it becomes slow. Under 47c, it is fast.

Under 100°C it should be fast; are you sure the measured temperature is correct? Have you tried monitoring it with another utility like Speccy? Does the frequency drop when it reaches 47°C? Is there a setting in the BIOS where you cold set the limit to 47°C and force it to slow down once it gets warmer? Unfortunately your system may be too old to be compatible with Intel XTU, but it costs nothing to give it a try.
