Hi,

I'm running an XPS M1330, 1 yr 2 months old, still in warranty.
Specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz;
nVidia GeForce 8400M GS

Recently I noticed that my fan has been working overtime. I installed SpeedFan 4.38,
and here're the reported temps:

GPU: 57 C
HD0: 45
Temp1: 55
Core0: 51
Core1: 50
Core: 67
Ambient: 0

At times I've even seen them in the 70s.

Should I be worried, you know, it being winter and all?

Thx,
JaX

Hi,

Try to avoid keeping the notebook over mattresses like your bed of sofa or such soft plastic type surface.. These materials doesnt allow proper ventilation..

If possible then work while the notebook is on a table, and notice if there is a change in temp or not..

Thanks..
