What is the temperature of the Laptop (Mobmeter)?

Also, when was the last time that you cleaned it and are there any programs running that are consuming a lot of CPU cycles?

Fans don't normally turn completely off until the unit las a temp that is less than 36C.

yeah the fans never turn off.

My fans turn off often - and then there is this WOSH as they turn back on. I prefer that they never trun off so that I don't get that WOSH - much quiter overall as they throttle down as the temps go down.

My fans are always on. And the temps are usually fairly high, which I find strange because I just got it back from Sager who was supposed to fix the problem of my fan always being on.
