Can you load mobile meter (
http://dssc3031.ece.cmu.edu/~tamaru/mobilemeter/mobilemeterreadme-e.htm ),
and tell us what the temperatures actually are ?
Just for reference, here's a picture of mobile meter running on my R40.

Here's another picture of the same machine running at 100% cpu.
Notice the temperature increase to about 60c.

Are you running at 100% cpu all the time ?
