Laptop temperature

I often hear the fan of my x200 making a lot of noise when I start abrowser (nothing loaded automatically) or open a second tab even though I am not doing much and the CPU load seems very low. I added the sensor applet to the mate panel, I see temperature of 43-44°C for "CPU" and 44-47°C for "Core1" and "Core2". Are these values normal?
I bought this laptop used about 2 years ago from a site similar to ebay and I don't know whether there are things to check.
I don't have my t400 with me now so I cannot check, but with my t400 I very rarely hear the fan noise.

I would say it's maybe a tad high. My T400 has a Core 2 Q9300 in it and I have been using it to type this on. Since I turned it on my CPU core temps have ranged from 29-49 C. Considering the X200 usually has the P8400 CPU in it I would expect it to run a bit cooler than my Q9300.
I would try blowing the fans out witha can of compressed air. It's non invasive in that you don't have to take apart the laptop and it would only take a few minutes. If you see a lot of dust come out then hopefully the temps lower. if there is little to no dust in the fan then maybe it needs some fresh thermal paste and that would be more effort as you would need to take it apart.

Thanks for the rely. Since I activated the sensor applet, I can see the temperature going to 60°C or more at session start and whenever I start some not small application. I'll try the fan blowing. So far, the only thing I did was to change the disk and the wifi card. I could notice that it was rather easy to take this computer apart but I have no experience with thermal paste. Any recommendation on this is welcome.

you may be happy but if you mess around with DWM and get a the status bar thing installed
to your liking: you will have a temperature thing everything; not only that, but it will
less on your computer to run that than mate or gnome. You might have to install dwm with apt
then build/compile dwm manually and replace the dwm you installed apt with the one you built.
The most basic status bar I believe you can get for that is called dwmstatus. I always have to
change the Berlin timezone to my timezone to get the precise time.
