very high temperatures in Asus notebook

very high temperatures in Asus notebook

[Zé]

I would like to understand why using linux, my notebook gets much higher 
temperatures than using windows, in linux i get about 67º celcius grades.

For what i have compared to other notebooks, the drive made for my notebook, 
an Asus A2h, you can see specifications in 
http://www.asus.com/products/notebook/a2series/a2000h/a2000h_overview.htm

I dont see other notebooks get so high temperatures like mine, and im also 
talking about Asus notebooks.

Im pasting here the sensors output:

I'm doubting that those temperatures are accurate, considering how 
screwed up all the other parameter values are..
